What word?

[Dawood Usmani]

Hi there!
What's the word called that a person frequently uses in his speech/ conversation and as a result it becomes his symbol/ identification. A word that unintentionally and automatically comes out of his mouth when he talks.
Best regards! :lilangel:

Feature? Trait? Trademark? Quirk?

Catchphrase

I think you are referring to someone who prefaces every utterance with a word that has no context in almost every utterance. Such an example would be:
Right, I'm off to do some shopping.
Right, that was a good meal.
Right, do you have a DAB radio?
Right, well I know you are wrong!
But, occasionally it does fit as in:
Right you are then.

There is a term for this which escapes me at present; when my memory wakes up I'll post it unless someone else gets there first!!

Could it be "pet word"?
Also: What does pet aversion mean?
Best regards!

OK, I think I have it.
OK, it's right here, OK?
OK, wait a minute, OK?
I think it's a crutch word, OK?

No, pet word is not a usual saying anyway.
Pet aversion means your topmost hate, the thing you most want to avoid, the one thing that really annoys you or that you cannot stand.

Anglika is right as usual
