I am addicted to Floccinoccinihillipillification (I probably spelt it wrong, but i cant spell) I use it in conversation when ever applicable, even if it floccinoccinihillipillifies my arguement.

Here is the spelling, floccinaucinihilipilification.

From, Dictionary.com. For those of you that want to know what it means:

(?noun
Rare. the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).)

"Countenance" used as a noune rather than a verb would be my addiction word. I read Steven Brust's Paarfi romances and then started speaking just like the characters, including over-use of that word.

I used to be addicted to 'touché' but I managed to control it. Now, I'm addicted to saying 'definitely', I'm really not sure why.

I say 'whatev's' quite a lot, but I say it in a sarcastic way. I also use 'for sure' a lot in my typing. I go through phases with words all the time, it's weird.

Hmm. There are a few.

"Fantastic", inflected as shown
"Psychotic"
"Spectaculous" (yes, I know <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-JJ0xH6JEA>it's not a word)
"Counterproductive" and "counterintuitive"

I'm also a fan of the <url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FlatWhat>Flat What.

A few Finnish words, but here I've noticed to overuse many phrases and words time and time again. I suppose my English grammar just lacks depth and versatility.

I have the habit of when I do say "Indeed," I insert the person's name. Or possibly just "O'Neill." If the latter, it confuses most people.

The Philistines.
"What? Why did you call me O'Neill? My name is Tom." Then they start telling people you are crazy.

But yes, that is cool, I need to start doing that to people.

Before I discovered Doctor Who, I was all Stargate, all the time.
I love Stargate. And Doctor Who. And quite a few other shows. I sometimes spout off Gilmore Girls lines, too. Still, little has the simplicity of "Indeed, O'Neill."

I used to say "fuck" after every other word, but not so much now. Now, for some reason, I'm in love with the word "graphic." No idea why, I just like the way it sounds.
