Hmm...now that I think about it, I have another one! Ever since I rewatched the very first Season 3 episodes, and realized just how goofily they were written...I now have a habit of occasionally congratulating people on something they did by describing their efforts as either "strong work", or a "strong job". For example...
"Nice. That was some strong work you did there!"
Or...
"Very good dude. Strong job!"
EDIT: And now that I think about it, I also have a very similar tic to the posters who report going "KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK" at certain times, except I do exaggerated grunting noises like they do in the dub. The more hyperactive I am at the time, the more often I tend to do it...

Sometimes when I want to relieve some stress (and I'm by myself) I'll be all like "OOUUUUAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" the way DB characters do when they power up or unleash an attack. It actually helps!

Similarly, whenever I hurt myself, me or my brother sometimes say "the pain's too strong, and I don't think I can go ooooooon!"

Re: Verbal Tics You've Picked Up from DBZ?
Kind of the 'Kkccch' type of verbal reaction if I accidentally hit my hand or something. I catch myself trying to use 'ain't' more, but that may just be from doing fandubs of Goku and typical sentences for him are like 'I ain't gonna worry 'bout it'. I do try to stop myself from using it since I never used it before Dragon Ball/Goku influenced it. I tend to more eloquent than that. Not quite Kai Dub Freeza level, but I don't speak in a hick-ish way like Goku other than the occasional 'ain't' slipping through. Through Kanzenshuu/Mike and Co. (may not be directly DBZ, but I think it counts here) and trying to learn Japanese I've started to wean myself off of FUNimation's incorrect Saiyan 'say-yan' pronunication. My brain auto defaults to 'Sigh-yan' now.

Vegeta says 'pal' a lot, and now the way he says it is forever ingrained.

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.
