When did this filler word become so commonplace?
Basically, every conversation I have these days with a person under 40 includes this word multiple times.
Basically, I'm asking...does anybody know when this word became so much a part of everyday conversation as to become noticeable and annoying?

Everyone has speech ticks, you do too. You just haven't realized what they are yet.
Mine is that I will get hung up on a phrase, and wear it out. Such as "in the same vein".
I know an old lady who says "Well anyway" to start half the sentences that come out of her mouth.

Everyone has verbal ticks they use to buy time or fill silence. That's why people always marvel at the rare public orator capable of delivering unscripted speeches without stumbling over words or using filler, most people can't do that without a script.
