Mostly I've noticed myself and folks I hang around with picking up phrases from each other.
This can be an amusing game of "new phrase of the week" at the office.
examples...
"that's not too pretty good" coined to indicate a fairly bad situation.
"technian" coined by a typo and used to address hardware technicians.
Also I am Canadian, so "pop" was always my word, but since my sister has been living in the states for a few years, I've picked up the word "soda" from her, and use it about 50% of the time now.
My son always wants to go through checkout line #7 at the grocery for good luck. Maybe someone will start doing that now.
