Yep. "Me mate said the other day...." queue loads of laughter and you embarrassingly knowing it was some fella on the forum that you don't even know.

I used to work with Skidfingers, and my wife has met him when we were in town one day, yet I still refer to him in a conversation as Skidfingers.

1. The obvious one: over the past year or two I’ve only ever ordered full english breakfast whenever I’ve been out for breakfast

 

2. I’ve been using the term “made up” as in happy for a long time now. I recently used it in a conversation and I was asked to explain what it meant.. so I went to google and found out to my surprise, that it’s very specific to Liverpool. The only possible explanation is that I must have picked it up from years of posting here.

When somebody posts on the work intranet about some shite about work success and collaboration and all you want to reply to it is, "I'm struggling to wank to this."

Repped. Hard.

Discovering, conclusively, that you're a nazi/racist/homophobe/sexist/cubist/impressionist etc

There's that too, but some of the political / culture war / identity threads definitely made me reconsider some of my positions, occasionally not in a way it was intended. Some made me take a look at places and areas I would not normally visit, some helped me understand certain phenomena better.

I definitely watched some brilliant / awful TV and read some books based on recommendations on here.  

And it has certainly widen the range of my work procrastination practices.
