     Does it count if...
     When something goes wrong, I hear Chubby Emu (the YouTuber who tells medical stories) saying "Something's wrong." In the exact way he says ig in his videos.

     Notably, I have heard "Presenting to the emergency room" whenever I have ended up there.
     It's like word association, and there's thousands of them in my head from various people, both real people and fictional characters.

     I also often say "Well there's your problem" like Adam Savage does in the MythBusters episode where they blew up the cement truck and he finds one of the engine pistons. It's almost involuntary.

     It is comforting to hear I am not the only one.

     @hellomiakoda Ma’am how are you in my head?

     Seriously, not the exact names or phrases, my head is always churning out random words associated with random people, but usually they are consistent

     @hellomiakoda I feel some of my own thoughts here...
     My entire vocabulary is a mixture of things I heard from other people. My words are not my own. Words are something other people came up with.

     Watching a lot of movies and listing to songs was a major part in helping me to speak (I am speech delayed, didnt speak until I was four)

     Just now, Ace Ventura "alright then" is the first echo in my mind of things I remember, in his voice too.

     I went through a phase where I was CONSTANTLY quoting Max Headroom, doing my best to speak like him. 🤣

     Worst was when my internal molog took on Barney the Dinosaur's voice. Drove me fucking mad.

     I have heard Doctor Nick from The Simpsons during every encounter with anyone named Nick for as long as I can remember.

     @hellomiakoda It’s like certain phrases get saved in your brain and then spits out whenever? Yeah I can definitely relate to that
