Uncool

[poliphilo]

I've noticed I'm saying "cool" a lot. It's become a verbal tic. And shows the brain is running on autopilot. I need to cut it out.

We had a friend who said "rock and roll" every other sentence and we used to mock him for it behind his back (affectionately, I hope.) Well, saying "cool" all the time is exactly the same thing.

Comic characters in books, films and sitcoms are often given verbal tics. It's a time-approved way of getting laughs.

"Well gaaaaaaawleeeeeee!"

Time-approved and lazy. :-p
