obviously

maddening cliché, adverb

1. A word overused in the wrong way by ignorant British speakers who mean ‘of course’ but for some reason will not use that perfectly adequate phrase.

2. Used as a filler word to hold the floor in a conversation, the ignorant, British speaker believing that ‘obviously’ sounds intellectual, unlike ‘er, um’.

3. In an obvious manner, overtly.

4. A word used to excuse the speaker for stating something which is openly apparent to the listener.
1. Shane: “So I was in the darkroom all alone, right? And obviously, my daughter having secretly swapped the chemicals for some other ones, the fumes obviously sent me to sleep. Obviously, I didn’t wake up until the meteorite burst through the ceiling.”
Cedric: “Obvious to whom? You are an oaf, Shane.”

2. “Well, Gary … we’re going to go out there and play some football today and, er, hopefully, come away with a result …obviously… cuz… well, that’s what football’s about, at the end of the day – obviously – the results speak for themselves and basically, it’s all about the silverware on the sideboard at the end of the season so we’re going to try to score some goals and …obviously…”

3. “Dicky was coming on to Harriet so obviously that we all covered our faces and groaned with embarrassment.”

4. “It was at that point, officer that he stabbed me. Sorry about the blood all over your shoes. My shirt is ruined, obviously. Do you think I could claim for that on my insurance?”

Obviously Blind

An adjective describing someone who, it is plain to see, can't see. Sometimes hard to distinguish between this, and a moron

Note: Sometimes confused with blindingly obvious
*Thud*

Foolish Guy: "Hey, why does that guy keep walking into walls?"

Cool, wise guy: "Well he's obviously blind... Well, that or he's just a moron"

tocn - totally oblivious computer nerd

A person who spends most of their pathetic life on the computer, spamming aimlessly on MSN, AIM, ICQ or some other chat program. They spend hours on end on it. But then when a simple task comes up like running a program, they have to ask you like a babbling idiot until you help them.
Even then they still seem to ask what you do even if you can't make it any clearer and you would have better luck explaining it to a deaf dog with herpes.
Ohemmeffgee help me ( name ) do I run or save this program???
