cookie: It's "part and parcel", which basically means that something is an integral or essential part of something else.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I use double negatives quite a bit in my day to day speech. I don't really know why. I guess maybe it's a mexicunt thing.

Double negatives are perfectly fine in Spanish, no?

 

[skeptik]

Anything goes in Spicspeak.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Their language has been tailored to fit their laziness.

 

[Zephyrus]

Animals evolve. Languages devolve.

Andy and Zeph,

like such as?

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I don't really do it much at all, seriously. Maybe if I just need to say one word really fast, but I always feel retarded. Car would become "cah" etc. It's the Boston accent br0.

 

[AchrisK]

Pahk the cah!

It's funny, for a lot of Hispanics for which English is their second language, they have a problem with words that start with "S". They tend to put an "E" in front. Sacred = escared, etc.

I laughed at "are you trying to hang out?". Do people actually say this often?

Hmm, "'twas" and "dawg" are pretty annoying. Not that I ever hear them in daily use due to extremely Jewish wherabouts,(only on TV) but just seeing these words printed out evokes something unpleasant.

 

[Vossyrus]

"My bad" is pretty irritating.

 

[DarkBliss]

"My bad" does sound really awkward, but I do use it sometimes.

What about "hence"? I've heard that many people find it annoying.

 

[Vossyrus]

I also hate old expressions like "fool me once, shame on you...etc." Gah, that's sooo lame.

 

[Burning In Hell]

I do use "my bad" now and then.

 

[The Ozzman]

I use almost all of the phrases mentioned in this thread
