Reciting and Repeating Lines and Words

Post Reply New Topic

I repeat movie lines constantly. I also sing silly songs all day. Some songs are made up, but most of the time I replace words and phrases on existing songs and make them funny. I also have a thing where I call our dog by anything but his real name. He is a toy poodle and his name is Ty but I insist on calling him by obscure and formal names and come up with a new one every day. Some examples are: Geoffrey Livingstone, Cornelius Saulisbury, and Curtis O'Reardon. My wife can't wait to see what I am calling him next.

I repeat myself a lot, both intentionally and unintentionally. I also recite lines from movies I like several times every day.

I do that alot myself I may not repeat them you know over and over but if a quote or saying is really funny I bring it up again at a random time usually because I am in a silly mood and already laughing lol.

We have a sun conure named Indie and Ill end up repeating his name just to hear him laugh or ill use his nickname chachi bird or chuck bird and say it repeatedly because ive noticed that when you say things over and over to him he gives the funniest look then Ill laugh then he laughs. Its like a game.

Sometimes even with my fiance we call each other chuck or chachi (big inside joke) and sometimes I will say it over and over again just to hear him go what and then ill say hi or i love you. He does the same back when hes in a silly mood.

Yes, I do this too! Mostly with words that I like the sound of

Something else I do is, if I'm writing a post on a forum or Facebook or something and I find what I'm writing to be funny, I say it out loud to myself and laugh. Does anyone else do this? And I ALWAYS go back and reread my posts, 2 or 3x, just so I can remember exactly what I wrote and so that I can hear my own voice in those words.

I do this a lot too. I also think out loud all the time, I like the sound of a voice.

I do this.

MIne are as Verandi described above. Seemingly random phrases that will pop out when I'm alone (usually the bathroom). They may have some origin in movie quotes but I suspect that some do not. They may subtly change over the years but I havent tracked them closely. I am often left wondering why I just said one of them. They seem to have a dramatic element to them:

"I'm the last of my kind" being one that I remember. I'd say there are half a dozen that reliably pop up.

I do this heaps also! I usually do it in connection with something though. Someone will say a word or a phrase, or I'll be thinking, and then it'll link into a movie/TV quote/song lyric or something along those lines, and then I will repeat that and continue with the next lines, etc. It must come across as very weird but I just can't help it lol I got in big trouble once in high school when some teacher said a line that was a quote from a play we were learning and I repeated it loudly and she got very angry with me because she thought I was being rude towards her lol I was mortified when she told me off as I didn't realise what I had done! lol
I love saying things with different accents also.

My kids do that. I hope as they grow they'll have more things to say for themselves. I find it kinda annoying. I try to not do that, although I sing a lot. I guess that's kinda similar. I'm saying (singing) words written by others. They aren't myown thoughts, and can be totally not applicable to current situation.

I tend to do this as well, for a couple of different reasons.

Sometimes a word will just feel good in my mouth (like, say, "delicious") and I'll repeat it so that I can feel it in my mouth again (maybe this is what Gollum was up to with all of his "my preciousssss" business!)

Other times, if I'm doing something and someone comes up unexpectedly and starts talking to me, I'll repeat what they're question back before answering. I think this is because I'm a slow thinker, and it buys me a few seconds during which my mind is frantically racing, trying to figure out what it is they want. (them: "where do we keep the extra copier paper?" me:"hmmm..wheeeere do we keep the extra copier paper...I think it's in the filing cabinet in the office")

And once in a while a turn of phrase will just seem to appropriate or evoke such strong imagery that I'll adopt it. About a month ago I asked my hubby if there was any mail and he said "not a lick." Now every day if there's no mail, I'll happily buzz around saying "no mail, not a lick!"

I repeat lines from movies and TV shows all the time too, mostly ones that I find funny, but sometimes other lines too.

I used to do this, but I stopped when I was about ten.
