Catchphrases you've accidentally developed

Calling someone who just said or did something particularly stupid "jenius".

"QUALITY" for anything So Bad, It's Good

For some reason I find myself saying "Awesome possum" instead of "Okay" a lot of the time.

I have a habit of adopting expressions from fictional in-universe (most often alien) languages into my vocabulary.

I've used the swearword "bosh'tet" consistently in my speech for the last four years. The most recent new addition in my vocabulary would be "vrepit sa" used with the meaning of "acknowledged".

I developed "more or less" as a Verbal Tic, more or less (as it's is very minor), because I like non-binary thoughts.

Then I figured out it didn't take... or tick for that matter, so I abandoned it... then I accidentally started using it more and more and not less -_-'

• Smacks table*

I tend to say "hahu" (VERY distorted version of "salut", or "hi" for you english-speaking people) while waving when I have to greet my close family.

Also, whenever I hear something that's making me dubious, I tend to use "Soit..." ("So it is...").

I picked up "Fathermocker" from an abridged parody somewhere way back when.

I also tend to use "Thank" instead of "Thanks", and tell people "Happy Birthday" when I give them something... like, handing them a stapler.

(says something related to topic)

For I am Marcen.

I tend to preface my questions with "Out of curiosity..." I also say "thingamadoodle" quite a bit. (Come to think of it, "quite a bit" is another phrase I frequently use.)

Another work one I've noticed is calling inanimate objects "guys". Specifically, a customer will want, say, a a purse hanging on display behind the registers, and I'll point to it and say "this guy over here?".

I've been in HGS for so long that I think "oof" is starting to become my new Verbal Tic.

I started saying dumb memes like "yeet" "finna" or "oof" as a joke. Now I can't stop saying those things.

"please stop, this is cringy." My friends say.

"Yeet" I say.

"Sorry."

“Bird Magic” for anything I don’t quite understand.

“I’m chill with that”, exactly what it sounds like (basically, “that’s fine”.)

“Orbs!” In a similar vein to “Bird Magic”, I said it a lot while playing metroid and it went from there.

I say these a lot when I play World of Warcraft.

Goblin NPC: What's the word on the street?
Me as I play: Your ministry is history.

Tauren NPC: May the Eternal Sun shine upon thee.\Blood Elf NPC: The Eternal Sun guides us.
Me when I'm playing as a night elf or goblin: The Sun? We night shift people call it "the scare ball."

I've got a couple.

• I feel cheated and lied to.
• ...a bit of X, and by "a bit" I mean "a lot".
• You say that as if it's a problem.

I have no idea where they came from.

"Oops." "Ow." "Sorry." "Did I just say that?" "Eh?"

Ending things with "So uh, yeah". I've been trying to say it less often so I don't look awkward as hell, but at this point it's been ingrained in me.

I've noticed I say "it's entirely possible" quite a bit. I also use the word "fairly" a lot, when "very" seems like too much but no modifier at all seems like too little.

“That sure is a thing”, when I don’t have an opinion on something but I’m expected to respond to it.

I tend to say vrepit sa too.

Alongside "you jerk", "people always lie", "za?", and "You know what? I don't give a damn!".

In Forum Games, I tend to use “>Not at all” as a response. It’s a reference to something, but I’ll leave you to guess what.

"You'll hurt yourself. Or have someone do it for you."

More verbal tics than actual catchprahses, but:

• "...etc. etc."
• "I was gonna say.." when this is actually the first time I was going to say it.

And I've pointed out to my girlfriend that she says "I'm gonna be honest with you.." or "I've gotta be honest.." a lot, but then she is Welsh.
