I've goten a bit of use from,
"My days of not takin' you serious have definitely come to a middle."
"Sheh sheh" gets used alot, but most folk think it's because I eat at chinese owned restaurants alot and it's polite & all.

I use 'I reckon' and 'a deal' or 'a mite' more than somewhat, now.
If I have had a day or so writing, then my speech is quite...affected. I think 'Versism creeps in 'cos Joss based it on collective cultural patterns and syntax. Just seems kinda natural, is all

The admin department of my company just moved offices halfway across London. Unpopular doesn't describe it. I had a semi-formal conversation with my boss when I described it as "nio-se" (spelling bad, I know). In this country at least I've got less of a chance of being understood than if I swear in French.

I use a few 'verse-isms, though not so much as others here. 'Shiny', mostly, and 'not so much' much more since I began to watch Firefly.
Every cloud has a silver lining. But that lining is usually tarnished.

I was in a meeting last week and was VERY quiet throughout as people around me were arguing the pros and cons of a new marketing plan. Literally, arguing. "If this happens" "If that happens" etc- and of course, when things calmed down a bit, my boss turns to me and asked me what I thought of the plan. You guessed it:
"I smell a lot of if comin' off this plan."
Everyone laughed, it broke the tension, and my boss realized he is off his nut for assuming the American consumer is so bright.
Later, a new co-worker came up to me and said, "I thought I was the only browncoat in this company!" I nearly fell over...and promptly invited new co-worker to lunch.
"Have you ever been with a Warrior Woman?"

what does sheh sheh mean?
I always use the chinese swear words and gorram, as my mum really frowns on swearing, so she can't understand. it also comes in handy for insulting my sister during on of our many fights.

Sheh Sheh means thank you. It's pronounced "sh-yeh sh-yeh"

I use "whinge" when describing someone whining or complaning. I get strange looks, but oh well.
My children, who indulge Mom's obsession with rolled eyes and heavy sighs use "Shiny" all the time. I just smile at them.
