You know, I used to say "you know" a lot. Know what I mean? Then I had a job that involved plenty of public speaking. What I found is that in public speaking, the slower you speak the better. I also found that silent pauses make you actually seem smarter and more confident. "Ummmm's" and "you know"'s have the opposite effect.

I think that smiling or chuckling aloud during speeches makes people sound intelligent.
