empty words
Empty words, also known as "filler words," are words or phrases that do not add any significant meaning to a statement or sentence. They are often used to fill gaps in speech or writing, allowing the speaker or writer extra time to think or giving the text a more conversational flow. Examples of empty words include "like", "you know", "actually", "basically", "seriously", et cetera. These words are largely considered superfluous and are advised to be avoided in formal writing or public speaking settings.
