Vocabulary/grammar picked up from FF games

[ReloadPsi]

I would've posted this in the FFXII forum but the classic remakes also have a fair bit of fancy, over the top uppercrust and/or outdated English in them too.

Are there any phrases, words, grammatical aspects or any other odd speech patterns you've ended up putting into your vocabulary as a result of playing FF?

A fair amount of FFVII's dialogue helped me to stop writing in Queen's English back when I was in my early teens and encouraged me to write less formally when needed, and the "**** avails you not" from FFXII is stuck in my head forever... I now tend to use "avail" as a verb rather than "available" as an adjective.

Now you go.

I look up the names of Final Fantasy stuff just out of curiosity, so I guess I learned a few things there. And now I'm one of the few people who know how to pronounce Cait Sith.

Isn't it "Ket shi" or something? I can never remember.

Either way, the Japanese "Ketto shii" reflects that.

[Flying Mullet]

Chocobo!

[Elskidor]

Moogle!

Some sources said "ket shee" and some say "caught shee." Gaelic is weird.

Gross-ness

[Jessweeee♪]

Some Al-Bhed stuff, like "rammu" "cunno" and "lyga."

Except for my need to spell things in the Ole English thanks to XII; I cannot think of an FF game expanding my vocab. Xenogears on the other hand...

"Sit down and drink your goddamn tea!!"
I never used the word 'goddamn' before in my life. Until final fantasy 7 that is.

You spoony bard!
I say Kupo alot after I play a moogle based FF for a while, such as FFTA or FFIX.
I speak Al Bhed.
I call the Blood Elf mounts on WoW Chocobos.
And FFXII got me speaking all formally for a while after I played it.

Yeah, I've actually used that phrase legitimately in the past.

Otherwise, I've rather jokingly used "are" instead of "is" at times in tribute to "this guy are sick."
