If Aleister Black posted here, he could just post "Zelina Vega".

Just thought of another, I use the term sympy a la Scott Steiner. Said it in a group chat with non-wrestling friends and had to send them the clip to explain 😅 Oh yeah, plus one on that one right here. You could say that you do in fact have my sympy

Occasional Savage or Dusty verbal tick references, with impression.
Larry Sweeney style strutting and hotdogging on occasion, I throw out a "Ain't no doubt about it, baby" on occasion too when it's an understandable response in a conversation.
That's about it.

Everyone has their own style.... but I'll always call it their gimmick.

I have, without a dash of f***ing irony, said "12 Large, Brother!" when excited more times than I care to count.

I did it!
I was able to drop in the line "I'm bi a lot of things, lingual isn't one of them" at work!
Context was an internal job advert looking for a bilingual English/German speaker.

I refer to physical items as a "gimmick" thanks to Steve Austin's podcast and especially Lapsed Stone Cold.
I also referred to the guy behind me in traffic as an ass clown and my gf just burst out laughing at that because she's never heard it before.

Back when I did sales it was tough not to think of pitches in terms of how they’d come across as a promo, if that makes sense.

I wear a suit to work and after a rough day, I sometimes come home and start throwing my suit jacket off and aggressively undo my tie like I'm in Evolution about to do a beat down.

From OSW I'll also randomly to the Ace of Base duckarse tune. Everyone I've explained it to can't unhear it, don't bring up Backlund, just say that bit is a duck waggling it's arse. Any time I have a long umbrella, I'll act like Crow Sting with a bat in how I hold it, and randomly use it to point at things.

Use the word "gimmick" in average conversation. Oh and "no-sell". Yeah. I use "gimmick" and "kayfabe" when talking about music. To be fair many bands in certain subgenres actually DO have gimmicks. I do the Underaker sit up at some work days when I acutally feel like an undead person woken up by the alarm. When being a bit too honest ranting about something I refer to that as a "shoot".

Bad habit of doing the Too Sweet to people who likely dont even know what it is, and calling shit gimmicks for no reason. Kind of a lame habit if you did it around an actual wrestler. I bet its cringy to them lmao

Anytime my wife says or does something that doesn’t seem right I say “you’re not being fair to Flair!”

Here's one I do without even noticing:
The tune to "Here come Chris Benoit and he's really mad. Here comes Chris Benoit and he's really angry" permeates most of my idle moments.
If I'm drumming my fingers on a table while doing nothing in particular it's to that rhythm.
If I'm petting my dog, it's to that rhythm.
Wiping the dogs fur off my jeans...to...that...rhythm.

I called people Slapnuts for an inordinate amount of time. I currently have my ten year old daughter’s youth soccer team doing two sweets way too often. Occasionally there’s a parent on opposing teams that knows what’s up & that makes it all worth it. My daughter & her three closest friends on the team privately refer to themselves as The Elite.
I really tried to get “you can’t teach that” into things, but it never took. I also use stuff like heel turn, no-sell etc in daily conversation.
