I don't know if that counts for people that play games, since we really don't have many words that would translate well with video or computer.aDuck said:Ive got one:
Game.
No, I can quit whenever I want.
I find I'm drawn to words based primarily on aesthetics, I think. Portcullis is one that I'm "addicted" to, but can't really work into casual conversation that well. There are several I use in speech, but the minute I read this thread, I forgot them.

I actually dislike it when people use "Right" that way. Yes, I used to use it in the past in arguments with my mom, but it didn't work, because she didn't get that I was being sarcastic, even when I said it in a sarcastic way.s0m3th1ng said:
I have the habit of when I do say "Indeed," I insert the person's name. Or possibly just "O'Neill." If the latter, it confuses most people.Sonic Doctor said:

I was addicted to pretentious for awhile, but then I realized it was pretentious to say pretentious so I stopped... That makes even less sense in retrospect than it did while I was trying to think of something clever to say.
"What? Why did you call me O'Neill? My name is Tom." Then they start telling people you are crazy.Zachary Amaranth said:
But yes, that is cool, I need to start doing that to people.
Before I discovered Doctor Who, I was all Stargate, all the time.

Oh no! I have reminded you of it. Now you will curse my name across the stars.Ephraim J. Witchwood said:
I have definitely had periods where I repeatedly blurt out random words with no context.
There were a few of them, but it always seems to come back to 'potato' more so than anything else.

I used to do that a lot. Now I just do it when I am alone.CrystalShadow said:
More made up words than real ones. I can't think of any at the moment, because it is only when I am not thinking about them that they come out. I sometimes chant in nonsense when I am alone, it is actually a basis of the new language I am creating for a fantasy book I am writing. My creative writing professor said it sounds like Gaelic, but I have never seen or read Gaelic in my life.
When I was younger, I annoyed the hell out of my parents because I didn't want to say fuck, I would always say, "What the F!"RUINER ACTUAL said:
I started saying that a lot when I got into Doctor Who, and then started tons of BBC programs.Dana22 said:
Hmmm, it's the second time that has been mention in the thread. Know I have to go find out where it originates from, because I don't know.Murriness said:
