"Your" Words?

[Prussian to the Iron]

I also have a nearly uncontrollable urge to say inappropriate things at times. For example, when writing a script for corporation X, I was instructed to emphasize everything as family-oriented. I felt the familiar tickle in my brain-stem, and couldn't resist saying, "So you want it really gay? How gay are we talking about, here?" Which is almost as bad as when I walked into a meeting of a bunch of web-wonks who were looking very serious and concerned, and shouted, "What up, *******?" (PM me if you really need to know the word. It got a good laugh, though.)

I usually get away with my inappropriate outbursts, if only 'cause they make people laugh. If there's no laugh, I am in deep trouble.

who'da thought!

sometimes if someone asks a question, I'll just answer "Penis!". I'm getting a little too used to it though; yesterday I accidentally said it right in front of my littl ebrother and sister, so I quickly made it into "Penis..rocafatocratic!". Close call

Whilst writing, I use one kind of punctuation too much; semi-colons.

I as well. My English teacher must hate semi-colons by now.

They sound to me in my head like dotted crotchet rests, like in music, in between commas and full stops :3 (With the latter two obviously being quaver and minim rests, obviously)

[Monk]

I as well. My English teacher must hate semi-colons by now.

I used to do that a lot too. Now that I've gotten a bit better at punctuation, however, I cannot stand semi-colons. I'd sooner rip them out of all literature and purge their existence if I could.

NOOO

They make writing jazzy

My hate for them is purely based on the errors they cause, mind you. So few people actually understand how to use them correctly that I'd rather they not use them at all.

[ajaxfetish]

Without semi-colons, how would you join a list of elements with internal commas? It'd be chaos I tell you! Chaos!

Ajax

[SwordsMaster]

I subconsciously copy the accents of people I spend a long time talking to...

Also I tend to be very creative when describing things I don't like. Instead of saying: 'This laptop is c**p!'
I would say: 'This vile piece of technology is as horrendous as Borat's speedo.' for example.

So when do you use them then?

[Monk]

So when do you use them then?

Between two main clauses separated by a transitional phrase, or in a listing of elements that contain internal commas as ajax has pointed out.

Those are the only situations in which a semicolon is grammatically correct.

I do this when talking to kiwi's, only it's not so subconscious and I ask them to say "fish and chips" and "six" because I know how much that annoys them.

That always reminds me of this clip from the Chaser.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I must confess, I say "male gyration" WAYYYY too often.

I can't even think of an appropriate context to say that in.

Oh I can relate, I simply can't help making jokes it's stronger than me and I really need to bite my tongue at times. I will always be as mischievous as I can possibly get away with and I sometimes cross the line.

edit: had to make something for my religion teacher (santaclauslike thingie), made a stigmata-kit

I tend to refer to my friends (or all of humanity, depending on my mood) as "mortals". Generalisation about a group you are part of for the absolute win. Then, I've managed to sometimes adopt a manner of speaking similar to that used by TotalBiscuit - "No, I shall not!" and "Are you joking?" quite certainly originating from excessive listening. It has another interesting side effect - a large amount of emphasis on the last word of a sentence, and sentence structure to support it, where convenient.

Oh, "awesome" and "awful" are another two words I use rather often indeed. But hey, they're awesome, so it's fine.

[Snite]

I constantly make references to female body parts in entirely inappropiate ways. When faced with something shocking and/or frustrating I will blaspheme in ways that have had my soldiers balk and some request that I never say such things again, so I just make sure they're not around. I use the same ones over and over again so they're my signatures, but posting them would get my post deleted and a pm from Lemur.

To add to the Texasisms: 'might could', 'maybe definitely' are the only ones off the top of my head.

[Centurion1]

oh god i have so many...........

i say dude wayyyyy to much, as well as bro

And i was always the kid who could imitate voice patterns realyyyyy well. for example among my many quirks.

1. when around my black friends i usually imitate the way the speak unoticeably. I say things like dawg and son, and yo, etc. Never ****** though.

2. I often drop into a southern twang. once when my dads friend from georgia came to visit he thought i was insulting him because i sounded to southern. No specific words just my tone. I also pray and do the pledge of allegiance like a dixie boy.

3. This one is sort of strange..... i say aye and yah know at the end of my sentences like i was canadian. This one really annoys my parents.

4. I speak in a british accent when im talking to really stupid people.

5. And finally whenever im near my grandmother or other russian speakers i drop into like a strange russian accent laced with russian words. like for example i say da and nyet instead of yes and no.



i have alottttttt more strange things but these are some of the major ones.

I like to say words in German occasionally in my conversations. I'll just be talking to someone, and it will go like this:

"So did you see that new movie?"
"Nein."
"What?"
"Nein."
"Ummm.......ok?"
"It means 'No'."
"Oooooh!!!! Bye!"
"Gut Nacht."
"Wait, what?"
*Facepalm*

[miotas]

Wait, you have a problem with people dropping a bit of another language in their posts here everynow and then, yet... You do it in real life, and you facepalm when they act weird about it?

[pevergreen]

Hes a confused boy.

Imagine him as SFTS before the manliness, and sucess.

its different. i dont have entire posts in different languages for no apparent reason. I drop an occasional word here and there. not sentences.

besides this isnt the thread to discuss old-ass arguments in.

[pevergreen]

Здравствулте! PI, вы довольно интересны. В плохом пути. Я зеленый цвет.

Yeh. I sometimes do similar things. I'll randomly reply in German or Spanish to someone who can't speak either. Acquaintances get baffled.

[Veho Nex]

Здравствулте! PI, вы довольно интересны. В плохом пути. Я зеленый цвет.

That had me rolling on the ground yet I have no idea what it says

[A Very Super Market]

Bah, only those weak in the world of speaking resort to other languages for diversity. I flip around with accents quite a bit, and try to create as much discordance as possible whenever I do so. I've done formal readings in a broad Australian accent, songs in incomprehensible slavic basso, and yelled at people in an aristocratic drawl.

[Samurai Waki]

I occasionally use the British Accent when I try to say something snarky, attempting to be snarky with an American accent just makes you sound like a pretentious douche.

[A Very Super Market]

You lose, good day sir!

Well, it's a broad one. It has to be bad to be good.
