This was a link from the WSJ.

The words are Actually, Basically, Honestly (a personal fave of mine), Literally, and the chronic offender: Like.

The article will explain why.

So proud to be "stupid" only two-fifths of the time.

Basically is my clutch word

Honestly, though, I actually don't think many people listen to literally everything someone is saying, like, actually all the time.  

Now I'm editing my comments.  I began speaking to my wife and cut off the actually that leaped to lips, then silenced the basically and honestly.

Oh boy.  Thanks for the post and link.  Cheers
