Or, alternatively, what are some old fads you wish would make a comeback?
The spirit of the question is social fads. Please try to keep replies to lighthearted things. I’ll delete the post if the comments turn into political commentary.
The fidget spinner.
Currently waiting on people to stop using “know what I mean”, “end of the day”, “umm”, “like”, “I mean”, and other filler words.
Fidgets have great therapeutic uses, just they tend to get tossed at teachers who aren’t trained
I think you’ll be waiting a very long time. The specific words and phrases will shift, but I think filler words are just a natural consequence of thinking while speaking. Some people are better at that than
meothers but it’s not going to disappear.Obama: “Um.”
Vonnegut: “Um.”
Yeah, um, it works.
I agree but also filler words are important. It spaces out the information, making it easier for people to digest in real time.
A brief pause does the same thing.
But then…you sound like…William…Shatner…and I’m not…sure…if that is any…better.
