I grew up in the Smoky Mountains of GA, lived and worked overseas with the British and am currently inhabiting FL. I have studied several foreign languages as well. As such, I have a mish mash of dialects and slang. When I am conversing with someone, I tend to take on their speaking habits and accent. The worst, however, is when I am talking to someone with a rural southern accent. My hillbilly roots just reach up and grab my voicebox, I swear. Ya'll, You'uns, git outa heah, ain't, and all my words seem to grow by 1 or 2 syllables, kin yew b'leve it?

My kids think I say milk funny. Me-yilk is how they say it sounds. Pffftt...

I also play an online MMORPG, Everquest. The phrases used in the game have occasionally spilled over into real life which always gives us pause (are we overdoing the gaming thing!?).

Camp: To sit your character down and type /camp which will log you out of the game after 20 seconds. I've actually told my partner I was camping for the night as I was heading to bed.

Aggro: A creature sees you and attacks. My partner and I have used this phrase to describe getting upset with each other.
