The Uhs are definitely somewhat annoying, although I must say I myself use the um, or ya know not thinking about it. I would say its a habit, and a bad one at that if your a public speaker. One though that luckily I dont use but have heard college/high school kids using is "So Amazing" , example: "My date last night with that hot new guy from school was so amazing. I must say my friends are so amazing, and my family is ammaaazing, and that cookie i just ate was soo amaazing!" The second one is "good times", oh man that one just makes me wanna punch someone, the person saying it in particular lol. Example: "Oh hey girl, me and Katie went to drink at Bobby's, there were so many hotties, yeah, oh yeah, good times!" "Last night my brother and I were goofing around playing video games, when our friend Kip decided to stick a paper clip in the electric socket and get majorly electricuted, it was hilarious, good times man, good times!"
Guy I went to high school with started nearly every statement with "Hey man" and ended with "by God". He finally quit when a bunch of us counted up how many times he used each phrase in 5 minutes - something like 18 and 20 - it was a lot.
Whydoucare, you can have him alllll to yourself. I won't fight you on that. I will be busy and have plans for any dinner he absolutely begs my presence for. I'll uhhhhhh have uhhhh volleyball that night.
I do it. It's because I'm thinking about what I'm about to say and the best way to elaborate my point. Nothing more than that.
I even do so when I type. There are plenty of times when I get half way through a sentence, delete it and start over or replace one word with another, more eloquent one.
It's just a silence filler. Some people get anxious by the silence and need to fill it. Some don't realize they are even doing it. Don't crucify them, it's just a crutch they feel they need for whatever reason. Sometimes as they feel more comfortable with you, it will lessen. If it really bothers you, point it out nicely.

One of the few posts that is anything more than just another rant against men. Guys are understandably nervous and with this crowd, I'm surprised they don't start to stutter too!
I suppose. in the end, they'll get what they deserve.
Since everything most men say will be disected and analyzed for evidence of some hidden flaw, is it any wonder that such men are slow to speak and very careful about what they say?
One nice thing about getting older is not really caring that much how things work out. You can now come across as "confident" and prove the lie that this is what women want. What is even better is when you quickly "gross them out" by being frank and running smack into one of their ridiculous neuroses.
A younger guy might be more worried about getting laid first and then worry about all of this. But when one gets older, who has the time to waste on such nonsense?
