Well.. basically...... some words are just verbal padding to "keep the channel open" while a new phrase is being formulated -- annoying but almost neccesary.
But... I do agree on "literally". "I literally jumped out of my skin!!!!" no, you fucking mong, you figuratively or, if you like, metaphorically jumped out of your skin -- which is a shame because if it happened literally you would have died a painful death.

What happened to "um"?Have we all had media training now, or something, so that we have to actually use actual words as actual padding in our actual speech?
