The words I use the most
Many of us get in the habit of using words over and over again. Some of these words are slang, and some just made up amongst friends. I can't think of a word off the top of my head I use the most often, but instead sayings. Whenever struck by an exciting idea or story, an "OH My Gosh!" will randomly out burst from my lips. One of my friends since 2nd grade used this saying all the time, and I guessed it rubbed off on me. During the awkward middle school years, I insisted on not being a girly-girl and constantly used "dude", god knows where this came from and why saying it was going to make me cooler.... but whatever. During high school, I had an excessive overuse with the saying "sweet" for everything from a cute dress to getting an A on a test. Now a days I use the typical southern saying "y'all", and somewhat betray my northern roots. I also use "Hay dios Mio", whenever the mood strikes for a little espanol. My hispanic side of the family refers to events as "doings", and I also have adopted that into my everyday dialect. When ever one of my friends has a blonde moment, the saying "yeah, ok Karen" always comes up, in reference to a dumb blonde character in the movie Mean Girls. Over all I would have to say that my language use it heavily influenced by the people and culture around me, and it has made me who I am today.
