From reading novels, I've developed the habbit of using bloody when I think. So it's said today too? I thought it was a medieval expression or something.
I'll have to remember "like". In quebec's french, teenagers use this a lot too, as well as two other expressions that are not used in english.
It's "interesting" listening to them. It usually goes something like this. "
So she was saying stuff and I was like no way. And she was like shut up." I just don't get anything they say.

I don't so much want street talk as those little words and expressions used in casual conversations.
See what I mean? How often is the word "casual" used in everyday discussions? I write, I don't speak. Not many people would ever say aloud. "I'm writing something, and I need to have dialogs, but I have a weakness with english." It would go more along the lines of "Hey! I wanna write something but I suck at it, wanna help?" or something like that.
Most people don't speak properly, so I need to learn how they speak, to represent them realistically.
I'm doing well with the more mature dialogs, I just need the special expressions.
