    When you suspect someone of being an idiot, count how many times they say basically when talking.

      This is the word you use when you want to explain something but dont actually have any depth of knowledge. Just say basically a whole bunch and everyone will still think youre super smart and thank you for shielding them from potentially complex concepts.

        Vastly overused word.
        Word used when you dont want to explain all the things someone said wrongly in excruciating detail and since you dont care you just say basically.

          A word used within the context of something or some action that is obvious to all parties within the hearing zone. To clarify, the word should be announced with a douche undertone with the first syllable held out longer than the rest.

              A filler word used repeatedly by individuals, like the words like and stuff or various curse words. Often times the speaker has no idea they are saying it until you bring it up. It is also a sign that the speaker isnt actively speaking and probably talking from the top of their head. This often makes them seem awkward or unintelligent. Ironically, often times these individuals are the smartest people we know...
