Beloved by all. Some want him. Some want to be him. Some, like me, want both. So when I noticed the super cool slang word "sommit," a distortion of "something," laden throughout fat4all's posts, I slowly picked it up and added it to my forum lexicon. Fine. Then, it slowly slipped into my texts. No harm, no foul.

But then.

Then, the other day, I noticed something. I said the word "sommit" out loud. How, you may ask?? I've never heard the word sommit, so how did I wind up saying it out loud? I swear it just happened. I pronounced it not "summit," but more abbreviated, almost like "somm't." I already have a pretty causal and meandering speaking style with a lot of weird quirks (despite being American, I often say "soorry" and "aboot" like a fake, cartoon Canadian), but sommit is a line too far.

edit: I've looked into it, and it has an urbandictionary entry. "sommat" is described as UK or Scottish English slang. I hate that I do this now.

My lexicon has already been ruined by many words and phrases that I started using ironically and now use all the time, I've made my peace with it, can't relate, no bridge is too far now

"Sommit" was regularly used in the Professor Layton games.
oh neat

I think I slowly did this with calling my suitemates "the boys" (though I guess I should start calling them flatmates now or sommit)

Is this the fat4all OT ?
god it fucking can be

this thread is probably crossing a line in terms of metacommentary with other users, but I hope he doesn't feel too disrespected. it's all in fun/my astonishment that I said a word I've never heard out loud
