I have a few.

One is, "O-oh!" when people say things that 'shock' me. Another is, "What's that now?" when people tell me something that frankly I don't need to hear (usually over shares about boyfriends). I suppose another similar phrase is "I beg your PARDON?"

Sometimes I refer to myself by my last name, as in, "Drapper does NOT approve!"

Another linguistic stylistic flair that I use is always Full-Naming people. Ben is "Benjamin", Matt is "Matthew!" and if I know their middle/last names, I often get those involved as well.

I tend to call people by their first and last name as well, because a lot of my friends have very short names like Dave, Greg, or Rich, so adding their last names adds the "stylistic flair" that Beau mentioned.

I also like using the word "really" to indicate disgust, as in "You went to dinner without me! Really!"

When someone is like "I just got stiffed" or "I tripped while reading", I say "Rut row" or "FAIL". And I don't swear, and I refrain from slang. I say "cheese" randomly, too. Ahaha...

I have a few:
-"Wait, what?"
-"Cheese and crackers!" (in exasperation)
-"Kiss, pookie." (when I see an attractive guy or gal :wink: on TV)
- several that can't be said here (yeah, I'm a potty mouth. :embarrassed:)
