Of late I have realized that
each of us have our own personal brand of fillers. From the widely used
"Actually" to the wrongly used "Literally", people use
fillers all the time.
I use fillers too. I might slip in fillers at certain circumstances, and sometimes needlessly. But these are my usual "Filler Circumstances"

- I am trying to sound intelligent. But, my brain adamantly refuses to accelerate. "Damn you!", I curse myself, "If only you could be smarter".
- I am in a tricky situation, and probably thinking about lying. The circumstance might vary between, "Hey, are you free this weekend?" or "Have you committed your code?"
- I am in Neverland. I have totally tuned people out, and quite possibly don't even hear a word of what the other person is saying. I am probably dreaming of Rafael Nadal or imagining myself to be in a kick-ass sci-fi movie. Yes, I dream that:|
- Among friends. Some of them are pulling my leg for some quirk of mine, and I am trying to retaliate with something sarcastic(very desperately).
- Lastly, I am in the middle of slandering someone/something for being… ummm… stupid, perhaps. Yeah, I can be mean :|
That said, my favorite fillers are
A long "ummmmmmmmm"
A "You know" with my eyes not making contact
I do not mind people using fillers. In fact, I make a note of what fillers people use, and I find it amusing.
Sometimes fillers people use are funny. Funny, in an good way. One of my colleagues uses, "Ahh, yes." I find it funny, and mimic him as often as possible.
Sometimes they are cute. Like when someone says, "Right", and tries to move on.
But sometimes, they are downright pathetic. I hate it when the dudes and babes use it to, you know, "sound cool". It makes me want to gag when someone tries to talk English, walk English, and even stalk English. I would rather call it Ape English. You might want to add a similarly rhyming word if you want ;)
The filler that I am most amused it with was "Yeah, now..." I am sure I heard it somewhere, by someone. It sounds so cool!
There are so many people, and so many fillers. Moreover, I hear new fillers day in and day out. Most of them amuse me. Some of them irritate me. But, I make a note nonetheless.
So, what filler do you use?
