Um Uh Um Uh Um

I don’t care what you have to say, I cannot listen to you.

Ehhh, Uhhhhh, Ehhhh. Good for goats, not for humans.

Pet peeve warning: there are certain verbal habits media personalities have that make it impossible for me to listen to them. This is sad for me, because I wouldn’t seek out their work if I didn’t want to hear what they have to say. But they get just so many “uh, um, er, um, uhs” before I have to give up. I’m old. I don’t have time to listen to fingernails on a blackboard.
