When someone throws in 'blah blah blah' in the conversation like they don't have anymore words to describe what they want to say...

A friend of mine recently developed this annoying habit. We went to L.A. and back a couple months ago and he did this at least 30 times.
Your point is taken and I agree! Some of this is about proper English, the rest is just catch phrases or slang that many think have just been over used. I believe just about everyone has a phrase or go to line that we use when just out having fun. For me, twenty years or less from now it's not going to matter, just sayin! LOL
I started putting "basically" into sentences. Wife pointed it out, took some effort to LIKE stop. One of my daughters is a like over user. Haven't look at this thread much but the last couple pages has some entertainment in them.

buddy of mine says "anyhoo" ....... sounds like an old lady, I told him to stop
I’ve had it with, “At the end of the day”
Anyhoo, getting back to basics, blah blah yadda yadda....I was thinking outside the box when I came upon this in a newish member's thread....
A thread about repairing some wiring using a soldering iron. Being an Electrician, I was intrigued to see the technique deployed.
As I listened to the commentary, I soon became acutely aware that there was a problem.
Apparently this fellow thought there was a silent "l' in soldering.....so he was soddering his wires.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was illegal in at least 42 States.
Undeterred, I sought out similar videos on U-Toob, and sure enough, every one I listened to made by an American used the same word.
So what's the dealio here?

I don't try to be annoyed by it, it comes naturally. I have to actively try to avoid responding to it.
