"Words, Words, Words"

"Words, Words, Words" is a phrase often used to highlight the idea that language can sometimes be excessive, repetitive, or meaningless. It originated from a scene in Samuel Beckett’s play "Waiting for Godot," where one character dismissively refers to his own speech as mere words. The phrase underscores the distinction between speaking and meaningful communication—sometimes talking can be just an endless stream of words without substance. It invites reflection on the value of language and whether words serve genuine understanding or merely fill silence.
