I get it - Its for buying some more time - Because the influx of our thoughts and ideas is just too much for our mouths to endure or not.
Fillers
You get them on records of even the most prolific of songwriters, either because of indulgence or laziness or time pressure - you pick your most believable alibi.
For us call center peeps - This might be one of our most evident Moo's (BTW I've taken the liberty of calling it that as it is cuter and Boo Boo's are just plain redundant - 1 Boo is enough hehe) Even our QA friends will agree.
These useless terms serve only one purpose - and that's to show everyone how inadequate we are - or to put it nicely - unprepared. So saying 'like' as in the movies or how some celebrities would overuse it is not only uncool, its also annoying.
Pick a favorite - you know, actually, basically, right, so and the least ashamed of them all - the good ole 'ahm'
Listen to yourself and try to write the sentence you would say.
Take out the filler and read it, does it change its definition?
So really, believe it when they say 'Less is more'
I say its divine.
