do you ever pick up accents or highly used words of a friend? im not from montana or anything, im from california, and sometimes, because of the people at my ranch, i talk and even think in my head with a western accent type thing. and i always pick up words that they use alot. do you? if so, what accent, langauge, or words do you use?

Oh gosh I do that too.
One day I had watched the Croc Hunter and started talking with an Australian accent and happened to be dressed the part for working on my ranch and someone called me Outback Bob and it stuck. I've never even been to Australia.

I went to New York City for a week and me and my friends actually picked up that new yorker accent and couldn't get rid of it for like two weeks afterwards. But from friends, yeah I pick up words my ex boyfriend always said "that's my steeze" and now i say it.

I have the opposite of that as I'm English but live in the US. A lot of people that I spend time with end up mimicking my accent or use my 'slang' words.

Yeah, I pick up all the weird words that my friends use. That they make up and then start using all the time.

As an ESL teacher, I sometimes have to change the way I speak English to my students because they don't understand my slang or idiom use. So sometimes I find myself using their expressions or body language in their language. Weird!
