Yep it is how I get through the work day. All the yuppies in my office messing up the computers, it is like saying it in your mind but better because everyone around you is confused.

I say dong ma so much that my 6 year old understands it.
'You can't go to church in a power rangers costume, dong ma?'
I am trying very, very hard to keep my grammar clean, writing fic like a goramn fic machine isn't helping any. So far, my speech is ok, but my inner voice is pure Jayne. It's bound to start slipping out any day now.

I've been using bits and pieces of other languages, in addition to US western- and southernisms, for so long that adding things from Firefly didn't even get noticed. The Chinese one I find myself using the most is "ai ya." Anytime the kids do something (spill their milk AGAIN, race to the car and crash into each other and get hurt, you name it) or I do something (loose my keys AGAIN) out pops "ai ya." I've used easy peesy a lot, but many of the other things I would have added I've already been using since I was a kid. I've actually been wondering if Joss' people (family type) come from the same kinds of places my people came from. Hmmmm.

I've caught myself. I quote Firefly (whenever something is said about either 'blue' or 'hands' I say "two by two, hands of blue).

I say Gorram, and shiny a lot too.

I say "mind your own business" (can't spell it) in Chinese all the time. I say Ta me duh, and here's the thing that always baffles everyone: Wuh Duh Mah huh tah duh fung-kwong duh wai-shung doh. It's from Our Mrs. Reynolds, and it's the ever-popular "Holy mother of God, and all her wacky nephews."

I've said "Ai Ya." A lot, too.

my grammar is so bad since i started watching firefly. For Instance, if someone asks me to do something, i would say-
"I ain't gunna do it jus' cuz you wan' me to"
as opposed to just sayin "no"
I also get the occasional "tamade hundan" slip out when referring to guys in my class, plus "piece of fei-oo" and of course, the essential "Shiny", "Gorramm" and "Ruttin'".

I wish I spoke like that more, but I don't wanna force it. I also do that "two by two, hands of blue" whenever someone says 'two by two' or 'blue hands' or anything even remotely related. I have friends who actually speak Chinese so I always feel a bit funny quoting it from firefly 'cos I just know my pronounciation is really bad. I find it embarrasing when they have NO IDEA what I'm trying to say.

I said "I'll have it on the truck to New York on Monday, Everything's shiny!" to my boss this Friday.

I work my ass off at work. In fact, I did her job that night by doing the dishes last night, just because. To show her appriciation, she said, "This pot isn't clean yet!"

I replied, "Chu ni duh, tchen wah!" (in English pronounciation... by the way, that means "Screw you, slut!")

She said, "What?" I just rolled my eyes.

Ah haha
