Where did I pick up all this? One time in high school I thought it would be funny to pronounce scissors "skissors," and it stuck until I asked someone at the office to pass me the "skissors." Yeah. Probably a sign that I should limit my purposely-bad English use.
Iris and I know a serbian guy that has the awesomest accent ever... we imitate his accent and lingo ALL the time. Hint: "Penis" is a verb.
ReplyDeleteyou get it :)
ReplyDeleteYikes! I do this all the time hah... its a constant between my mate and I to be silly and pronounce things wrong. Though I am pretty sure when we do it out in public people think we are ridiculous. But we are, so I guess that's OK.
ReplyDeleteYou too, eh! Awesome. I'm blaming it all on ICHC!
DeleteKimio and I do this all the time. And we totally understand what the other person is saying...and our parents think we're retarded.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay, they love us anyway. Kind of. Right?
DeleteTumblr has done that to me. I mean, when I read an awesome book and I say "all the feels", people generally fail to understand that I meant to say it wrong. It happens in Portuguese, too, people outside internet don't understand that I say things wrong on purpose.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah the outside internet people. At a work thing the other day I found out one of our prospects is called Spartacus with his given name (how awesome is that???) So I said to my colleage that I wonder if he ever picked up the phone with "This is Sparta!". Got me a round of blank stares.
DeleteWait, wait, what's "all the feels"? I've actually never really used/commented on Tumblr so I'm behind on all this lingo! Waah!
DeleteOh yeah. And I literal lol'd at "This is Sparta!" HAHAHAA. Brilliant name.
Yup, I do that too. My girlfriend and I use english a lot of the time, and most of the time badly from my part. And it has become so natural, that when I have to speak purely Norwegian, I regularly get stumped and have to stop to look for words... It's a little different I guess, but hopefully not entirely off topic.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm somewhat of a fanatic for correct spelling and grammar, but I still find purposely bad English very amusing! I learned it off the internets! :)
Is your girlfriend Norwegian too, or is she from somewhere else? G has been picking up my bad habits, so I think I really have to watch it. But yes. I'm blaming it all on the internets!
DeleteOh, she's Norwegian too :) Sorry if it was confusing. Switching rapidly and often between English and Norwegian is just a habit of ours… Maybe it's influenced by English/American entertainment, or our experience as exchange students… I don't know :)
Deletehas you got money - I see you is turning Welsh alright.
ReplyDeleteIs that Welsh!?! I thought it was Cheezburgerish.
DeleteCheezburgerish and Welsh have a lot of touch points. I knows it. Wtch Gavin and Stacey for reference.
DeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *rolls over floor* XD
