Again, What do you name a word that sb says repeatedly and spontaneously in his speech ???
You could find some people saying ( actually ) many times in their speech. Others may say (really) , or ( I swear by God ), or ( hell ) in an exaggerated way like : He is hell talkative. That really hell annoys me . Hell yes . Hell no !!! What do you name such words in English ??? In Arabic we call `em ( Lazmah ). For example ; Adam has got ( Lazmah ) of swearing by God !!!

You mean when someone uses words in the middle of their comment without apparent neccesity or reason? Such as : you know this, you know that... you know, you know, you know, you know... and YOU KNOW... or like, like, like, like, like, like ... and the classic "you know what I mean" , or "sort of", etc. Yes, I think "verbal tic" is the term you are looking for .

Verbal tics involve words or noises. Simple verbal tics can be whistles, hums, or throat clearing. Complex vocal tics can be repeating words or phrases . I think that "complex verbal tics" is the expression you are seeking.
