Clutter in a speech includes repetition of fillers such as "ah," "um," "you know," "like," "basically," or "exactly" and reduces speaker credibility. Using excessive jargon can also be considered clutter and confusing for those not familiar with the specific terminology. While jargon may be appropriate in certain research presentations, it is important to define and explain any unfamiliar terms for the audience.
