In my opinion when the said word is repeatedly used in every sentence, as there are people who do that and even people whose entire vocabulary seems to be based upon that word, it starts to sound quite ridiculous. I've often wondered what might be the intelligence quotient of those people.

Mitch Hedberg....

"Last night I told the crowd to famous off....I felt bad though...and I said 'Alright famous back on'"

Not so much how they use it to me, but about the message.

i use the said word in cases of explanations. What the... when in awe. Who the... does he/she think they are. Maybe even a bit in the bedroom.

I hate the overuse of such words, but the holier than thou puritans on this board amuse me highly. Not saying you are, bud, just speaking generally, there seems to be a few who never uttered that word.

I love that word, and no I am not a dumbass, but context and meaning should always take precedence.

I like Stephen Fry's take on swearing in general:
