Has anyone else noticed how people say "obviously" all the time these days.?

A news report just interviewed a woman on TV. She said "Obviously I've got 3 children" - no it wasn't obvious, they weren't there. It's not the context in which I'd use the word!

I overheard one wee girl at work today say to her friend who stole the blanket off her in the home corner, "I'm LITERALLY freezing here!"

She's 4!! How does she even know that word!! Haha!

Really good, and basically. 'Talk to the hand' is awful too, I saw a woman saying that to her young son recently.

I'm bad for over-using 'amazing', LadyJ...

Hate 'awesome' though.

My favourite word is 'whatever'. Just can't help myself :-)

In the first instance.

A priori.
