Think You've Picked Up From Others

I've started pronouncing names the way one of my friends does.

Examples:
David = Dadid
Alex = Alets
Jessica = Jetsita

It's fun to do that.

Ummm.. I picked up "OMGWTFPOLARBEAR!" from CleoLinda (she's a hilarious LJer). And I've just recently started using "=3", dunno who I picked that up from.

I stared saying "I see, I see." from Abby- a RL friend. Other than that, I can't really think of anything.

I form of profanity which is "[swearword] spiders" that I picked up from Hog, who picked it up from someone he's at Uni with. I don't say it very much, thank the lord. I used to.

'toodle soir' also from Hog.

I also start picking up people's accents for particular words if I speak to them a lot on the phone. It's a bit weird, but not terribly uncommon.
