I use most of these actually with colleagues and family.
Not sure why folks get so stirred up about them?
I’m guessing they’re the old folks who can’t keep up with lingo.
So you’re an ageist? Your parents must be so proud.
Your hypothesis is just plain nuts.
I’m 73. Most of this lazy-man’s crap was around 40 years ago. Some slight variations, to be sure, but there’s no doubt none of this is new. And us old-timers hated it back then, too.
“I use most of these actually with colleagues and family...”
Using the word “actually” should be preceded by, and followed by, a comma.
I actually can’t believe you used the word actually.
Reading your comment about your speech habit brings to mind the words “trite” and “cliche”, actually.
Maybe you should run it up the flagpole and see who salutes.
