Line 4:
Sometimes one character's [[Verbal Tic]] or character trait ([[Rhymes on a Dime|rhyming habit]], etc.) can go viral. (This is how [[Me Me|Memes]] form, see [[Memetic Mutation]].)
 
[['''Got Me Doing It]]''' refers to effects on other characters in the work in question. Some readers/viewers may find certain speech mannerisms infectious enough to pop up in their [[Real Life]] mouths; this effect is much more [[Ear Worm]] country. Of course, if your latest bout of [[Stephen King]] reading has resulted in you saying ''thankee-sai'' to the teller at the bank or the checkout girl, please consider what the Universe may be trying to tell you.
