I don't use ain't often, but I use it more often than aren't I. The one I only use occasionally. The other I use not at all.

Maybe we should start a movement to revive the use of ain't.

"I ain't gonna hold my breath."
"I ain't gonna take it anymore."
"I ain't gonna stand here waiting any longer."
"I am happy, ain't I?"

:wink:
