I admit, I still get that way. I hate it when "I CHOSE IT BECAUSE FUCK YOU" is not acceptable.
I have to make an effort not to get too overanalytical with my own languages--I like fossilized phrases that are no longer grammatical, or weird loan words, or bizarre idioms, but I always feel like I'm cheating when I stick them in. "This doesn't make any sense!" I think, then it occurs to me that a lot of English phrases make even less sense, and I use them with wild abandon. It's a tough balance.
