what other kinds of conversational innovations have you noticed in the Chatterbox?

A license to kill talk about yourself in the third person:

/me is going to lunch

Of course, if Hardburn were to talk about himself in the third person normally, many of Hardburn's freinds would no doubt shove one of Hardburn's dirty old socks down Hardburn's esophagus. This goes doubly when Hardburn fails to use personal pronouns.
