Why doesn't anyone ELSE say that?

[Andalusa]

Still, even to get it roughly correct is better than most.

Most people don't talk like that because they're not as strange as me.
I don't even know where I picked the habit up.
[small]I could make a really bad joke here but I won't.[/small]
I think I've read too many books where such language is used.

I use so many random and almost made up words I think I actually have my own dialect.

Harsh Max... Harsh... Was that because I stabbed out your eye earlier?

Probably.

And he's wrong, because I listened to you, and so did he.

 

[Wadders]

Examples?

Forsooth is a personal favorite of mine as far as archaic words are concerned.

I have a hard time remembering a lot of the better ones when pressed, for whatever reason.
But, for example, "slattern," which was popular around 1639, according to www.merriam-webster.com
There are a bunch more that are slightly more recent, though.

1639 hmm? That's pretty damn precise

Good word though, I'll have to try to get it into conversation sometime, at the risk of being stared at :S

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

I've started using 'righteous' again.

 

[Andalusa]

Bad jokes are good.
Ignore how contradictory that is.

If I was going to ignore contradictions I should probably ignore you then.

 

[Lexodus]

Archaisms are fun! I love finding sesquipadalianisms (obscure words) from the Phrontistery (www.phrontistery.info) and slipping them into everyday conversations, sometimes because they are fun words, other times for the sheer look of terror on their faces.

 

[Lexodus]

I didn't know "ergo" was old...

It's Latin. Of course it's old.

Hey, how would you like to meet your maker fifty years ahead of schedule?

Already met them, thanks. They're really nice people.They're my parents.

 

[EeveeElectro]

'Acky' meaning dirty. That word pisses me off, but I say it. It just irratates me =/ if it was a person, I'd punch it out.
'At the end of the day...'
'I turned round and said...'
Thanks to my family for using them.

Thanks to my friends taking the piss out of chavs, I say 'STRAIGHT BAD!' or 'nice one blud!' when something goes right. XD
I say jest and slander too, but my friends do't know what it means :/

That's what the site said!
Don't look at me.

Anyway, it means whore.
So I end up using it a lot.
Unfortunately.

Unfortunate indeed.

According to that site it can also mean to "hang loosely" which is kind of applicable to whores I guess...

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

I've also been told, that using the words "pal", "jive", "scoundrel", "dame", and "broad" is something normal people don't do, and have even been told that I'm going to hell for telling someone not to look a gift horse in the mouth

Lolololwuuuuut?! Seriously, why?

I say "tomfoolery" or just plain "foolery" a lot.

 

[Andalusa]

Well, you haven't decided to do so yet, so I think I'm safe.

... for now.
I could always tell my bad joke and you'd disappear in a cloud of smoke.

 

[Hazy]

I use old-fashioned words.
Very, very old-fashioned words.

Like popular-in-the-1600s-old.

Sometimes.
But never slang. I try to avoid slang, excluding "dude."

How jive was that Ben Franklin speech last night dude?
Ok you have me, I know next to no 1600's lingo.

Aggghhhh I scrub and I scrub but the steel wool can't cleanse my sullied eyes!

I am sorry.

 

[Andalusa]

Right because I'm the kind of dude who takes offense at bad jokes, right?
Depending on how you mean "bad," naturally.

But I once heard a pun and didn't claw my ears off.
So I am pretty resistant to awful jokes that are awful in the sucking sense.

No, not bad as in offensive, bad as in the kind people inwardly cringe at.
I'm not going to put it, the time has passed and it won't make much sense now.
