Why do people keep saying BASICALLY??? It drives me fucking mad!

Especially when they say basically and then proceed to explain something in massive detail; it makes me want to kick their mouth off their face!

Basically its because they want to convey to you the irony in the fact that they can massively over complicate something and yet try to make it sound simple.

I have a tendency to say "Obviously" a little to much when speaking to customers, which an old manager picked up on and i'm conscious of it now but still do it.

Oh and I tell you what is far, far worse:

"Basically, its kinda like".

Why do these uneducated cretins feel the need to exercise their speech cortex by the use of complete and utter conversational BILGE!

If you are going to speak take the time to say something constructive and useful or even just vaguely interesting otherwise just shut the fuck up.

Worst one for me 'the reality is'.

Don't know why but I encounter this phrase on a daily basis.

thats it basically. dad always says this... must be a northern thing

you should come to the south wales valleys though, they over pronounce everything, if they are going to say something they'll say "what it is see......" and stuff like "derrr thats good innit"
