Verbal tics-da ze!
0
Now we all know that normal people don't speak like Microsoft Sam. Do you have any accents or verbal tics that you use during normal speech? BTW I don't use -da ze at the end of my sentences because that's just plain stupid. Its like saying 我的åå—æ˜¯é›ªç¢§-yayness.

My verbal tic is actually that I do, in fact, talk like Microsoft Sam. I'm a total hit at parties.
Nah, in truth I don't really know of any verbal tics I have, per se. I have an accent, sometimes I code-switch expletives, if that counts. My choice of vocabulary and overall mannerisms are a bit uncommon, I suppose. I've been told talking to me is like talking to a cartoon. Make of that what you will. X)

The only one that I'm aware of is my tendency to precede all my responses with "What-" whenever someone's talking to me.

I do that as well. Even if I heard what was said perfectly clearly, I'll instinctively say "What? Oh," and then immediately respond to whatever was asked/said.

Pretty much this.
Also lately I've been saying "Sweet" quite a bit as a positive response to whatever someone's said.
Le example -
Person: "I've got a new game!"
Me: "Sweet."
I also sometimes say words like a proper british bloke, like not pronouncing the G in words that end with "-ing" or not pronouncing the H in "bloody hell". I sometimes even replace the word "bloody" with "shitting", to make "shitting hell", or "buggering" to make "buggering hell".

I tend to have a little verse in what I say (In rhythm, occasional rhymes)
Friend: Wazzup?
Me: Not much.
Friend: How's life?
Me: Not nice.
etc...depending on the situation

I have perpetual dry mouth, so before I talk, I gather all the spit in my mouth and run it over my tongue, which results in a slight clicking noise.

I do that a bit.... but bugger? you australian bro?
Also, I tend to say 'or?' at the end of a question.. eg:
'Is it any good or...' y'know, leave an open question kinda thing...
Also say cool and sweet in response to things
eg:
person: 'blah blah blah is this much, comes with certain blahs'
Me: 'oh cool'
and i change between cool and sweet depending :|

Verbal Tic?
I can't curse without consciously trying to.
I say "Oh Snap" or "What the Funk?" or "Get Cheesed" and so on and so forth.
I also have a tendency to bring out my accent whenever I get frustrated, resulting in the "angry asian man" voice as my friends put it.

It lives up to its name "furnace of China". I even sweat in the air conditioned room at my old home.

My boyfriend seems convinced I have a bit of an accent. I tried to get him to explain what it is I do to make him draw that conclusion, but he just said 'Sort of like Amanda Palmer'.. so I think... I emphasize my soft 'g' sounds and 's's. Idunno, I try really hard to enunciate my words properly, so maybe it kind of.. grew into something. -shrug-

I know I have an accent. Half of the time I try to get a proper sentence out and fail.
The other time, I'm just distracted.
To sum up, I can't speak for shit.

I've had multiple people tell me that I speak with an abnormally soft voice when i start conversations, but by the end I'm back to the ridiculosly deep voice that I have. I never seem to notice.
