over and over, again and again

So this may be non schoolastic or whatever, but it makes me feel like an observer. I have been tallying up phrases overused by my instructors. Only two of my instructors actually. I won't say who they are, but if you have them as a teacher you may be able to figure out who they are.

anonymous teacher #1: used the phrase "shall we say" 31 times in one class period. Don't you notice that?

anonymous teacher #2: uses the following phrases at least 4 times a piece EACH CLASS:
"the other aspect of this is..."
"this is what were dealing with HERE"
"this is what were talking about HERE"
"the fact of the matter is..."
"go ahead and..."


I can't concentrate in these classes!!
