For you Seinfeld fans..."Jimmy might have a compound fracture! Jimmy's going into shock!"
I don't get the third person self-referral either but to each their own I suppose. It does irk me a bit when someone says, "How's Rachel? Rachel's wearing a lovely necklace. What's Rachel been up to? Rachel looks like she's about to bop Berthilda over the head with a copy of Strunk and White."
"Yeah...um, Rachel's right here. Me. I'm Rachel. 'You.' You can say 'you.' Rachel? 'You.' Well, not YOU you, but ME you. Rachel? 'You.' Ewe? Rachel? Never mind, terrible pun."
Anyhoo, I'm me. Not some third party. Unless I'm not present. One wonders.
