I seem to have picked up "(But) I digress" from The Great Clement.

I.. also started to use "Fair enough" and "I digress" a lot. Damn.

A variation of another catchphrase of mine, has gotten a lot of mileage as of late:

"That's the Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard."

I've somehow found a Verbal Tic of using "Goddamnit" as filler or when things go wrong; equally as much as the American words "flashlight" and "layer cake" for actual cakes instead of the English equivalents.

I tend to say, "Sweet Palutena on a pogo stick!" when I'm particularly surprised, or "What the flip flap snip snap is going on?" when confused. On occasion, I'll say "Plus Ultra" to hype myself up for a challenge, though I don't usually say that one out loud. Sometimes I'll do that old "*breath in* boi" meme from Spongebob when I'm frustrated with someone's stupidity.

Sorry about the double post. ^_^;; But I just remembered another one. Whenever I see the "Maybe the real <something> is the friends we've made along the way" quotation, I've started to say this: "In the sequel, I'm hunting for gold."

When I'm playing Three Houses I tend to say "Nice dodge, [insert character name here]!" whenever an enemy attack misses.

I say "dope" way too much now. IDK why.

I appear to have adopted British vernacular. I do not know how this happened I’ve checked myself against the actual British slang and appear to have suddenly had this knowledge I’m unsure how.

Too add to "That was harder than it should have been." I also have "That took longer than it should have."

"Puppy!" when I see a dog, regardless of how old or big the dog is. Kinda happens a lot because I live near a dog park. I think this can be traced all the way back to when our late family dog was an actual puppy - it took us a while to name him, so in the mean time I was just addressing him as "Puppy", something that kinda stuck even when he was a full grown dog with an actual name.
