I've noticed I've picked up a few phrases from the Brits and various other groups. I was wondering if y'all have as well....

In responding (if you do choose to respond), I think it would be helpful to say where you are from / grew up / were influnced as far as communication styles. I'm sure there are Europeans who picked up Yankee-isms or Suthrenese, and Americans who picked up British slang, etc.

Also, what about the words you've picked up that are made up words that you've seen here or on other internet sites?

I've picked up:

"bless"
"good on you"
"well played"
"bloody hell"
"wanker"
"bloke"

All of those I think are British.

Made up words -
fiddlefuck
funishment
asshat (I don't say it, but I do think it sometimes)

What about all y'all?

best,
sunshine

Status: offline 		I can't say that I've actually used many of the words that come across the screen via our British friends.  I haven't exactly used the word "bollocks" in a sentence yet.

Made up internet words?  Absolutely.  I've grown quite fond of twatwaffle and douchecanoe.  These are especially fun when talking about other drivers on the road.


ETA - I forgot asshatery.

Inferiorite - Someone not worth mention.
Awesomity - Something ridiculously cool.
Dorkchop - A nerd.
Vomitopia - Extremely ugly person.
Bloco-Roboto - Overly serious person. 
Viewtiful - Attractive person that I could stare at.
Slench - Extremely loose girl.

Status: offline 		My personal faves picked up from British friends online are:
numpty (I love it because it sounds just like what it means)
bloody (my boss dislikes swearing, and doesn't speak Brit, so this comes in handy)
'goes/ went all pear shaped' (I like the look of confusion I get when I use this one)
'tits up' (see above)
'spit the dummy' and/ or 'throw the toys out of the pram' (because they make me laugh)

Made up words... oooh, too many to list there.
My current fave (thank you poohbear) is 'acted in a behindular manner'. Still laughing about that.
Also:
asshattery
douchecanoe
twatwaffle
twunt
fiddlefuck
craptastic (see also 'craptacular')
funishment

ETA one from P&R- 'funnymentalists'- thanks, Lucy!

How about : This is a list of the people who will take your bullshit.





That is of course followed by silence.

It's a phrase, and it's new, right ? And in no way did I mean it.

Status: offline 		I love words and I love playing with words. I pick up words, to use for my own fun, without even thinking about it. So I really cannot list them, or where I got them.

Although..........I have to admit to snagging a word from a recently released animated children's movie recently and used it with adults that have certainly thought I was mad as a March hare.

Megamind.......... "Olo!"

And I really adore playing with curse words to find new ways of describing things......like dumbassery.

Me: "Wonder what would have happened if it would have all gone pear shaped?"
Sam: "Sorry?"
Me: "You know if they had cocked it up?"
Sam: "I don't understand..."
Me: "You know if it would have gone tits up..."
Sam: "I really don't understand..."
Me: "If it would have been a complete and utter disaster, gone wrong, you know..."
Sam: "Ohhhhhhhhhh"

"bless your heart"
"south of the Mason Dixon line"
"happy as a pig in poop"
"in a New York minute"
"this side of the Mississippi"
"aloha"
"there are no bad boys"
"the big apple"

then yeah.... those are US...

Status: offline 		The one I've always used, and gotten wierd looks at, is "I'll beat you like a red-headed step child!".....
Oh, and "That's as worthless as tits on a boarhog."....cracked up the girls at work a couple of nights ago when I compared the network to that......

I was born south of the Mason-Dixon line, learned to talk in the south, and picked up alot of stuff from my mom, and grew up in upstate NY when my dad left the Navy.  Of course, I've done my share of traveling, but I've been up cleaning and unpacking since I got off work last night, so I'm brain dead.  Waiting on the cable guy, and when he's done, I'm hitting the hay!

Oddly enough never really managed to acquire an American accent when living there (might be a good thing as I was mainly in New Yaawk) but a few expressions slipped in.

"happy as a pig in poop"



I'm sorry. I was unaware that a polite version existed until now. :D
My Mom always used the more "colourful" version.
Speaking of Mom...she has some very fun phrases...like..."why don't you shove a broom up my ass so I can sweep the floor at the same time"...or..."he's as tight as a duck's ass, and that's water tight."

From America I've picked up douchenozzle and douchecanoe (for which I blame Hibbie), and the verb 'to bang' (for which I blame Jeffffffffffffffffff).

The things I've picked up from Arabic are so rude as to be untranslatable.

its: Pig In Shit.

Don't forget "arse over tit" (fell-over)

also, when a person needs a slap, it could well merrit a "kick in the cunt", this is non gender specific.

Status: offline 		My dad did business with a lot of Englishmen when I was a kid and they'd often visit the house. This, combined with reading a lot of Jeeves and Wooster books and watching a lot of Britcoms in my formative years has made me eerily proficient in that strangely alluring gobbledygook those people try to pass off as "English." Under stress, I often begin to speak (and indeed behave) like a flummoxed vicar at a cricket match. Once in high school when a close friend confessed she wanted to kiss me my response was to giggle nervously, hide my face, and then reply "Well, uh, I'm certainly hit for six!" I later apologized for "Making rather a pig's breakfast of the whole affair."

Oh, also I frequently admonish people to "Play up play up and play the game!" In all candor, between my Anglophilia and my penchant for quoting Public Enemy out of context, I'm reasonably certain those around me know what I'm actually trying to communicate a little less than half the time, but the important thing is that I sound pleasant and seem to know what I'm doing!

ETA

A couple of old friends grew up in Virginia. From them I learned:

"She's like x miles of bad road" (I felt like an honorary Virginian later when I heard the phrase in an REM song and explained to all my Yankee friends what it meant)
"Like a duck on a June bug"
"That was so rough it could make a man find religion"
"He was grinnin' like a briar eatin' mule"
