Chelsea Handler expressed her appreciation for precise language use and her dislike for certain verbal crutches. She specifically cited "anyways" as a lazy way of speaking. Handler also noted that Scott Galloway sometimes uses the word "mendacious" incorrectly, though she is more forgiving of that than the use of non-existent words.
“I find that to be a problem, like problematic. I find it to be a lazy way of speaking.”
“Any ways is just so lazy. You don't even need to say any ways. You just move on to the next topic.”
“Mendacious? He doesn't use it correctly. He doesn't use it correctly. It's a great word.”
