The 4 words you use most every day

Mamamia Team Monday 20 February 2012 1:03pm

What are the four words that you use MOST every day? This was a question we saw posed on The Punch last week. Their reply:

coffee, comments, news.com.au, yarn

The entire editorial team were quick to come up with their own four words. Although we didn’t really need to be told. We hear them often enough already.

So, the four words we use most every day:

Mia – tea, phone, tweet, babe

Lana – post, publish, post-its, hungry

Rick – dinosaur, numpty, typo!, news

Nicky – like, coffee, baby, sleep

Lucy – Melbourne, whoops, gallery, honey

Nat - bus, pony, water, crackers

What are the four words that you use most every day?

Can I make it most used phrases?
“That’s fucking bullshit, seriously!”
“I just want to drink coffee and watch Gilmore Girls”
“I miss my beautiful baby boy” (yep, I have a cat)
“ugggggggh, don’t wanna.”

….I do actually have a fairly productive life.

Um, why, excuse me (technically a phrase), what

“Ummm” to start every second sentence
“Why” why is that? why would that be the case? why do you think that was the response you got? One of the most important words as a journo
“excuse me (insert colleagues name here)” Because I can’t stand yelling a name across the news room
“what” did he say? what did he want? what the f***? What a $*^(&@&)!

Ends.

most used four word sentence: “is that the time?!”
four most used individual words: ****, babe, sorry, tea

I have a tendency to swear like a sailor & over-apologise, although not for my foul mouth, lol.

  Oh and if it is a sentence it would be “It’s not that hard!” and you can take that any way you like!
