I pick up words and phrases very easily. Just ask Mark "dad-gum" Box, Heather "Ridonkulous" DePriest (ps- that still sounds weird to say/write, Weezer!), or my freshman Bible study leader, Jennifer "presh" Holden, wherever she is.
Something else I recently noticed in my speech is that I tend to gravitate towards rhyming phrases. They roll off the tongue more easily, and make for spunky conversation. For example, here is a real life conversation that took place on a Saturday afternoon, when the girls went Wild Noodles:
Oh- and let me interrupt myself to tell you that just like I incorporate others' catch phrases into my conversation, that my friends have picked up on mine as well.
Now back to our story:
Ari- wow Bradley, you look really skinny mini today- have you lost weight?
Me- Really? I was feeling kind of chunky monkey when I left the house.
Then we laughed because we realized what dorks we were rhyming like that.
Other favorite catch phrases following a fun rhyme scheme include, but are not limited to,
* cutie patootie- when describing an attractive guy or something adorable
* chilly willy- when conversing about the sub-artic temperatures
* what's up, pup?- when making small talk
I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but now I think this blog is done. :o)

"Happy, Pappy?" was one of the oddest combo rhyme-times ever (from a random Seinfeld episode)...
I think, contextually, it was just inquiring about one's current state of satisfaction, how their feng shui was doing, or something like that...

ok, i may be a big dork for liking this one, but i don't care. i still like it:
"ain' nuthin but a thang an' a chickin wang on a strang from burger kang"
Does this mean you find yourself occasionally "gellin' like a felon"? My favorite commercial. And if you believe that....

Def.: A word that will not be finding its way into Amanda's conversation anytime soon, as it is impossible to rhyme.
OH! I forgot a few more-
Trendy Mindy- a person who is stylin'- usually reserved for women, but I find it's funny to use it when referring to fashionable men as well.
Really Prilly- ie. very pretty. Heather- I give you full marks for this one as well.
