Within a tale of my life, you might hear phrases like "I'm over it" or "I'm so past the point" to suggest my ambivalence towards a subject that I'm beyond caring about or the word "literally" used frequently to stress the reality of a situation. I tend to use phrases and say things that dramatically mock a stereotypical flamboyant gay man to poke fun at myself for obviously being very visually homosexual. For example, when given a mint I may say, "No thank you, it has too many carbs," or use the word "bitch" as a term of endearment when picking up the phone call of a close friend.
How my friends and I talk is very theatrical. Everything is overemphasized and very loud.
Another phrase I say a lot is "Oh my god, I'm literally going to die" even if what has caused such a reaction is, in reality, something as simple as needing a glass of water without possessing the ability to remove myself from my seat.
I think that this language of extremities works so well for me because it removes the monotony from my day and allows me to exist as a fantastic and colorful character even in the most dreary parts of reality.
