Mikaela:
"Tell you what" has become a regular part of my writing pattern. :) Along with various other lines straight out of BBM.
But as for speech and conversation - not so much. None of the lines work half as well when translated. I've on occasion used the original English lines in getting points across to our dog. ::)
I do however use "Shit" or "Sheeeet" quite a lot..... (too much, I'm afraid :o ) because it works equally well as a not-too-terrible expletive in my language.

Great examples, you guys! Thanks!
I have some friends who keep saying they're going to visit. First April fell through, then June, now July doesn't look like it's going to work. So now we're talking August. And -- you know what's coming -- I am almost hoping they'll cancel then, too, so I can say
"Well what the hell happened to August?"

Hahaha, I told you on that other thread that I'll be back in the Chicago area and can meet you in September. Perhaps this quote could be applied to our situation too?
My dog likes to bark at anything she hears outside, both real and imaginary. I used to say "It's ok" to try to get her to stop. Now I say (what else?) S'alright.
I also say Tell you what more than I did before (which was never).
I've also said Never enought time, never enough more than once when things were crazy at school at the end of the semester.
Guess I don't get any bonus points. :-\

I'd like to hear about someone using:
"rodeoin' ain't what it was in my daddy's day"
convincingly in conversation with an unBroken. anyone up for it?

I've started saying "ummmm" and "hmmmm" a lot. I blame this on Ennis! :)
