“A word once let out of our mouth cannot be chased back even with the swiftest horse.”
— Chinese Proverb
This quote, though not directly about overuse, highlights the importance of being mindful with words, suggesting that once a word is spoken, it has an impact that can’t be undone. Overused words, in a similar way, can lose their power and meaning.

Here are a few more words that are often overused:

1. “Amazing” – It’s frequently used to describe things that are good, but not necessarily “amazing,” which diminishes its impact.
2. “Basically” – Many people use this as a filler word, even when the explanation isn’t particularly basic.
3. “Absolutely” – Often used to add emphasis, but can be redundant, especially when “yes” would suffice.
4. “Epic” – Used to describe things that are not truly epic in scale or importance.
5. “Unique” – Overused to the point where it sometimes gets applied to things that aren’t particularly distinctive.
