I have this habit of vocal stimming since childhood where I repeat cartoon phrases. However, I would modify them, such as changing a word, or putting a different phrase to the character's speech pattern from the original phrase. I'd use this to communicate, make others laugh, mask my anxiety, entertain myself, etc. The closest thing I can find to this is scripting, but it seems scripting refers to exact quoting. Do any of y'all do the type of modified scripting I am referring to? Or do you know a name for it?
See, here describes scripting, which is almost but not quite descriptive of what I do.

What Is Autistic Scripting?
Scripting is the repetition or reciting of lines from movies, television, books, or words other people have said. Scripting is often used as a form of communication by autistic people, and can also be employed as a stim for enjoyment or help with sensory regulation.1
