I'm sure it sounds affected, but since I really am using it completely unconsciously, I can't help it.
Yep. Same for me, along with "bugger", "bloody", and "wanker".
Poor Buffy. Your life resists all things average.

Our wings are not tired.
I prefer frell to frak, but only use them in my head. I just can't convincingly pull off potty mouth.
Yay for new phones. I got the Sprint Treo variety. Sadly I haven't taken the time to set up many of the features. I haven't even used the camera, but the kids have.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'd guess from Heathers ("Fuck me gently with a chainsaw").
Could very well be. I do think that was quoted at least once (though I never saw the movie until well after highschool) and over time they just sort merged into one uber-exclamation.

I've been known to use "bloody" and occaisionally "bloody hell", and even managed to get my brother to start doing it, but I have no idea where I originally picked it up (I started using it pre-Buffy-watching) and I'm sure it sounds incredibly out of place.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I say "bloody" and "bugger" a lot, too. I think it comes from being a raging Anglophile, but I know my first exposure was the month we spent in Australia when I was 8. I got a hell of an education that month.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Except it's not obviously intentional. No more than the rest of my swearing, anyway.
For me, I meant but didn't say. But since I've very rarely heard anglos use it other than "ironically" I guess I can't really say how I'd take it in practice.
*meaning what people usually mean when they say ironically, which is of course, not generally ironic at all. Ironic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Once, to my embarrassment, I used "Wank!"

So, is it possible on AIM to have sent somebody a message/friended somebody without being aware that you were doing it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you're drunk, maybe.
But since I've very rarely heard anglos use it other than "ironically" I guess I can't really say how I'd take it in practice.
I'm not exactly sure how many of my anglo friends swore in French, but I came away with "calice" and "taber..." I have no idea how one spells taberouite for real, nor why I should need to bowdlerise my French swearing. But I do, sometimes.
