Does that happen to you?

All the time! A couple expressions I picked up from friends include "sugarfoot!" and "doesn't that melt my little pea-pickin' heart!" When I met my ex-boyfriend Bill, my favorite expression was "doggone it!" but he always said, "dad gummit!" and by the time we were done with each other, I was saying "dagnabbit!" We used to round and round with those ones all the time. Another one I picked up and use to this day is to tell someone, "Well, see how you are?" This is like giving them permission to differ from me in opinion or how they do things. Very few in my inner circle know, however, how to complete that statement. The proper response for the most fun is, "That's the way I am. Deal with it!" On a road trip one time my daughter started trying to bug me by saying, "You're so lovelable and cuddleable and I just love you!" But I turned it back on her and instead of getting annoyed as she expected me to, I just joined in the fun. I'm such a mean mom!

Yes it happens to me. It happens to everyone actually. It just rubs off and becomes normal. Its like when you leave NYC and visit another state, to us people talk funny, but if we were around them long enough we would start talking like them. I don't totally understand it, but it does happen.

I had a co-worker that used to say "lucky pup" instead of "lucky dog" and I still use that. The recent former roommate would say "honey-bunny" and I've picked that up to.

Im guilty with this . When I hear some new expression that sound good to my ears I would imitate it, actually i do it involuntarily. Maybe it was stored to my subconscious mind then when a moment comes that I can use that statement I say it. Actually words not just from friends or family but also lines from movies. I have this favorite line I got from a movie uh I cant remember the title but it was starred by Salma hayek and Pierce Brosnan where Pirce Brosnan's character said when he answered a phone call " State your business". Since then i use it instead of saying hello when answering my mobile if the caller is my husband or close friends or relative.. Its something funny start up for a casual talk..

Oh yes, I never cuss, but my vocabulary becomes extra "colorful" after meeting my husband. So whenever I'm mad and he hears me cuss, he will stop me and he will apologize because he taught me that haha! But I do watch what I say when my kid siblings are around. I only slip when it's just me and the hub.
