About This Quote
Analiza said: "V had a passing thought that she used the word 'anyway' like an eraser on a crowded chalkboard. She said it whenever she needed to clear off the things she'd just shared to make room for more." "Anyways," is a general and repetitive phrase that can be used to transition from one idea to another. It's easy to understand how an eraser would be used in this context because it comes with a similar function of erasing something, while also being a frequently repeated word. In this quote, Analiza uses "anyways" in a different way, however, by using the phrase as a filler for information. She keeps her meaning clear but her meaning is lost within the repetition of "anyway."
