Sorkinisms

We all have verbal tics, phrases we use habitually, usually without being conscious of them. They can become a problem for a writer or a public speaker, when those repetitive expressions mount up and begin to irritate an audience.

Here's a compilation taken from material written by Aaron Sorkin, including Malice, A Few Good Men, Bulworth, Sports Night, The West Wing, Studio 60, Charlie Wilson's War, The Social Network, and Tom Hanks 1993 Oscar Speech. 

It was edited by Kevin Porter (@KevinTPorter), as a tribute to the work of Aaron Sorkin. He says the recycled dialogue, recurring phrases, and familiar plot lines weren't intended as "a critique but rather a playful excursion through Sorkin's wonderful world of words."

Nonetheless, this should serve as a caution to writers everywhere.
