batskeetsTwo random and potentially annoying language habits I have recently picked up:
1) After greeting someone, saying "what's cooking?" instead of "how are you?" or "what's up?" Why am I doing this? Unless I'm greeting someone in a kitchen, that doesn't even entirely make sense! ::asdlfkhsdlfkhasf::
2a) Using "paco" as a term of endearment, i.e. "Hey, paco!" instead of "Hey, buddy!", and
2b) Using "paco" as a substitute for more vulgar, derogatory names for random idiots, i.e. "Try using your goddamned blinker, paco!" versus "Try using your goddamned blinker, asshole!" I blame both of these on James, for his gratuitous use of "Paco" both inside and outside of his role-playing adventures.
Hopefully, these are like many of my other verbal fixations, and will soon fade away in favour of a different slang term. Jeez.
Okay, time to go running. My legs may hate me later today, but they'll thank me two weeks from now.
