Vocabulary/grammar picked up from FF games

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posted this in the FFXII forum but the classic remakes also have a fair bit of fancy, over the top uppercrust and/or outdated English in them too.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

Chocobo!

Moogle!

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

al bhed

Kupo!

Gross-ness
that is actually subconciously in my vocab now and its spread as stranges say it aswell

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...

Rally Ho!

spoony bard

chicken-wuss

booyaka

"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."

Curaga, firaga etc

currently learning how to write al bhed :P
