Have you ever binge watched so much that you take on the speech patterns of the TV show characters?

[SaulBerenson]

I’ve noticed recently that I start to imitate the characters - eg an American show I don’t necessarily do an American accent but more their manner of speaking, or if the characters are very sweary I swear more for a few days.

Is this weird??!

I once used the phrase "breaking my balls" when we'd watched a lot of Sopranos.

KavLarr me and DPs when trying to wind each other up thing is his heavy accent and ending ever EVERY sentence in BITCH

As a teenager, I was obsessed with Thunderbirds, and found myself speaking in the same way the characters did. Although I didn't say "F. A. B.", I said phrases such as "for Pete's sake".

Buffy.

@redbigbananafeet YEAH BITCH!!

Yes, DH and I talk like we work in the 99 all the time... only at home, I hope!

I've binge watched so much that when I went to bed I fell asleep and slipped straight into the world of the series. Also can happen if I watch a scary movie just before bed 😱

After a good binge of Orange is the new black and American version of the Bridge I was really proficient in Spanish swearwords.

Does Peppa Pig count? Oink!

I became very camp after binge watching about 7 seasons of rupaul’s drag race a few years ago. It was weird!

No, but I use subtitles, so it would be very weird if I did.

This is half of the language I use. I am sure it has come from TV shows I watched or even shows people close to me watched and repeated and I picked it up from them.

In times of annoyance I do occasionally find myself channelling my inner Blackadder

DH and I did when we binged on the West Wing. Our sentences became shorter and more staccato, not mani obvious Americanisms though.

*many

kavvLar right BITCH? You know, BITCH!

I’ve just discovered and watched a load of Peaky Blinders and am feeling a bit dangerous just waiting to pull my gun out of my gorgeous 20’s handbag and shout “don’t mess with the fackin Peaky Blinders”

There was a while when I binge watched Buffy they I half expected vampires to appear when I was walking home from work in the dark. It was ok though I was pretty confident I could dust them.

I came on to say The Wire too On a holiday last summer we were talking about how we were running low on booze, and I said "when we next stop for lunch we'll just find a supermarket on Google Maps and a couple of us will go for a re-up."

My husband said "RE-UP?" in really scornful tones. "What is a RE-UP? That's NOT A WORD."

He was the only one who hadn't ever seen The Wire. There was a long, embarrassed silence whilst we all just stared awkwardly at each and tried to pretend it hadn't happened.

It did though.

(He's seen The Wire now.)

I’ve been on here too much and talked to a friend and nearly called her OP. What a fanny! Does that count??

Sopranos

DH and I have basically morphed into Martin and Jackie Goodman from Friday Night Dinner.

One couldn’t help oneself from speaking like the queen after watching the crown

Scandal - I was firing off instructions and consequences constantly. DH would tell me to stop Olivia Poping the children.

I do it in my head, currently Lafayette in True Blood, I say it a normal way (I hope) but in my head it's him.
