I have now become hyper-aware of how often I use that phrase

Are there any phrases that people have told you you overuse or are characteristic of how you talk?

      Because they want someone to agree with them about something. My coworker does that same thing, especially when it comes to history or politics. Problem is, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and therefore his metaphors and euphamisms confuse me even more because they’re straight up wrong or aren’t comparable. That leads me to ask him to actually say what he’s trying to say, which results in me usually disagreeing and occasionally starting arguments.
