I try not to use words too much. I deliberately choose new words for the same things.

That said, I do have something I add to whatever I say often enough to count.

Can you guess it, neh?

I'd say my two most overused words are "probably" and, sadly, "************".

The first one because I like to be leave room for error. I pretty much never use "definitely" when I could use "probably" instead.

The second one I use to refer to anyone who is not currently within earshot. Example:
"Damn, that ************ made some superb brownies."
Which sometimes catches people off guard because I try to pronounce it as eloquently as possible, saying "************" instead of "muthafucka".

I like to re-use big and highly specific words like "Perfunctory", "callipygian", and "defenistrate". Swearwords are the words I most overuse though - to the point where they have lost all effect.

Shenannigans. I call shenannigans on most things that don't make sense.
There are 3 levels, Shennanigans (for geneneral usage), bull shit (for more ridiculous happenings), then FUBAR (only for the times when things really are Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition). Only once have I encounted anything that can be classified as FUBAR.
