When people take your words, and try to make them their own?
are they complimenting you or dissmissing you when they want to pretend you never said the words first?

I have this happen a lot. I think it's because they are impressed with what you had to say. But they really should give you credit. But they never do.

I would find it insulting if the person who took your words didn't give you the credit for saying them in the first place. Trying to pass your ideas off as their own is wrong.

omgsh, it used to irritate the crap outta me, but its ok now.
still gets on my nerves but some of the time you just wanna shout out, give me some credit or be origanal or something
some people say its meant to be complimentary so i guess its meant to be a good thing, it'd be better if the origanal people got the credit.
if i say something someone else has already said i awlays say, that was be so and so.
i think thats more fair

A compliment. People who are copycats are giving the person they are copying the highest praise.
Tell that to a child who is annoyingly copycatting and they will stop in a heartbeat... funny!
