Quirks you pick up from fiction

[FinalGamer]

Found this idea of a topic on 4chan a while back, so I thought why not ask here?

Have you ever picked up any odd quirks from fiction? Books, games, cartoons, films, TV, anything? I got a few of mine.

Since Inglorious Bastards a while back, I have the tendency to say "That´s a beeeengo!" when something works.
When doing taekwondo or anything physical, I try to make the same grunts of certain fighting game characters (particularly Kazuya Mishima´s "eeyai!" for some reason).
Since watching TheSpoonyExperiment me and my friend like to quote "You´re in my way sir" whenever we´re blocking the other, as well as quote pretty much half the stuff from PHANTASMAGORIAAA A PUZZLE OF THE FLESH!

So, what about you guys?

After reading Ender's Game I end more of my question sentences with ', neh?'

After reading A Cruel Wind: A chronicle of the Dread Empire, by Glen Cook I started using the phrase 'methinks' a lot more often (see: at all)

 

[Legion]

I am sure I must have gotten my excessive use of the word "indeed" from somewhere, but I cannot recall where from.

 

[BlindTom]

I started wearing eyeliner after Harry Potter.

 

[De Ronneman]

Whenever someone asks me "What's up?" I respond: "Up is an utterly meaningless term. It has no intrinsic value."

Whoever guesses where that's from gets a cookie.

After playing Disgaea 2 I sometimes like to say 'Zam' after my sentences.

Same thing for Perfect Dark and saying 'Ashooom' instead of assume.

I really need to take a break form those games.

I've picked up a few choice phrases from Dr Thompson's books. And since I read Watchmen, whenever I doodle, Rorscachs logo normally gets scribbled down somewhere.

Oh, Zam... I loved the prinnies too much to take a major liking to that, dood.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

I say Gorram and Shiny from firefly and Smeg from Red Dwarf.

 

[lizzielizzie]

Heh... too many to fully mention. "Frak" from BSG, "humped" and "shiny" from Firefly, "CHAERG!" from Yahtzee (indicating a poorly-planned leap forward either in a game or in real life), and of course numerous film quotes and Monty Python references. I AM a huge geek, after all.

Probably the worst of my verbal afflictions is what the works of Joss Whedon have done to my speech syntax. (See http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BuffySpeak ) I'm guilty of 'the use of definite articles with object nouns that do not normally take them', and my adjective-noun structures have been compromised. As a writer and former communication major, this pains me to no end.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

Does trying to move things with the force count? Or trying to use spells from Harry Potter? Because I do that alot.
Otherwise, it's mainly just cursing which I picked up from The Dresden Files, saying 'Hells bells' now instead of swearing.

 

[Sosa Star]

A friend used to say 'Oro" all the time, she got it from some anime, and I kinda picked it up from her

Not quite fantasy, but I have said "BRB Bio" to coworkers before running off to the little girl's room. MMO's take over my life sometimes

 

[hittite]

I say "bugger" every now and then. No points for guessing where that comes from.

Reading Richard Laymon has made me a better lover. He often writes from female perspective and it's made me give more consideration towards what happens when you touch girls certain places and certain ways, aside from the obvious ones.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Hmmm...
Thinking about it, not a Fething thing.
I'd have to be an absolute Gak to let my books affect me in any fething way.
[small]Although I do Haaauuuuuuuu~ sometimes...[/small]
If you did not get it and took offence, I was making fun of myself. 'Feth' and 'Gak' are words from the Gaunt's Ghosts books by Dan Abnett.

 

[erto101]

Most used is probaly "Arh! Crivens" from Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men which was sooooo awesome!
also when i'm around my best mate we tend to shoot quotes from all manner of games at each other which then must be guessed xD (game and character)

Smeghead...
