to not get the actual point of...

[peanutMD]

Putting actual in the middle of every sentence?

This is really starting to baffle me, Scott Mills has been doing it for years and out was funny at first because he was taking the piss out of someone he knew who over used the weird, is this where its came from?

I just don't get it, what am I missing?! :o

The point, actually

Haha, I know what you mean. It's just a vocal tic that has wormed its way into the vocabulary of the U30's, it makes no sense apart from emphasising the point you're making and making you sound like a tit.

I can't talk though- anytime I'm in work and explaining something to someone I start with "basically". I've tried mixing it up with "essentially" sometimes, but I just can't break the habit. Actually.

At this moment in time. "in time" is superfluous. "At this moment" suffices.

Sorry. I had no where else to mention it

It's just for emphasis, like, you know.....
Actually I'm guilty of saying 'absolutely' instead of 'yes' and I hate it. But it just slips out.

Or even 'now' Jumping

It's totally, like, you know, random.

Its the same as literally, like, basically & you know (what I mean).

Its one of those phrases or words, it doesn't really add anything but people use it all the time.

i say "like" or similar because i'm trying not to swear bloody MN and its swearyiness

I once dumped a boyfriend for overuse of basically.

I'm only 25 should I be doing it too? :o

I just like soooo don't geddit, is it actually an actual vocabular fing then?

Is it worse than 'off of' though? As in Scott Mills 'off of' Radio One?

DH constantly gets on my case for saying "if you know what I mean"

He's right though, I've noticed I say it all the time, IYKWIM.

Scott Mills is a legend! So disappointed I rarely get to listen now he's moved.

Actual Numberlock off of Manchester

'Meet with'... meet suffices.

I like Innuendo Bingo, and the posh lady that reads the texts.

I have words that I over use too, I can't think what they are though...

I don't mind Scotg Mills doing it (I'd let him away with murder though :o) as its for entertainment purposes but its just odd when people start a seemingly normal sentence then chuck in the 'A' bomb lol

Me too SGM - the PR4L

As in
What the actual fuck is going on

That?

Innuendo bingo is brilliant, have had many a bizarre state when walking down the street with my earphones in trying not to laugh very loudly!

And yes stuff like that.

We need a separate Scott thread, best thing on Radio 1 since Mark and Lard

Actually is actually one of the most useless actual words in actual use

It actually doesn't actually mean any actual thing.

You could actually put it just about anywhere in a sentence and kt doesn't make an actual difference whether it's actually there or not.

It literally doesn't actually mean anything Keith.
