As I see in many of the Postings, posters are Writing like the Friends are Speaking. ('I KNOW!'). Are you also speaking like them in normal Life (You know, the Life you have when not watching stupid Soap-Operas ;o). I'm wondering if I'm the only One doing so ;o))

Could that BE any funnier?
The other day (okay it was something like three weeks ago) someone told me about something bad that happened at work and I said, "Noooooo!" To this, another coworker replied, "Did you just find out Ross was in Vermont with Emily?"

Very early on in the Friends phenomenon ISTR an article (in the UK Guardian?) commenting on how many people in the English speaking world were now starting to speak using the intonation and phraseology of the cast of Friends - becoming an overarching universal English, if you will.
I certainly do, but it has worn off again a bit over the years. :-)

No, people would be at least irritated or just ignore me if I started speaking English all the time. If I'd speak like the dubbed German Friends, I'd rather kill myself^W^Wcut out my own tongue.

I recently had an argument with a friend, and I said, "You really wanna pull at that thread?" It was the perfect thing to say at that moment..
I'm looking forward to the chance to use the Q-Tip line.
I use lines from the show all the time!!

Actually, my b/f keeps making fun of me because I keep saying Oh My God... but not like Janice though...more like my version of OMG.
