    ITT: What vocabulary idiosyncrasies and/or malapropisms do you use on a daily basis?
     
    I sometimes use the 'cereal' thing. XD But only when I'm being really sarcastic.

    Other than that, I never use those kinds of words. I make sound effects, though. XD​
     
    Are you coconut?! is what I say a lot of times or **** the what?
     
    I often go on a short rambling about something, like how old anime was more awesome or how to play a certain video game or other.

    It's been bothering me since I first saw you use it, what's this ITT mean?
     
    In this topic I believe it is. I see it a lot on neogaf.
     
    I use the word 'poo' frequently meaning something bad.
    "That's poo!"
     
    I use a lot of sound effects like WHOOSH! because I'm just plain nutty.
     
    Sound effects. Also, if someone's being far too serious, I may ask 'omg super cereal?' with a lisp. That usually lightens the mood.

    Also, sound effects.
     
    Sometimes when people say two-word phrases, I combine the individual words to make one super word!
    I can't think of any good ones off the top of my head, though.

    I also swap words around to make them backwards, like... I dunno, flying duck to dying fluck. I beg your pardon? I pardon to beg.
     
    "Whee~" is by far the best sound ever invented.
     
    This thread is about malapropisms, not onomatopoeia, Gully :P

    I use the phrases "I don't appreciate this." and "You offend me." in place of "wtf?!"

    Gymnotide, put that on your post before it is too late.

    Commonly, I would sure use "What the fudgewaffles". But besides that, I don't malaprop much.

    Mmk.....first of all.....WTF do those words mean??

    second...based off of the title I assume you are talking about some form of slang....and if thats the case I speak more slang than English in my daily life. I also cuss a lot too if that helps.
