Lots of people use pal. My favorite radio guy has been using pal since before the internet. If jj used it, no doubt he was copying someone.
Where the people at work got never heard of ya pal from is me. I use it in all kinds of stupid, hopefully funny situations - it has caught on.
Just like gamelive. People do little things and they catch on and become part of the culture for either short or long term. I could lob out a hundred examples.
That's what happens at work with me probably being the leading initiator. Some of them aren't even verbal. Apparently I have a thing I do with my arms/hands to express faux-angst that people have some fun with. Now that I think of it, I brought something to gamelive recently that I picked up from a co-worker.
It's the circle of life.
