Didn't know where else to ask ...

In Germany there is a funny book about an author (written by that author) and an anarchistic kangaroo called "Die Känguruh-Chroniken". (If you understand German I highly recommend the first two and perhaps a halve books.) In this book appears a tourist girl, an air-head, which talks a lot without saying anything, you know, and that is totally amazing! One word which she really says often is "amazing". Last week I met in London a French girl living for a few years in London and the word "amazing" was really noticeable.

Now my question is: Where does this style of talking come from? Who is talking like that? Is it really a known style or is it just that famous for readers of this book?

If you could help me here, you know, that would be so amazing!

I hate the word "amazing". It's the most overly-used adjective. That goes with "the narrative", "at the end of the day", and "through the lens..."

.....'in broad daylight', 'like', 'rushed' (ie 'the ambulance rushed the injured away', 'the cops rushed to the scene'), etc

Like, you know?

It seems there are a lot of trend phrases which I do not know about. Awesome!

Btw. one word I hate is: "signature" as it is used e.g. on menus to suggest that the restaurant is famous for a steak or burger.

.......or in sports-------A homerun with his 'signature' swing.

"Going forward"

The only good use of the word "Amazing" is the one towards the end of this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyXJfUPSQhM

And fucking...."what not"

Guys, could you please give also sample usages? I am not familiar with most of these phrases.

I can't even
