I'm writing something, and I need to have dialogs, but I have a weakness with english. I'm not too familliar with popular expressions. You know, how people talk among themselves. I know english but I never speak it in real life. I'm more familiar with "proper" english. You know, the kind you'd read in a magazine or instruction manual.

So I need help with dialogs, I need to add more life and colors to it. I'm doing research, but I can't think of everything, so it would really help if you guys could give me some example of spoken english in real life. You know, the things that differentiate an american speaker from on english or australian one.

But it has to be close to PG-13. I don't want the curse words. If it would get you in trouble for posting it here on Ironworks, then it's too much. Nothing much stronger than "Shut up" or "jerk".

Can anyone help me with this?
