Есть ли в английском аналог фразы "это самое…" употребляемой просто как заполнитель паузы, желательно как можно более близкий к оригинальным словам?
примеры:
Это самое…, Алён, рискуя больше тебя не увидеть в отражении весов, всё же сообщаю тебе, что ты в них отражаешься…
Алён, это самое, у тебя пупок развязался.
Алён, это самое…, когда ешь, если выпрямить ногу больше влезет.

In the context of parasite word frequency rating, the word "like" is considered a high-ranking parasite word. It is often used as a filler or hesitation word in speech, commonly known as a discourse marker. Due to its frequent and sometimes unnecessary usage, it has been categorized as a parasite word in linguistic analysis.

Boris Shapiro
: Although it most certainly is the no.1 parasite word out there, I believe it is. properly speaking, a discourse marker. While "это самое" is functionally more of a gap filler, buying time to form the rest of the sentence. Like 'Ummm', 'you know' etc.

Listening so some speakers of Andrew Tate's or Miron's sessions I would say that they use "like" exactly like a gap filler, when they don't know exactly what to say. Besides, it says in my original post: "It is often used as a filler or hesitation word."

um/you know
um, you know, how to say
In most cases, in Russian it is used to express hesitation as if they are trying to remember something.
How to say? What do you call it? What is it (that is on the tip of one's tongue)
