'like'
As in "...so I'm like shut up Mike, like chillax like whatever".
Or "you know when you like, go to the bathroom and people like stare at you for like not washing your hands, like don't you hate that?"
People substitute "um" for 'like'. I hear teens on the bus say it several times in one sentence. I have found myself using it once and I hate myself for it!

I take your point, I never became assertive until I was in my 40's - now I just find myself speaking my mind and that can be a bit disturbing too 
basically
People in my area start a lot of their sentences with that word 
Bazically oohh nazty.
And yez Wurzell, even Wurzell Gummidge's Zyntax.
Chillax? Is that the bastard word of chill and relax?
The worst word I have ever read is: awesomest. And that was for a childrens television show. I nearly cried.
I hate it when people say "skellington" instead of skeleton. And "chimbley" instead of chimney.
And "Get the f**k off me" instead of "Yes! Yes! Shove it deep inside me!".
arcs instead of ask
Perry you're not going around ztabbing people are you?

I only do that at an audible level, in public, when I really pissed off.

Ace!
That and 'take a chill pill'.
No, take a 'f**k off and die, you c**t' pill.
There's a grate new phrase in town (from the US) and it's 'my bad' as in my mistake. Why?
