as opposed to my daily ritual in facing the bathroom scales: "no weigh." "Weigh."
"Chicken Butt", the most often used phrase of my 11 year old son. Conversation goes something like...
Son: Guess what?
Dad or anyone else: What
Son: Chicken Butt
"Chicken Poo" is the second most comment phrase.
Son: Guess who?
Dad or anyone else: Who
Son: Chicken Poo
Then there always the ever popular, "Bite my shiney metal a%%" for the Rama-Heads out there.

Guess why? Chicken thigh.
I'm sooo glad to know I'm not the only parent out there that has the chicken butt thing going on in their house!
I work with a guy who inserts "Arrrrrrrrr" instead of "um" when he pauses in a sentence...he sounds like a damn pirate and it's really really annoying!
Do you work on a pirate ship? If so, you may have made a bad career choice.

+1 on literally. I think maybe for the under 40 crowd 50% of conversation is hyperbole and the literally means I actually mean what I am saying. I can say this now as a grumpy old man since I turned 40 today.
But I am kind of a dork on the actual literal nature of sentences around the house. Example:
#1 not very close.
"maybe Dad can make breakfast"
well maybe Dad could. But not until someone asks him.
#2 getting better.
"do you think you could make breakfast Dad?"
well I'm pretty sure I could. Are you asking me to make some?
#3. Got it.
"Make breakfast asshole"
OK.

Thanks I think.
The unedited version is almost exactly what I heard at 5:30 this morning as I left to go run.

Definately. Wierd. Edited to add: Using "in fact" superfluously.
Definately.
Wierd.

Am I missing something or did you intentionally misspell "definitely" and "weird"? Yet, correctly spelled superfluously... Am I being a spelling snob or are you screwing with us? Or are you saying that the overuse of misspelled words bothers you?
I believe I am spending too much time on this. I digress.
I do think that 'definately' and 'wierd' are overused. They come up all the time.
I'm not screwing with you. I'm being literal. Literally. (now I'm screwing with you).
Here's one from my work days... it has to do with figuring out the internet from a business perspective:
Monetizing eyeballs!
Ew. Here's the thing. One very successful business on the internet is porn. So, when it comes to monetizing eyeballs, I'm guessing that bedroom eyes are worth a lot more than regular eyes.

All I can think of here is:
"Mr. Dennit, with all due respect, and remember I'm sayin' it with all due respect, that idea ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin gettin' it on."
