Use the words in normal sentances when you talk to people. "When you use a word three times, it's yours"

I have. I am not aware of any specific research into the concept (at least not direct research). I have found that synergy has an odd way of just kind of cropping up in ones life if one has the sense to look for it. I also tend to think in a more expansive pattern rather than linear habits that I had developed when younger- I often find myself extrapolating on concepts that have been familiar to me for some time and seeking new ways to integrate them into other, less conventional modes than I had originally understood them to be applied. I am an inventor, artist, artisan, and student of engineering and have been most grateful to R. Buckminster for his fascinating (and sometimes weird) contributions to my own thought patterns.

I believe the phrase is used to indicate to the speaker that he is being un-neccessarily verbose...

Yes.\n\nIt's used in the sentence that you posed as a question.

My dad always referenced it as "come see, come saw". Kind of an early version of "been there, done that".

oh i have so many that i have incorporated into daily language:\nSTFU- Shut the F*** Up\nGTFO- Get the F*** Out\nTMOL- Take my own life (this is used when you are saying something like, that test made me want to kill myself. instead you would say that test makes me want to TMOL)\nBrut- short for Brutal, when something is really annoying

No I didn't.  I have used that saying.  I agree with it.  The saying, that is.

Boy, that is a good one to bring back memories. It was one of my father's less obnoxious expressions. I now wonder how it got started in the first place. He used it in a situation like, I would say, "I am going to the movies tonight." He would answer,yelling "In a pig's eye!" "Your staying home and cleaning the cellar!!"   He was not the best father and this was one more way he would endear himself to me. So I guess it means NO WAY,  CAN'T HAPPEN, NOT LIKELY

Well let me be the first to say hahahahahahaha......because I'm from south MS and we southerners "use it all the time". ex: I'ma do it afterwhile, I'ma tell it if u don't, I'ma see if she's home....etc. rather than say I'm going to or about to; we say I'ma or Fin too, or finin, finna etc...but surprisingly I never say fixing too....if anymore southern slang boggles your mind.........just ask.........take care

Some people really do mean it, but I believe the majority of people say it just to be polite. At least their mind is in the right place in trying to be considerate to a person. I'd say 50% of our daily speech is occupied saying to others what we think they want to hear, but I'm just guessing on the percentage.

I remember one time at work, I had been talking to someone for about 15 minutes & was thinking what a good listener he was. Someone else came into the room & said straight away "Hey Karen, your right my left" & pointed downwards. When I looked down my right thrupenny was hanging out. I asked the first guy why he hadn't said anything all that time & he said he was gobsmacked.

The proper word is "verbigeration".\nIt means "continuous repetition of certain stereotyped phrases [basically a form of mental illness".

It's great. I'd adopt it as my own motto if I didn't already have a good one.\n\nMine's "Thole and think on", by the way. If you don't understand it that only means you need to use the dictionary more often.

yes i make up new words very frequently and my favorite word is barf-scarfing when someone is making any sort of annoying or irritable sound i tell them to stop barf-scarfing.
