My two most hated words are 'basically' and 'ultimately'. Business people drop these two words like they're going out of style. They're both just filler words that (like you said) are used to make the person sound smarter.
"and ultimatley that decision will have to come from you...."
"well basically we'll have to change our plan...."
I don't know why, but I just want to puch people in the face when I hear those two words, lol. It's always those corperate types too, and from what I hear, calgarypuck is quite corperate, so I'm sure there are some people on here that will confess to over-using those words.
