Does anyone have a ctah phrase they say (online or offline) or a quirky smiley or just something they alot when talking or posting.

My friends and I rip off quotes we like in anime and use them (oro from kenshin, SCARY!!! from trigun, it's so luch and vibrant from RahXephon, Irrelevent from Evangelion) ya get the idea. I also tend to say "lack of it, anyway" whenever someone says something.

Online habits....I do alot of these ^_^ -_- -_-; -_^ 0_o ^_~

I only do "lol" when I am actually laughing but I usually put "hee hee"
I also do "fu fu fu" which is another laugh thing I do. Now one gets it.

I find myself replying to almost everything with a "lol" when it might not be deserving of a hardy laugh.

I also use -_- a lot.

"xD" "=O" and "<3" have become staples of any conversation over the internet for me. :grin: I also use a lot of Ragnarok Online emoticon commands (/lv, /gg, /ok, /rice, etc.). ^.^; It's difficult to refrain from using them - I love them, but I don't want to confuse people. o.o;

XD and rofl are online staples for me.
Offline, I'm trying to work "rad" into my patois more and more. I dig that word.

<<I also do "fu fu fu" which is another laugh thing I do. No one gets it.>>
Aw, I understand. That's an evil laugh, similar to Naraku's famous manga laugh: "Ku ku ku..."

As for me, I find that I talk differently on the Internet then in real life; sentance construction, word choice, ect. I use all kinds of smilies, this being one of my favorites, =3 with the little cat mouth. ^^
I also use that last one a lot, because I feel it's difficult to transmit feelings over the internet.

That smilie reminds me alot of FLCL 0_o

For all the Legendary Frog fans, here's a Kerrigan smilie ^)_(^
I also say "indeed" alot online and offline.

I find that when I post I tend to be less concerned about my spelling than I'm generally am and as a result a lot of my posts have misspellings in them.On the other hand don't most of us have the same thing?

I use ^_^ and O_o a lot.

and I say pustahw? A lot in emails. (if you read it backwards it says whatsup.) And I always make up random things and say them for quite a while. I got lot's of people saying Gir sayings. Like "wait don't go! I need stuff!" Oh and in almost all my emails to girls I use milady.

Same here. Except for =_=. I don't use that one much. And I use two underscores for the mouth usually, unless it's for -_-.

I like using the CAA-provided smilies as well. ^__^

I tend to use symbols, rather than phrases and admittedly picked up such habits from CAA members such as Chloe, Elric-kun and Sunako.

Just to name a few....

<.< >.> @_@;;; lol bwahaha/mwahaha/wahaha teehee (-_-)\ heh ~('_'~) ~( '_' )~ (~'_')~ *hugs*

But my ultimate favourite is XD XD XD (yeah it's not really a phrase but I really use that A LOT)

Hmmm well, I say "to the max" a lot, and i ::air guitar:: a lot, and I talk about Pop Tarts and bacon a WHOLE lot. (All of these pertain to on and offline conversations)

I use elipses (the 3 dots) a lot online
I mumble in Japanese a lot offline

If I left anything out then i'll let the people who talk to me fill it in for me

Um, I use the ";)" thing alot. I'm also characterized by user use of the "---". For a while, my custom user title was "The Queen of the Dash", but I don't think anyone understood it but me. :lol:

I have a lot of weird online habits. I love emoticons and I use them all the time, including but not limited to:

O_o >_< >w< >_o >_> <_< -_- =_= ._. ^_^ ^-^ @_@ x_x
^_^/) <-- waving! krescentmoon taught me that
~('-' ~) (~ '-')~ <-- Elric_kun taught me that
( _ _) <-- sleeping or depressed
X3 XO XP >D :] :3 :\ : o :D

my favorite emoticon of all time: XD

aaand my second favorite: the zoom. ((((((((((((((((( '-')

lately I've been using "kekeke" and "fufufu" as laughs XD and I'm starting to pick up "rad" from aku_soku_zan. I say "kya" a lot and use ~ after sentences and words all the time. X3 put them together and it's "kya~"-- happy exclamation. I also say "nya". which I use in the place of "meh". another laugh is "kyahahaha" XD and I use lol and rofl a lot.

...>_>;; I'm done.

I only use "lol" if something really made me laugh or at least gave me a light chuckle.;) I also use the winking ;) and tongue one :P a ton too. Besides that I use normal English and don't really use any other symbols.

I sometimes use emoticons when I'm writing literature or e-mails to people who wont understand them. :grin: There, did it again. Imagine writing "And Porter smiled a strange sadistic smile :-)" and going 'D`oh!' at your own incompetance.

Also a dear on-line friend of mine always finishes his post with "So it goes", a phrase from a Kurt Vonnegut novel, Slaughterhouse Five, I think.

irl whenever someone says sup or whassup I almost automatically reply "not much" lol aim's gotten to me...

I use trailing dots a whole lot along with all teh faces ^_^ ^___^ *_* *___* ;;_;; T_T XD O_O o_O;; >.> >.< x.x and various others and variations

I talk alot differently online too... I'm not much more sarcastic online than I am irl, but I type in a much more cheery, updeat, kinda preppy way than I usually talk.

I prefer to use english, with few additions. The occaisional smilie or lol may pepper my speech, but generally in moderation.

Swing.

I've also noticed that I say "homefy" and "homeskillet" quite a bit, both in real life and online. I also say "anyways" a lot too.

I also say "indeed" alot when agreeing. This isn't a catch phrase per say but whenever I am sitting, I do the classic Gendo Ikari hands formation.

I find that when I am online I obsess over typos and edit my posts when I find them.
