Everyone builds up their own vocabulary over time. Even though we may all speak the same language, the way each person speaks is unique. We incorporate slang terms that are popular in our social group, adopt words that we have read or heard in pop culture and terms of phrase established in our family setting. I have compiled my very own dictionary, complete with many of the words and turns of phrase that I often use in conversation. I am very aware that many of these are pop culture references, and a few of them have come from my family. Several of them are things that I have made up or picked up in a variety of places. This is a comprehensive guide to my way of speaking.
