There’s many items that I just die laughing at and want to use in regular conversation.

Many of the recent items of funny that I have been picking up have been from podcasts. Podcasts that I’m am the sole listener in my social circle, most likely. Well, make that “highly likely”.

Why?

Because I notice that I’m interjecting these funny things from podcasts into conversation, and the other person has no earthly idea what I’m talking about.

…and I just lost the game.

See? You probably have no idea what that means. And unless you listen to the Nobody Likes Onions podcast, you probably won’t. They also have another one that I’ve been itching to use: “banned from the show”. One could say “banned from the desk” or “banned from the blog”. Cracks me the hell up.

Also, due to the Diggnation podcast, I find myself saying “DONE” quite a lot. The context: someone says something about how “we should do” something, and the other says – instead of “sure!’ or “sounds good!” – “DONE!” Diggnation can also take the blame for me saying “Dude!” a lot more too. Those wacky So-Cals.

So what do I do about it?

I just keep using the phrases and come across as an idiot in normal conversation.

I just lost the game again. Dammit!
