After having listened to the Bombcast for a while, I noticed that phrases like "Yo man," "word," and "I don't know if you know this, but [incredibly obvious statement]," have entered my regular vocabulary. Has anyone else had similar effects, or am I just crazy? Scratch that, I'm crazy regardless, but  has anyone else had similar effects?

I find that when I am talking about something complicated with someone else, I lower my voice to Brad-octave, and take on that style of speech that makes him sound like he's forcing the words out of him. It's a real hit with the ladies.

Lol you need to get with the times bro and as for this topic, I've used those words way way before I listened to the bombcast.

Dude, are you in my head? I was just thinking about the same thing earlier today. I've noticed myself saying "totally",  "I don't know if you know this, but [incredibly obvious statement]," and a few other things. I also noticed when something weird or crazy happens, I'll just say, "WHAT!?", and when when someone does something stupid, I'll say "Whaaaat are you doooooing..." like Jeff always does on the Bombcast. I think I need to stop before it gets worse...

I'm in England. And I always say Awesome. It doesn't sound silly. At least not silly like "wicked" and "bangin'"

I don't think so. I listen to the Bombcast quite regularly. But so far everything I've said has never sounded out of place. At least, no one has ever pointed it out to me.

Also, who cares what sounds silly? If you want to say a word, fucking say it. No one can tell you that your speech is inferior.

No actually, the only person who managed that was Mark at Classic Game Room, and it was for the better. The crew has never managed to change my manner of speech... that I'm aware of.

Say it more. Perhaps, you could single handedly bring back the use of wicked in popular culture!

I think I use the phrase "OK, I'm back in" a lot more than I used to. Or maybe I always have and only just noticed it.

The only thing I've started saying as a result of GiantBomb is "Durgers".

If I ran into someone who said "Yo man", "Word", and "I don't know if you know this, but [incredibly obvious statement]" I'd instantly hate them.

I started saying Ryan's "boom" a lot. I also use Brad's  "hmmm" in the exact tone which either sounds like disappointment or contemplation.

I honestly said a lot of the words they say before I even came here.  Iit was quite the trip to hear them saying it for the first time and feeling like they were the type of people I would hang around with.

Really? I thought janky was a pretty commonplace word. I use it all the time, mostly to describe weird looking people on the streets.

Definitely, mainly "word?" and various curses courtesy of Ryan Davis. Man knows how to hurl profanities.

I'm trying to find the right moment to start throwing out "duder" but I have been talking about durgers for a while now.

I will sometimes do that "ut-dut-dut!" thing in similar situations.
I've also picked up "janky" because it's a useful piece of vocabulary.
Of course I'm not trying to "be like them" or anything weird. Their way of speaking is just appealingly colorful and I envy that.

Not too much, but I do seem to use "that dude" a lot more now, in place of such boring pronouns as "he" or "she".
