My linguistic fingerprints include fillers, specials words and habits. The main filler I use when speaking is saying 'you get me?' and 'you know what I mean' after explaining something although I usually say this is as a rhetorical question. I also regularly say 'not gonna lie but' before saying things even when there is no need for me to say this.
Special words I use is saying 'sick' instead of good and if I want to say something is really good I'd say 'well good'. These are both habits I have picked up from my surroundings. I tend to use swear words regularly in my sentences when having a conversation with my friends however I usually soften these words when I'm around my family such as using less harsh swear words.
A particular habit I have when in a conversation is repetitively saying 'yeah' even when I'm not particularly paying attention to what they're saying. I also have a habit of drifting of topic and end up talking about something completely different to what I was previously saying.
I have a strong Bristolian accent and I'm told I often drag my words at the end of my sentences a lot.
