Basically wankers
Pearoast alert, but people using the word basically out of context really boils my piss.

The problem has reached epidemic proportions with Stephen Fry using it 6 times on QI last week, and serious academics using it when interviewed on Newsnight.

It's time we started kicking people in the cunt/cock every time they use it.

Also people who use 'Obviously' as some sort of substitute for actually being obvious.

I literally die every time I hear someone say that.

'Actually' is another one that gets my blood up.

Actually I use basically all the time, obviously. Fundametally it's blatantly just like an alternative to 'um', obviously, but it's like I literally don't care.
I used to, but then I mellowed out.

Err
Your first sentence doesn't make sense, grammatically. It should have been:

I'll not ninja edit it though. That can really sandpaper some people's nips.

'Basically'is what managers say when they don't want to swear.

Fitter: The fookin'pump's fookin'fooked.
Manager: Basically, the pump has become temporarily non-operational.

But we need to know
Does it literally boil your piss?

If so I'm basically coming round to your house and basically saying "basically" a lot.

I once worked at a place where I was one of two supervisors...

The two of us would 'rotate' with the 10 minute morning team meeting - one day him, one day me.

Whenever it was the other guy's turn we had an on running joke that I would make a little mark on the board every time he said 'basically' to everyone.

He would regularly get past 15 in 10 minutes. It was like The fucker just couldn't stop himself.
