What is the term for using words such as it, stuff, and things too much when writing or speaking?

Answer 1

My debate teacher calls them fillers, or vague words. She refers to them as mundane and not specific enough. I guess you could refer to them as vague and unspecific.

Answer 2

Monotony? Weak? Shallow? Poor use of vocabulary? Lack of colorful words, adjectives, adverbs, noun? Lacking in creativity? Uninteresting?  

Answer 3

inexactitude, inaccuracy, lack of specificity, amorphous slang usage

Answer 4

Crappy Writing. Slang. Un-descriptive. Generalizations. The possibilities are endless....
