I have to admit, I like mixing up my own ridiculous phrases and terminologies (I realize the very word "terminologies" in this context is probably yet another huge faux pas), but I do so for my own amusement.
If others think it's amusing along the way (family and friends, but hey, they tolerate me out of love, right?
![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
), great! If people just think I'm stupid, well, I don't really mind if I've made someone (friend or family) smile, even at my own expense.
My latest "adopted" term is "cacti", which is a very incorrect plural form of "cactus", but hey. "Look, it's a herd/flock/gather/murder of cacti!" The people who know me just shake their heads at me. But they've been doing that a LLLOOONNNGGG time.
In a way, it's my own form of rebellion against political correctness (I'm sure there has to be a group of activists out there lobbying for cac-ti-cal rights--the rights of cactuses/cacti and their correct terminology--after all, there's a group for everything else), extreme Christianese, and overall overly done prim-and-properness.
