Can confirm, this is basically how it goes in Texas. Almost a decade ago, my best friend and I were browsing this little hole in the wall shop in central TX run by an elderly Japanese couple. They got to chatting with us and at one point, said we were “forever friends”. I’ve been using that phrase to describe us ever since.

One nice thing about English, it will lexical borrow from you in an instant. We just love new ways to say old boring stuff.

In japan don’t you just get jouzu’d for any less than native equivalency and/or for looking too gaijin

It may be just how normalised it is for English speakers to hear people speaking English imperfectly. There’s no shame or judgement in it. But when you find whimsy, oh boy. I still say “delicious” in the way my Greek coworker did almost a decade ago, because it sounds better And my dog trainer called my dog’s arse his anoos one time and now that’s all we call it. Talking about mine? Arse. The dog’s? Anoos.
