Why do some people intermittently use some English words and phrases when you're talking to them in your native language?
It's so weird. Can't they remember that word in their native language or what's the problem?

Often there are no words to translate into.

@samueltyler2 It surprises me when I watch non-English films.
We regularly use ofc (of course), lol and rofl in internet conversations but not so much in person. Only if those are new words for which we didn't invent our own equivalents.
The dude uses phrases that would sound more natural if said in Slovak. The whole sentences. As if he wanted to emphasize the thought or say it as if it was something he wouldn't dare to say in our language.

@CrazyMusicLover or perhaps he trying to impress you with his knowledge of English

@samueltyler2 Well, my impression is still that he wants to say something indirectly.
