* In ''OfficeSpace'' there's Bill Lumburgh, Peter's hated boss, who begins every line in the movie with a long droning "yyyyeeeah", and ends every sentence with a patronizing "mmmkay"?
** Also, prefacing verbs with "go ahead and," sometimes multiple times in a sentence.
** Don't forget that every time he addresses somebody (especially Peter) he always ask "whats happening."

* In ''OfficeSpace'' there's Bill Lumburgh, Peter's hated boss, who litters his speech with smarmy verval tics. He begins every line in the movie conversaion with a long droning "yyyyeeeah", shallow, "What's happening?" He always tells workers to "go ahead" and ends every sentence do things, to mask the fact that he's handing down disagreeable orders. After delivering an order, he tells the person, "That'd be great," as a threadbare attempt at encouragement. He also punctuates many sentences with a drawn-out "yeeeeaahhhh" or patronizing "mmmkay"?

* Some Californians, particularly those in the San Francisco Bay Area, use "dude" as both an expression of joy/anger/exasperation/WTF and an informal address between friends. There is heavy reliance on intonation for the exact meaning, and that makes it ''insanely'' hard to explain in text, dude. It's interchangeable with "man" for the most part, although the former is between peers while the latter is mostly used when talking with/to an older person.

*** In the Japanese version of the [[{{Ptitlemo68jh26}} ninth movie]], Haruka's verbal tic became plot important when it was picked up by Manaphy. The dub simply had it pick up the word "happy" instead.



*** Of course, it took a while for them to settle into the consistent translation. For her first 20 or so episodes, it varied between alternate wordings or simply being ignored.



* The RobotBuddy Giru in ''{{Dragonball}} GT'' often repeated his own name.
