obviously. nothing is really obvious. the sky is not always blue. the grass is not always green. not everybody is aware that it's dangerous to put a metal fork in a toaster, and the word "obviously" just shames people. shaming people for their ignorance is not helpful.
stupid / idiot / dumb. i'm not stupid. you're not stupid. the malfunctioning laptop is not stupid. we're all just a lil special, and that's so fun and cool and okay. there are better words to use.
i promise. i can't really promise you anything because fate is fickle. i'm so sorry
annoying. it's vague and overused. there's usually a better option—frustrating? disappointing? infuriating? inconvenient?
no offense. if what you're saying isn't offensive, you don't need to say no offense. :|
