I say like and do you know what I mean constantly. Also “I’ve got it”

    “Bro.” Started saying it ironically and accidentally rewired my brain.

    Just remembered a few more:

    When someone asks “how’s it going,” I’ll either respond “it goes” or “relentlessly,” depending on how relentlessly it goes.

    In response to a question in a field in which I have little expertise, I shall respond with “I’m not a botanist.”

    When multiple small things go wrong in quick succession, I may quip “Mondays, right?” only if the day is not Monday.

      I tend to reply that I’m going “reasonable” mostly copying a dead friend who used to say it when asked. He died in his 90s of natural causes but was a really interesting fella. Homosexual, Jewish, Holocaust survivor, antiquities dealer.

    “First of all…”

    I said it so many times while drunk once that my brother made a song mocking me. That was a wild night.

    “I’m full of good ideas ;)” as a response to someone using a suggestion of mine and saying it helped.

    I started saying it to boost my own confidence, I think. But it’s true!

    “Don’t quote me on that.”

    I say a lot of “facts” that come to my head that I think I’m remembering correctly and are relevant to the scenario/conversation. But I never know if I’m actually saying anything correct or if it just sounds convincing but isn’t true like ChatGPT.

    Some of my coworkers can get amused or annoyed with it and some like to respond things like “I’m never going to quote you on anything ever” lmao.

    “it’s fine”… It’s very versatile for self reassurance. Working on something and find yourself letting perfect be the enemy of good? Just stop, it’s fine. Making some mountain out of a molehill? Stop worrying about it, it’s fine… Before I get too carried away with examples, I’ll just stop there, it’s fine
