Actually, I've just realised I picked it up off a pal of mine, I can actually hear his voice in my head saying it right now as I'm thinking about this and it would appear that I mimic the way he does it.

here's an example of when this phrase might be uttered:
"Ever since Bono was gunned down in a West Hollywood brothel, I've been feeling an unusual sense of well-being.""Wait-- Bono's dead? When did this happen?""Hm... I wanna say, like, 2 weeks ago...?"
― Poliopolice, Thursday, 17 January 2013 23:08 (eleven years ago) link
oh, ok! in terms of estimation! that makes total sense. I was reading it like "I have something that I really want to say."

I wanna say that he died two weeks ago, but I lack the precise information or specific expertise required to guarantee that number.

automagically is a perfectly presentable word, if it is being used by Billy in Family Circle.

"obviously" peppered liberally into sentences where nothing described is at all obvious. A weird twist on this: I encountered a guy who has changed it up to "ironically" - he kept saying "ironically" about twice per sentence and there was no irony whatsoever! I mean maybe THAT'S ironical idk

doesn't the word "earthquake" seem a little cartoonish or dramatic

most earthquakes are a bit cartoonish, in that all you feel is a bit of a shiver. the big ones are, of course, not so cartoonish
