Is it weird that

[SarahFair]

I want to start using other words not from my culture??

Like...
Blody Hell
Or Mate..as in hows it going mate?

I just feel like everyone (who knows me) would be like wtf?

 

[Hillside]

Honestly, if you DECIDE to start using another culture's slang it doesn't come off the right way. The inflection sounds fake. It sounds like you are forcing it. I used to try to use dude or bro several years ago and it always came off forced. Then I moved to the west coast and "dude" rubbed off naturally. :rofl1:

 

[puppydog]

Well, the fact that you think so deeply about it and make a concious decision to do so is more wierd. JMO

 

[noludoru]

They're just words. Why not?

 

[CharlieDog]

lol. I've picked up a lot of English slang from reading books that were written by English authors. And some of my spelling is weird because of it. Like grey. Most people in America normally spell that gray, but I've read it for so long as grey, that it doesn't look right to me.

And, now that I've said something about the slang, I can't think of a blasted thing.

Oh, I say bugger a lot. I'm not sure if that's something or not, but I don't know anyone around here that says that without having picked it up from me, and it's in a lot of stuff that I've read. Someone from the UK/England/Wherever feel free to correct me.

Well, if they question you on it you could always say "bloody hell, I didn't even reckon I was chirping that mate!"

hahahaha

I wouldnt be trying to force the accent or anything..
I just really like the words

 

[puppydog]

Well, I picked up "no worries" from my Kiwi mate.

Hey they are just words and don't belong to anyone, if you wanna use them use them .

So is it not common for people to say bugger, bloody hell or mate from over your side of the pond?

Nobody here says them...but I do live in Pennsylvania

I like the way Ron Weasley says bloody hell in the Harry Potter movie, it's my favorite part.

 

[SarahFair]

I know right!
I looove the english accent

 

[PixieSticksandTricks]

My best friends little brother has had said bloody hell since he was seven lol he's thirteen now. Its not weird to me because he has said it for so long now its just part of his vocab.

 

[Dizzy]

Not weird at all to me.

And currently working in a male dominated environment it's everyday language.

 

[skittledoo]

I say bloody hell a lot and never really thought much of it. I've said it so many times over the years that it really is just a part of my vocab. Now... I may sound a bit different when I say it than Ron Weasely, but that's cuz I'm stuck with no accent at all... even in my normal everyday speech... at least no accent that I'm aware of anyways... lol

 

[SarahFair]

People from other parts say I have an accent...Ummm no. lol

So if yall SO or bestie was to pop out with a new word like that you wouldnt take a second looK?

 

[skittledoo]

prob not... its just a word really
