So there are about 6 words that i consistently use:
'awesome', 'retarded', 'ridiculous', 'unnecessary/unneeded', 'gay', and 'counter-productive'
No matter the situation, i will most likely use at least one, if not more of these words.
This is rather sad, actually.
I feel like people can tell what kind of person i am just by looking at those words.
I don't like that.
It's just that i have a rather limited vocabulary.
Now i am going to break down each word, their definition, how often i use the word on a daily basis, synonyms i could use instead, and my reasoning for the use of the word.
"Awesome"
Definition: (awe-sum) adj. To be struck with awe, usually in a positive manner.
How Often I Use It (daily): approx. 386
Synonyms: formidable, amazing, heart-stirring, wonderful, marvelous, impressive, vast, superb
My Reasoning: just a quick, go-to word that can describe anything that is good.
"Retarded"
Definition: (ree-tahr-did) adj. lacking certain mental capacities.
How Often I Use It (daily): approx. 142
Synonyms: dumb, stupid, moronic, waste of time, unnecessary
My Reasoning: I'm not trying to be offensive. It's just a word. It gets your point across.
"Ridiculous"
Definition: (ree-dik-you-lus) adj. something that is unbelievable in some way shape or form, an event worthy of memory
How Often I Use It (daily): approx. 657
Synonyms: absurd, wild, crazy, insane, ludicrous
My Reasoning: again, it's just a good go-to word that gets the point across easily.
"Unnecessary/Unneeded"
Definition: adj. something that is not of importance.
How Often I Use It (daily): approx. 238
Synonyms: irrelevant, hindrance, useless, annoyance
My Reasoning: i feel as though, if used properly, it can be a great way to a)get your point across, and b) sound slightly intelligent.
"Gay"
Definition: adj. often used to describe something stupid or unfortunate
How Often I Use It (daily): approx. 186
Synonyms: retarded, stupid, annoyance
My Reasoning: Again, i am not trying to be offensive. How else am i suppose to describe a fanny pack? it's a little gay.
"Counter-productive"
Definition: adj. having an effect opposite to the one intended
How Often I Use It (daily): approx. 97
Synonyms: annoyance, hindrance, unnecessary
My Reasoning: i feel as though, if used properly, it can be a great way to a)get your point across, and b) sound slightly intelligent.
Well, there you go.
