    I occasionally put 'etc.' at the end of my sentences; usually to denote sarcasm.
    "sup my homies, yo, etc."

    I also treat '/' as an actual word.
    "I'm tired and slash or bored"


    [EDIT] I was at the video store one day and these two guys were spelling the words in their conversation.
    "Aye Doubleuwe Ay En Tee Es Oh Em Ei Ef Oh Oh De" "Es Ay Em Ei El Ei Tee Es Ge Oh"
    It was the wierdest and coolest thing ever.

    "Nyah" has become my new favorite "word". "Nyah" can indicate happiness, disgust, anger, etc. It's like you're saying a full sentence with only a noise.

    I absolutely refuse to ever even THINK of saying nyah. In fact using anime terms in real life sends me vivid and disturbing images of people doing so at conventions.

    I think Nil IQ is winning by the way.

    One day about 5 years ago or so, my aunt and uncle came over, this was a short time after they got married, and we were going to have some empanadas. Well, she asked if the epañeros were here yet, and we've called them that ever since.

    I didn't know it was a real term. One day I just said 'nyah' and it stuck as part of my vocabulary.

    It's supposed to be the sound a cat makes. But the only time I've ever heard a cat make a sound like that was when I saw one get run over and heard it's lungs decompress.

    I say "Goreg" when meaning gorge.

    Some of the testers said it as "gorg" since a while ago the scoreboard would cut the "E" off of gorge. I guess that spread alot since i see alot of people saying gorg.

    One of my favorites is referring to Sam's as Sam's coleslaw. No real reason, got it from my parents, and I don't know where they got it from.

    Do I have to answer this Hicks? You're probably the only person who does most of the stuff you do, including creating Colemanian Global and daring to name me as a stockholder.

    Besides Forwar sounds weak anyway. Get something cooler for your signature speaking style, noob.

    Instead of "sh*t," I'll use "[la] caca," or "[pinche] mierda."

    I think I win though... I used to call Santa Claus, "Jim-Bongo." My mom has NO clue where the hell I got it from, I can't remember saying it. I said this when I was very little and it makes no ****ing sense.

    Every once in a while I'll pronounce something how it's spelled rather then properly... so knife becomes "ka-nife-eh" or people becomes "pee-oap-pole-ie"

    My friend taught me to speak in Russian, so instead of telling the person <i>where to go and how to get there</i>, I tell them, "Pash-olta Suka".

    I keep calling things machines even when they are clearly not even the same concept. For example, when confused about a form I have to fill out:

    "How do you operate this machine?"

    Yeah, it's strange.

    Heh. It's not that much of a stretch to keep mixing up calling the dishwasher the "washing machine" (after all, they're both machines that wash stuff), and for some reason Mum kept accidentally saying "washing machine" when she meant "answering machine" - only one word difference.
