Just - Really - Actually - I think

I use those words too often. It bugs me. I'm making a conscious decision to stop it.

My last two conscious efforts with respect to vocabulary were:
(1) Stop using "like"
Like, you know, right?
She was, like, getting on my nerves.

(2) Stop using f*ck (or any version of it)
Hard to believe but there were a couple of years where that was audible in almost every other sentence that came out of my mouth.
Did you see that f*cking wave?
What the f&ck!
You have to be f$cking kidding me.

If I'm around people that use those words often enough, I start to do so also. I'm a recovering something-or-other.
