Verbal Ticks Run Amok

I have a “verbal tick,” a saying that I repeat too often.  When bridging two thoughts, I will say, “Any who.”

My wife, Charlene, also has a verbal tick.  When finishing a thought, she will say, “and such.”

Our 11-year-old son, Sam, has begun combining the two.  A common use is “Any who, school was good and such.”

Poor Sam, we did not mean to inflict those ticks upon you.  Any who, we are so sorry and such.
