I tend to write and speak in mimic of what I read and hear, and some of my sources are quite a bit smarter than me, giving the impression that I'm more intelligent and more eloquent than I really am.  This is a good thing because I'm actually quite dumb.  But really, isn't that what all speech essentially boils down to?  Regurgitated words and phrases heard in one context and passed off as original in another? #language
