do you use anglicisms when you speak your own language?

I was wondering because I hate people who use them when there is a word already in our language.
I am trying to use the least of them now, some are just too laughable (I swear) :kijoongstare:

I have plenty of examples if you're interested :lisalaugh:

If you want, I can type down one and you guess its meaning as it is used in French​

Well I include English words when talking in french if I can’t remember/don’t know the word
that is completely okay :sanapray: I am talking about people who think it is cool to drop random English words in a sentence
(I have read that people who use the most anglicisms are the ones who don't speak English LOL)
