i know this is random! but i really want to know what it means to talk like your from a different time please help and if you know give me some examples and how to' s please!!!!!
thank you =]

Like my girlfriend below said it basically is when you confuse the heck out of people when using a term that seems almost non-existent in the language today. It can be proper words or out of date slang.

I can't help if I have an extensive vocabulary and use the strangers words or terms sometimes. Yes, I used the word "bemused" earlier with my girlfriend or sometimes will say "shall we be going to so and so? we shan't? All right then." Of course i'm not being completely serious using those words. It's just kinda funny and out of left field. That's the type of person I am.

I shall keep using my "funny" words, calling people "cool cats", and calling some things I find cool the "bee's knees" or the "cat's pajamas".

Using slang might just make you look like a dork. If you seriously just want to boost your vocab with some fancily sounding words, try a word-a-day site like this:
http://wordsmith.org/words/today.html

That'll teach you a fancy word every day. Or, just watch Pride & Prejudice or some old BBC mini-series' or something.

Good luck!
