What is your crutch word? Do you say "you know" constently? Or "uh" at every pause? Or the dreaded "like uh"?

    "So" is my word. Sometimes it starts the sentence, sometimes it ends the sentence. I've recently noticed this "so" I am trying to not do it "so" much any more.

    Funny. I used to work at a radio station and when a caller would use what I called a stalling word (like, um, ah, well, etc. ) I'd hang up. Was probably the best part of the whole call in section.
