There are some words that celebrities just can't do without.

There are some words that celebrities just can't do without. They might sound meaningless, but since they're said with oodles of attitude and sometimes a wee bit of an accent, they go a long way in catching our attention. The following should ring a bell:

1. Amazing
From film performances to outfits to personalities to food u2013 everything in this world can be summed up with this word. Fantastic, fantabulous, awesome, great, are used just to show that they're not victims of a limited vocabulary.

2. Basically
The word is often used when they are asked an awkward or difficult question. It helps in buying time to think up a suitably polite answer. The word is most often followed with a bit of silence and then another 'basically.'

3. Awful
Anything that has to be spoken ill of is usually awful. The word doesn't sound offensive, crass or mean. It's mild enough to be taken with a pinch of salt and yet strong enough to convey the message.

4. Tied up
When celebs don't want to talk, they use these words. Saying that they're very busy might sound a tad rude. 'I'm in the middle of something,' though vague, is also commonly used.

5. Babes/dude
It is safe to address people as babes or dude, especially if they're not sure of their names u2013 which is nearly always the case with celebs. Moreover, these titles are also endearing.
