31
00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:17.700
time but you just can't stop for me it's

00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:20.520
wow because when I am in this emotional

33
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:23.759
state of really liking something I just

34
00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:26.520
can't stop myself from saying wow and it

35
00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:28.380
just comes out naturally but this is why

36
00:01:28.380 --> 00:01:30.119
we're here we're here to learn

37
00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:32.400
alternatives to different words and I

38
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.220
actually asked Chad jpt to come up with

39
00:01:35.220 --> 00:01:37.920
10 overused words in English and Chad

40
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.200
GPT analyzes a lot of different

41
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.259
resources in English like websites books

42
00:01:43.259 --> 00:01:45.360
magazines and it searches for certain

43
00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:48.360
patterns so I trust judge gbt here so

44
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:50.579
here are the top 10 overused words

45
00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:53.220
according to chat GPT I'm gonna name the

46
00:01:53.220 --> 00:01:55.680
word and we're gonna learn other ways to

47
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.899
say uh whatever you're feeling when you

48
00:01:57.899 --> 00:02:00.360
use this word word number one is awesome

49
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:03.180
and again again I can totally relate we

50
00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:05.579
use the word awesome when we really like

51
00:02:05.579 --> 00:02:07.860
something when we are extremely pleased

52
00:02:07.860 --> 00:02:10.560
with something and of course when you're

53
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.780
in this emotional state you just can't

54
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:15.120
process what's going on you're like oh

55
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.000
my God whoa amazing awesome but yeah

56
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.680
it's an overused word and there is

57
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.540
nothing wrong with it but it's just like

58
00:02:21.540 --> 00:02:23.760
if you're recording a video and you say

59
00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:26.040
awesome 10 times in a minute it might

60
00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:27.540
sound a little bit weird so there are

61
00:02:27.540 --> 00:02:30.300
certainly other ways to stay awesome you

62
00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:33.360
can say magnificent this suggests more

63
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.760
Elegance like a magnificent dress the

64
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:37.680
art here is magnificent you can say

65
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.080

66
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.739
is visually appealing you look

67
00:02:43.739 --> 00:02:46.860
you can say spectacular for example the

68
00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:49.919
fireworks display was spectacular this

69
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.419

amazing amazing means causing surprise

72
00:02:56.459 --> 00:02:58.319
or wonder

73
00:02:58.319 --> 00:02:59.639
and again

74
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.180

80
00:03:16.019 --> 00:03:18.419
this word can describe something really

81
00:03:18.419 --> 00:03:21.180
impressive it's a little bit more formal

82
00:03:21.180 --> 00:03:23.819

00:09:04.019 --> 00:09:06.300
harsh it was foolish of me to go out

218
00:09:06.300 --> 00:09:08.519

new bad drivers just inexperienced ones

223
00:09:23.839 --> 00:09:27.120
ignorant this is a word that suggests

224
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.120
lack of Education or awareness he left

225
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.279
some ignorant comments he sounded

226
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.980
ignorant can you really be so ignorant

227
00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:36.720
about what is happening in Germany

228
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.480
unwise is another great word to use I

229
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.160
think violating fire codes and

230
00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:43.440
endangering the lives of children would

231
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.000
be unwise at this juncture in your

232
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.640
career sir boring is another overused

233
00:09:47.640 --> 00:09:48.360
word

234
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.640
how can you replace it you can say

235
00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:54.240
tedious tedious implies a long process

236
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.519
while boring can refer to a lack of

237
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.220
Interest the long commute from San

238
00:09:59.220 --> 00:10:01.620
Francisco to LA was tedious and time

239
00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:04.440
consuming there are irrelevant tasks and

240
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.179
I'm okay with a mild amount of tedious

241
00:10:06.179 --> 00:10:09.899
tasks but birthday shopping for In-laws

242
00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:12.839
should cross the line right monotonous

243
00:10:12.839 --> 00:10:14.880
is another great word I hate the

244
00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:18.680
monotonous tasks in my job

245
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.720
if every scene is brilliant your movie

246
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.540
is going to be utterly monotonous and

247
00:10:24.540 --> 00:10:27.019
engaging

248
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.480
While others do dreary

249
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.339
depressingly boring so good to be away

250
00:10:35.339 --> 00:10:37.920
from that dreary little town lazy is

251
00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:40.260
another overused word let's think of the

252
00:10:40.260 --> 00:10:43.320
synonyms slothful means lazy do you know

253
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.559
this animal a sloth he's super slow and

254
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.899
lazy and sleeps all day long and eats

255
00:10:48.899 --> 00:10:51.839
all the time slothful slothful Sinners

256
00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:54.260
they had to work I sit around with your

257
00:10:54.260 --> 00:10:57.779
indolent suggests wanting to avoid a

258
00:10:57.779 --> 00:11:00.360
certain activity he was known for his

259
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.540
indolent attitude towards work natural

260
00:11:03.540 --> 00:11:07.140
depravity I suppose

261
00:11:07.140 --> 00:11:08.519
active

262
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.160
pretty clear the weeks of stunning

263
00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:13.860
growth and activity Kelvin is completely

264
00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:17.399
inactive and the last overused word for

265
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:21.000
today is crazy meaning mentally ill or

266
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.179
unstable people thought he was crazy for

267
00:11:24.179 --> 00:11:27.660
quitting his highly paid job what are

268
00:11:27.660 --> 00:11:30.958
the synonyms insane insane is more

269
00:11:30.958 --> 00:11:34.140
extreme I must have been insane to think

270
00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:36.540
you would ever love me it's more

271
00:11:36.540 --> 00:11:38.339
comfortable for you to label me insane

272
00:11:38.339 --> 00:11:41.339
mad mad means crazy but be careful

273
00:11:41.339 --> 00:11:43.920
because it's more commonly used for

274
00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:46.500
angry I'm mad at you means I'm angry at

275
00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:48.480
you but instead of saying they're crazy

276
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.640
about each other you can say they're mad

277
00:11:50.640 --> 00:11:52.980
about each other towards your magic

278
00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:56.519
absolutely out of your mind unusual is a

279
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.179
more politically correct polite word

280
00:12:00.179 --> 00:12:02.760
is an unusual situation yes

281
00:12:02.760 --> 00:12:05.540
your address is a little unusual for

282
00:12:05.540 --> 00:12:09.240
this type of party these conversations

283
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.000
used to end with an unusual request and

284
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.120
an

285
00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:16.679
acting was

286
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.200
this is bizarre now remember that crazy

287
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.000
has different meanings and when you say

288
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.578
she's crazy about animals means she's

289
00:12:23.578 --> 00:12:26.339
highly enthusiastic about animals not

290
00:12:26.339 --> 00:12:28.440
that she has gone mad

291
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.600
