Informal interview?

When talking to bankers on the phone I tend to use colloquialisms like "awesome" or "cool". I do it out of force of habit. Other than the occasional slip I am pretty professional. I am just concerned that I will come across as an immature college student. Should I start actively trying to stop myself from talking like this or is it no big deal?
