"I'm literally dying" - no you aren't but it'd be really cool if you were.

i agree with the OP. I've heard several entrepreneurs on Shark Tank start sentences with "so" in answer to questions from the Sharks. It sounds juvenile when coming from adults.

Please reference the episode.

I have seen every episode of Seinfeld 64 times (hence my username), and I don't ever remember Kramer being asked this.

Add to that saying "obviously"or "literally.". Or "look" or "listen"


nothing wrong with those.. those are attention grabbing.. to indicate perhaps something of more importance than just standard chatter..

absolutely nothing wrong with those..

Brees, Payton, and that numbnuts Loomis do that crap all the time.


yet you are the one resorting to name calling. numbnuts.. the first just goes to show you lack maturity or understanding lol.

Also, ending a sentence with "no?" Makes you sound like a half-wit. Don't do it. Ever.


another understood thing.. it's a simple and short way to get the opinion on what you had just said..

there's absolutely nothing wrong with this.. and it certainly does not make you a "half-wit"

you sound very anal.. and that's not good..

just my opinion though.. sorry those things bother you.

I'm meant most of that in jest.


When words or phrases fall into the popular vernacular, they lose effectiveness.
Saying "look" and "listen" before every verbal thought tells me you are about to say something probably not worth "looking" or "listening" to anyway.

Be creative in your speech and people will pay attention. Copying every phrase and using it ad nauseam will make people tune out very quickly.

Amirite?
