You can get away with that because you're a member of the cool clique 4. I hate this kind of thread, but let me tell you what i think: 5. You all hate me because I don't fit in this was started as tongue in cheek...i hope no one takes offfense. i didn't mean it to be mean. if you think i'm fucking with you....you could offer your impression of me? cock. |

I can easily recognise three.
I think I know another. I'm torn on the other. But I won't be the first to name names :) |
well.....the first two are gimmes. the last three could be a few different people, i guess.
|
Damn - that 3 and 5 could be a number of people is a bit sad really...
|

Here's one to guess:
I'll catch if you'll leave your calling card, LJ. :lol: |
i dont get it.
.......cock? |
In real life, yes, people absolutely can. But I don't write the way I talk, so you guys are denied some of my more noticeable speech patterns.
As an example, I start a ridiculous percentage of my sentences in conversation with "Yeah, no," to indicate general agreement. I have no idea where this came from, but I've done it at least since high school. |

The blind link is lumberjim (not LJ--yet. :))
|
I was thinking yeppers could be any number of people too. Maybe zippy or lookout even.
|
yeppers is totally zippy
i always give him shit for using it |
~Hooroo!
~Latro Folks!! very distinct |
hey...I know both of those ones Razz!
|
so far, the only ones i know without a doubt is yeppers/zippyt and i used to do 'that' for a living, and was really good at it, so i know/rzen
Re: my ass, it would have to be a picture to be me. And 8 out of 2000 is hardly what i always do... That being said, I can't think of who else this would be though.... |
Like Clod I think people I know would recognise my speech patterns immediately. I don't think there's as apparent in writing. Except that I use ellipses and brackets far too much.
Oh and grim makes it into the posts - I use it in speech too, trying to wean myself off it. Also babba, chick, plum and occasionally cool potatoes. I don't think I've ever used my real inanities in the Cellar though: good plan, Batman, mental, mental, chicken Oriental or I'd risk it for a biscuit. |
Hmm... I bracket, I dash, the semicolon gets correctly resorted to, and my sentences grow long tails unless I trim them... that vexes Undertoad... but I think the most distinctive feature of my writing is my willingness to display learned coinings -- I like it when they're of my own invention. And I hope they aren't hemipygian.
LJ, it looks to me like tw got on the guess lists twice: #1 in the first and #3 the second? What's up with that? |
it's a trap! LJ is mining for our poker tells.
(and I like to start the first sentence with a small letter) ETA: okay looking back at a few posts that last doesn't seem reliable. Other people do it, and I don't always). |
But cloud - you only do it when you have a high pocket pair.
|
I don't know what I do...I guess I start my sentences with "and." And I repeat myself.

perhaps someone could create a form that you could fill in a person's idiomatic phrases or common word strings.....ah, nevermind. |

Mine is simple in the flesh. I *pfffffff* all day, at everyone and there are varying degrees for *pfffffedness*. I do the yeah/nah thing. Everyone impersonates my "look", its my blue steel. I am well known for my sympathetic streak too....when ever anyone has a whine, I pretend to rub my eyes with my fists and go "awwww waaaaaaaaah". Its funny how people pick up these traits when they are around you long enough. |
Pot calling Kettle black + Avian Polydipsomania = ?
|
27?
|
42!
|
hut - hut - HIKE!! !! !!
|
btw, I think avian polydipsomania translates to "bird multiple alcohol cravings." Not sure what that means!
|
It must mean cocktail binge, of course.

It's a picture of 'mocking' then a picture of a bird. I don't think I have any.

What's a picture? :confused:

Bump.
I watched a classic Red Dwarf episode before moving to London, and caught it on satellite again just after I moved. It's called Backwards and as a minor plot point, two of the protagonists think they have landed in Eastern Europe. In trying to communicate with the locals they just add "ski" to the end of everything. I got into the habit of talking to my cats like this - for my own amusement as they didn't really get the joke. This transferred into everyday speech for some words, most often being kipski for sleep (or a nap) beerski for drink and offski for going. Today one of my colleagues asked another, "Are you offski?" If there'd been more of me I'd have given a Mexican wave. |
Thanks Sundae. Now I have figured out where I got "yeppers" (so annoying) I must have contracted that from this thread.
:( Terrible habit! Arrrrgh! I bet it was only something I was using here and it also slipped into my language. I do it at work too. I'm going to have to watch that. I don't work with "yeppers" people. |
Our main use of the *ski* is Fuckoffski.
|
Hmm....beerski and offski are common currency in my circle...wonder if that's from the dwarf?
[eta] is 'baxi' for taxi used down south SG? |
