Your Catch phrases

Post Reply New Topic

I always feel like it's way too much pressure when people say, "Have a nice day" so I just say "Have a day".

I ask people "How's that working out for you?" Especially when saying things like, "He was driving me crazy and I screamed at him and smacked him around", you know acts that are obviouly inappropriate.

I tell my son to "scare his hair" when I want him to brush it.

I love to tell people that I lost my ex husband. Well, I didn't really lose him, but when I go back there, there's a different girl doing him.

I tell my husband all of the time, "I killed the first one, divorced the second, your fate is totally in the air."

My son used to tell me "I hate to have to tell you" when delivering bad news.

"Take it sleazy."

I get weird looks when I use that one.

"mmmIdunnow..."

"Jovars" (untranslateable?)

"Huh..."

"Bah!"

"For Hell's sake..."

My favourite is 'interesting' - its gottem me out of lots of tight spots - you know, when you don't want to lie but know that if you say what you really think the fur will really hit the fan.

The closest translation that I find fitting is some form of "kinda" reply.


Anyway, for me, I don't know what my catch phrase is.
I say, "That's the way things can go" a lot, though.

On my cat site, when I really like something, I use my own personal Internet abbreviation PWD, which means "purring with delight."

When someone asks me how I am doing I reply "I dont really know..."

I say "Oh, yeah?" or "yeah?" constantly. Usually means I don't know what else to say, probably because I'm not all that interested.

"I read somewhere..."

I think my classmates are developing a Pavlovian reaction to this phrase: as soon as they hear the words, their eyes glaze over.. (just kidding- they usually humour me)

Oh jeez.. I can relate to this. I can think of numerous times when I have painfully explained the evolutionary advantage of...well... anything.

"facepalmplz."

The most common one I will use is "Bloody Hell". Note: I was born, raised, and live in New Jersey, and my only connection to England is a genetic link by one of my grandparents that I never met. Nevertheless, you would be surprised at how many people think I am british when I say that, even if it's in full Jersey accent (no, not "Joyzee", that's just a misconception).

"For the love of crap": A secondary expletive I may employ, for when "Bloody hell" just isn't enough. Often used when people cut me off in traffic (aforementioned New Jersey has some of the most cutthroat drivers in the nation, while also having some of the nicest drivers at the same time)

"Footlocker": Based off an acronym of the above "For The Love Of CRap": FTLOCR, pronounced "footlocker".

Sometimes I will quote Dr. Evil: "How about no?", although I say it in my normal voice with no attempt to mimic Dr. Evil.

If I like something, I may say "Epic Win" (got that one from ytmnd).

I have been known to make up statistics (i.e. I will say "53.7% of all statistics are made up". Yes, that's an example, but replace the number and the statistic with whatever is necessary in the situation)

"Close the door": This stems on my philosophy on doors (doors are sections of wall to be folded away to allow passage through them, then are immediately re-closed). I get all pissed when people leave doors open (one of my aspie things... closest nt analogue would be how nt women get all pissed when men leave toilet seats up), and the first time that happens in a short period of time, I will say "close the door". Repeat offenders will be greeted with choicier wording ("I told you to close the door!" and "close the damn door.") Occasionally, this level of annoyance on my part will be followed by a "Bloody Hell", see above. If you continue, it will lead to a meltdown based on doors (i.e. "I TOLD YOU TO F*****G CLOSE THE G*****N DOORS YOU M**********R!! !! !!!1111oneone)

Awesome, I've started to say... Whoopsy Doodle... just beacuse it's absurd and my friends are a tad annoyed by it.

Since I've started to say it, I've caught a few friends doing saying it... they are very disturbed by this. To which I just laugh...

I've stolen a few phrases from TV, 'no problem' from ALF.

I say Boh' instead of Doh'... from The Simpsons of course. I also say 'eh, what are ya going to do'

I want to start saying 'lots of ins, lots of outs.' from the Big Lebowski.

I don't think I coin catch phrases, so much as inflections... I say hmm with a high pitch towards the end when I like something or am curious.

I can get people talking like me, it happened at my last job. It's very curious... I have an infectious personality or something...

Oh yes, I almost forgot one...

"...On a stick": A point of emphasis (i.e. "That's just stupid on a stick")

"fascinating" works so much better... say it with the inflection of Spock for bonus points...

erase.
