Your Definition
A word or short phrase used as a verbal crutch when speaking, like "um", "uh", "er", "like", "y'know", etc. They also allow one to pause to consider one's next words without breaking the flow of a delivery. Word whiskers are a nearly universal [phenomenon] in extemporaneous speech. [Because they can] convey uncertainty, create verbal clutter, and can cloud meaning, eliminating word whiskers is a common element of training for [public speaking]. Word whiskers are synonymous with "filler words".
