Until you used wicked incorrectly in your example, I thought maybe you’d gotten our wicked…Eh? has crept across the boarder, you know. Poor NH/ME folks are forced to use it at the end of sentences instead of “huh?”. It would have been wicked neat if you got one of our words, but alas, you got the 80s wicked instead.
I’m trying to stop saying Jesus Christ and God Dammit so much. (and “JesusGod!” as reading too many John Irving’s books lead me to say). Not so much because of religious reasons, as the fact that they’re not that creative.
Kyle’s mom from South Park?
And as for “man”, RindaRinda…we used to make a rule when playing quarters that whoever said it had to drink. I’d be schnockered in no time. (Though I still maintain that I should not have had to drink the time I identified the woman on TV as Melissa Manchester.)
I can do you one better. I say “No prob”. See? I can’t even be assed to finished the fucking word! What’s worse that saying “No prob”? Sending it via email.
I also overuse the word so.
“That is SO not going to happen.”
“Dude, you are SO not getting laid!”
“I am SO there!”
Help me.
At least I stopped saying “No prob, Bob” and “Okey dokey, Smokey”.
Lordy or even better LordyLordy. I dont’ know where I picked this up; I only started saying it a few years ago. Makes me sound like an old church going Southern lady.
Other words:
keen I sound like a fifties teenager. bizarro particularly annoys my brother. su-PAH a bizarro homage to a somethat obscure British sitcom (the Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin) that no one else ever gets so they just think I’m a freak.
For example -
“Have you seen my purple top? I can’t find it.”
“I’m not sure. It’s kicking about here somewhere.”
I picked this up off my friend when we went to Egypt together. That was over a year ago and I’m STILL saying it.
