evitar las muletillas
Explanation:
Son voces o palabras que se repiten mucho por hábito.

"La fluidez en el lenguaje es algo muy preciado a la hora de comunicar con seriedad y vehemencia. En este sentido, puede ser muy útil entrenarse en este aspecto, con un grabadora, escuchando que tan fluidos podemos ser, y que tanto utilizamos palabras de relleno o “muletillas” (mmm, es que, etc.")
