    I also use silly '60s '70s slang whenever things get too serious. So "Far out" is a big part of my vocabulary. Oh, and I also swear like an irate sailor.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    I got called out for overusing "involuted" and "visceral." Now I almost never say or write them. I guess I'm scarred.

    I use "plethora", usually prefaced with "veritable". That, and

    "Trippin' Ballz"
    "The fu..."(Note I never actually finish the word)
    "10-4"
    "And your point is?"

    Thats it off the top of my head. I'v been called out for a few more but none that I can remember off hand.

    Montana has slowly been corrupting my speech patterns... I used to be quite heavy with the Colorado speech patterns saying such words as "Ya know?" after virtually sentence, or "wut up?" as a greeting. Then when I moved out here, I started getting called on it; people would say "No. I don't know." or "uhh... the sky?"

    Although when traveling outside of Montana I catch myself saying commonly said words not heard outside of Montana such as "Cool Bean!" which is a guess a corruption of "Right you are, old bean!" or things you might not hear at all in most of the US such as ending my sentences with "eh?" Must be our close proximity to British Columbia/Alberta. In eastern Montana they have an entirely different accent.. getting it mostly from the Dakotas and Saskatchewan.

    Australians ask questions that don't need answering.

    I use the word "seedy" often, along with "that's brilliant" and "bollox".
