"Baah" as in "Bye" off Dallas used to be a thing, not one of mine though but it was so ingrained with certain people, I often wonder if they still do that.

the first time I used the word "unironic" I was probably being ironic but these days I don't even know dude

A guy at work says "hashtag (relevant word here)" out loud regularly.

"Hashtag boring" etc

I used to say "peace out" quite a lot, only ever earnestly; but eventually, as I began to feel more & more self-conscious*, I shied away from it (while also wincing inwardly at my less-advanced friends who continued to use it)

I could see myself saying it again these days--it's not a bad phrase, just one I overdid for a while

*: I'm not 100% sure, but I think this self-consciousness was tied to an observation or perception that I was making disproportionate use of slang expressions, "peace out" among them, when addressing PoC.

lately I've been really into calling ppl "twerps" in my internal monologue, though i don't think I've dared to speak it aloud yet

a girl at work was overheard muttering 'oh... balls' to herself in a strong estuary accent while on the computer. this turned into a bit of an in-joke/office meme, but now i find myself saying it automatically any time something a bit crap happens.

and also statements of personal preference with the personal pronoun omitted ("feel like we're overdue for another Grizzly Bear album" "not really liking the latest Knausgaard"). I complained about it on ilx and now I can't stop doing it.

(haven't even read Knausgaard and not sure if I want to tbph)
