Good to hear.

Sweet!

Über – “Bill Gates is über wealthy.”

Hinky – “My Harley was acting hinky the other day in traffic.”

Choice – “The burgers at that restaurant are choice.”

"Sorry." I apologize for so many things, even things that I am not responsible for. Last week, my partner said that it was raining and I apologized for that.

I also unintentionally pick up things from sci-fi shows that I like to watch. Particularly Doctor Who.

ETA: "Ohhhh.." is another one, when I suddenly realize something, for example if I had been missing the point of a conversation and it suddenly occurs to me, or I find the key answer/piece to a puzzle game etc.

To those types of people who believe in the Gender Binary who presume that I can't or shouldn't do heavy work because of my biological gender, I say "I have my own hang-ups." and resume with the heavy lifting. I have larger muscles in my arms than many people that I know of both genders, despite the fact that I was born female.

Good for you, CR! I like that one.

Well, my favourite "phrase" seems to be "The Queen has Aides". When spoken out loud, this causes confusion for most, as they think I'm saying "aids" and not "aides".

figured/figures, probably/most likely/usually, IRL(online not in real life).

Used to say 'sorry' a lot but not so much now. Maybe I'm jaded or annoyed with people always saying 'you don't have to say sorry' or 'stop saying sorry all the time'. I don't say 'sorry' as much IRL but I don't talk to people as much IRL as I do online, usually.

both those a lot, very noticeable when I write and all my fictional characters I write about use the second when talking and the first is used in the narration between dialogue a lot. I use those two words so much I'm now aware of it but it's natural for me to use them so not using them or using something else in place of them instead requires a lot of work so I tend to keep using them.
