Because we'll eventually need something else to talk about today, I give you the Top Six Words or Phrases that Immediately Out You as a Lawyer or Former Lawyer if Used in Normal Conversation.*
[list=1][*]"accordingly"[*]"moreover"[*]"indicated" (when used in place of "said" or "meant")[*]"inapposite"[*]"document" (when applied to any individual piece of paper)[*]"dispositive"[/list=1]
*Excluding the obvious ones that can only ever be used in a legal context, like "fact pattern" and "inter alia."

You forgot "substantive."
