OMG! It's catching ... Be careful out there!

Well, I guess since I have absolutely no inkling of an idea of what that particular word means I am safe from being tempted to use it, at least for a while.

Well, I’ve never really given any thoughts to this…I just pick up words from any place just because I like that word and (curse my memory)…I forget it soon enough. My mom had this nice habit of noting down words in a small diary and she had an enviable collection which I used often. I’m too lazy for that so I just pick up a word I like, look it up if its unknown and hope to put it to practice in my daily life…I don’t know if any mylotter has ever picked up anything from me…I don’t think so, I’m not such an expert with lovely words…but I’ve burbled enough on this…on to next discussion LOL

Hi Sandra, It is nice to bring out words that are seldom used. I do pick up words that is not in my daily grammar from mylot users. From here I am able to add up to my knowledge bank and might apply them when the need arises. English is a beautiful language where there are many words that are yet to be discovered by the non native speakers. I am not daring enough to use bombastic words for fear that they don't fit in well to the construction of my sentences which might distort the whole meaning of my post. I learn while mylotting. It is a blessing to be with people who are well conversant with this language.

I have picked up a number of "Americanisms" that I tend to put into my responses because it saves on translation. I think that it was Churchill who said that we are "two great nations divided by a common language". I probably have picked up the odd colloquialism but I cannot think of one at present. Y'all take care now! LOL.

I have never really picked up on any words from my fellow mylotters but its still early days .I do like some of the word that many of my friends here used but has never had the opportunity to use them back.I think that burble is a nice word though and I may even think about using it

what are your little phrases? anyway i don't think i've picked up much from mylotters (apart from drivel and dribble as a synonym) but in one job where i was surrounded by north americans (for english) and south americans (for spanish) i caught myself picking up all kinds of things, i think i talked about having a regular job and adding ito and ita to absolutely everything. i think spanish spanish speakers would have had a field day with the version i was speaking and i have tried very hard not to come out with americanisms since then.

Lol Sandra I am afraid that is unavoidable here lol Yes I pick some up to so you are not alone and do not worry about it we can all have a good go at picking up different Words and it is fun lol specially when we type without realizing lol

I do pick up expressions that I like from people. Burble sounds lovely but I think I need a definition before I dare to use it! :-)

Hi Sandra, I don't think I've caught myself using the rabbit's burble but sometimes I've found myself using 'absoulutely you are right' but usually responding to the person who says it. I've had quite a few over the pond say they like the word drivel so we must check if that one spreads. Now I have picked up one from your good self - spookey. I don't think I used to use that one before.
