One of my Spanish teachers reminded me that I hadn’t written my muletillas post yet. Here it is.
What is a muletilla?
Palabra o expresi贸n que se repite o intercala en el discurso con excesiva frecuencia, como si se tratara de un tic de la persona que habla o escribe.

It seems to have several possible translations:
- pet word
- pet phrase
- catch phrase
- filler word
- transition word
How did I stumble upon this topic?
