We all have one (or more). I have the unfortunate habit of bookending every sentence with either "um", "y'know", "like" or ending them with "really". I mean, why can't I make a habit of saying "narf" or "derp"? Meh, well. Anyway, what's your overused word(s)? "Anyway" is another one, actually. So's "actually". ENOUGH!
I don't actually know, but since you actually know me in real life, you can tell me.

What word do I most overuse, Gabriel? I'd like to know.

"Gabriel, calm down."
Sadly, that's actually probably it.

According to Kevin (my dad) I don't actually have one. So I have no place on this thread.

Awaaaaaaay!

Actually, I realised that I use the word '****' a lot.

So that.

I love that word.

I think ending a sentence with -thingie. English is not my first language, and i tend to forget a word every once in a while.

Off the top of my head:
1.Bloody
2.What
3.Bugger

Other than that I go through phases of overusing certain words/phrases anywhere from a week to a month or two. Probably more down to OCD though as it is usually accompanied by what I would describe as some sort of 'physical tic' (technically this is wrong and it should be referred to as a 'compulsion' but I don't like calling it a 'physical compulsion' - it just doesn't sound right).

EDIT: 4.Technically
