Your mastery of esoteric vocabulary certainly marks you. And hasn’t grep always been a verb?

Keep your stick on the ice.

Roll a 20-sider, you AD&D player, you.

For my entry:

Yeah, the baby is gonna blade to put me over in a squash. The office doesn’t really like color on TV, so keep kay-fay on that one.

Does it call out 52 214 16?

What are the flowdowns?

Me: We’ll have to go FFP. Them: Oh man, I’ll be writing this SOW all weekend!

You like Johnny Cash.

Another one that’s more in the response than the question: if you ask someone if they smoke and they answer with the clarifying “cigarettes?”, well then you have an inkling they’re a friend of Herb’s. Not an intentional tell or slang, but telling nonetheless.

You’ve worked Ren Faire.

Took the hero line, made the boof but missed the eddy. Windowshaded in a pour-over and had to bail. Total yard sale.

  2. 4 to 5? At 216? With these runs?

  3. Set!

You might be a member of this group if you can measure 5 yards perfectly, but you always take 8 steps to do so; unconsciously walk in step with others in your group; and are a high schooler who thinks of the sexual meanings second when hearing the words fingering or tonguing. Also if you don’t know what a free Saturday in fall is like, and always carry an extra pair of black socks, just in case.

Don’t aggro those mobs.
