MuzikTyme Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I try never using the same word twice in conversation. It's impossible I know but trying increases vocabulary. Even the simplest of words can be transformed into music for the ears when trying to mentally find it's synonym. Speaking of the power of words: I still think man's most beneficial contribution to himself is the power of the written word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Kevin tries to speak without using pronouns. Kevin thinks it makes Kevin sound 'mysterious' , but most people tend to just avoid Kevin's company. Hmm ? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 but most people tend to just avoid Kevin's company My only advice is being selective about the company you keep. Not all company is good company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 So true! --and most company is not "Bad Company". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Lucylooloo! I thought you were "lost" forever! I use alot of words, but I try not to use any ones without realising it. I have a friend who says "dude" every 4th word. It's funny, because he'll swear he "doesn't use it that much, dude!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 EA, is this friend British ? I'm trying to hear it with an accent in my head -- does it sound like N.Amer. "did" ? :: I have a Scottish friend here who also loves the word and it sounds like " DYOUU- D" ! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hearing it in Scottish, Irish or Welsh has to be funny! I've never really thought about it sounding strange or not...I shall have to wait till I see him again! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 British, Irish, and Aussie accents are high-larious. If I knew someone from those places, I'd probably piss them off all the time just so I could hear them blow their top in their accent I use the word "like" and the phrase "you know?" a lot, but that's no big surprise, huh?

Kevin Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 EA, have you had the misfortune of hearing a N. Amer. say "Wank-eRRR" or "puff"--minus the 'oo' sound ? P.S To all N.Amer.'s ,never use 'mate' to an Aussie, unless you're skilled enough to throw an "Y" in there, Myate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Kevin, it's quite funny because alot of people comfuse me with an American or an Aussie. I'm soft South African, so I don't know how anyone confuses me with any of those! Nothing quite beats a boerseun saying alot of phrases though. I don't think any of you would understand a word of it, but it's funny to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictedtoclassic Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 That's odd SuzyEarthAngel, you seem to speak pretty normal when I read your postings... My favorite words, "I'm just saying", or "GIT-R-DUN"! I'd like to hear an Aussie say that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillianne Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I hate when people from Ireland say "like" and "you know" its so very D4, aye Gisela? I say "wuw" and "ooh" alot :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 "GIT-R-DUN"! What does that mean ATC? Apparently South Africans do sound like Australians or American to people in the UK. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictedtoclassic Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 "GIT-R-DUN" is the southern hick redneck way of saying "Get it done". Now, how can American's sound like Australians?! I can hardly understand what Australians are saying, but I always (well usually at least) know what other American's are saying. Unless of course they're speaking ebonics which just throws me for a loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillianne Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 You should hear a Nothern Irish person saying get it done! And I think the S.A accent sounds like a mix of Austrailian and English, definatly not American! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I say "shut up" all the time. Not to silence someone but to express: Shock :: - my husband made Christmas fudge?
