Lingo-LingNO

You may know me to perhaps bust out some very questionable catch phrases, slang, or just forms of communication in general. However I have began to notice that I have been using some incredibly embarrassing lingo at my place of work as of late, and I think it may be a direct result of my regular sky high anxiety level whilst working. Other employees are definitely starting to take notice. For example, as I passed some food to one employee, I said "Ok here you are, go Bananas!" which immediately resulted in hysterics spreading amongst the other present workers. I didnt really understand what all the laughing was about, as "Go Bananas" in my opinion, is pretty mainstream. Almost too mainstream for my liking, it just slipped out. Much worse, and more himiliating, was towards the end of my shift, and my tired verbal screening process let this gem slip out: "Alright, should I skedaddle on out of here?" I watched in horror as my peers tried to pretend that word didnt happen. In addition to these ridiculous crimes against grammar, I have noted that with increased stress and anxiety, I tend to morph my words into song. Instead of simply stating what needs to go where, I have been stretching out the syllables into annoying little songlets. "Take theeeeese to this tablllllee fooorr meee pleeeeasssee!"

I am 100% certain this is one of the mountain of reasons why I have never been considered for "serving", as most tables would get up and leave when they realized a grown adult had yet to grow out of phrases like "Okee Dokee Smokee", "Absotivley", and "Alrighty". I personally wouldnt trust anyone to serve me food and alcohol who is constantly humming outloud even when having important conversations.
