What catch phrases DO you like?

[Blackberry]

Trendy or otherwise is fine.

I like "joke's on you" when it doesn't really apply, as in, "Joke's on you, highway patrol, because I'm not speeding."

[Lanzy]

I stick to the classics like "Pound Sand" or "FOAD" although there are a lot of times my grandaughter says, "That's what she said", that crack me up.

[The Hamster King]

Right now I'm partial to saying "Look at that <thing>!" followed by "I work out!"

My kids hate it.

[Rachellelogram]

"_____ ALL the things!" It's both a meme and a catchphrase, which originated on Hyperbole and a Half. The original was "Clean ALL the things!" It's fun to say, just fill in the blank with any verb. It's a meme lib!

"Sit on it!" from Happy Days. I guess I haven't heard it enough for it to get old.

[Becky2844]

I just posted this in the other thread where it probably didn't belong:

Son and friend came up with an idea to get rich, and his friend said, "We could make tens of dollars!"

[manila]

"Give your head a shake!"

Now morphed into " Give your head a wobble!"

[QuarkChild]

I don't use it myself, but I like "bring it."

[ducati]

My new favorite shirt...

[FloatyGimpy]

I like "Say whaaaat?!" as said by Stewie Griffin.

[Qadgop the Mercotan]

"If you can't do the time, don't do the crime."

[Celidin]

My new favorite is "I heard that about you", a variation on "that's what she said!"

I especially like to use it when it makes no sense whatsoever.

Wow, I use that all the time. I didnt even know others did.

Others I use

FUBAR - fucked up beyond all recognition

PDU - poor dumb user

Im laughing at you, not with you (for some reason, this one pisses people off)

When people start any statement with "I think", I will respond with, "I disagree with the first two words of your statement'. Most are confused when I say that too, ironic.

Out of the gene pool please....

[Prelude to Fascination]

About forty years ago, I watched a teleplay version of Kurt Vonnegut's stories: Between Time and Timbuktu. I also had the book in script form, and toward the end, astronaut/poet Stony Stevenson is in NYC, and meets up with a bum. Stony tells the guy about his adventures in time and space, and the bum says, "That's the saddest story I ever heard."

So sometimes, when someone tells me about their day, I'll say, "That's the saddest story I ever heard," just to screw with them.

Other times I'll say, "Yes? And?" or "So what can we learn from that?" when they've finished their stories.

[Qadgop the Mercotan]

SOCMOB.

Standing on corner, minding own business. It's what my patients were always doing just before they got beaten/shot/stabbed by "these guys" etc.

I bet that goes over really well at your workplace And who said doctors don't have a sense of humor and good bedside manner?

I'm half trying to keep the "let's go down to the quarry and throw shit in there" one alive a but a certain poster here aint paying me enough.

[HMS Irruncible]

Any time anyone asks me any question... "so it's come to this."

After someone's related a humorous anecdote, a beat after the punchline... "and then what happened?"

[JKellyMap]

"Are we having fun yet?". From Zippy the Pinhead.

"Meanwhile, back at the ranch...", when someone or something is taking its sweet time. Also, "Whenever the spirit moves you!"

"My name is wartz?", from Being John Malkovich.

Always loved the perfect imagery of "barking up the wrong tree".

Note the thread title. I love hearing that one. I don't think I've ever said it to a patient. But I've heard my patients say it hundreds of times by now.

[Ethilrist]

"So that's what the kids are calling it these days."

"If you know what you're doing, it's not an adventure."

"Guess I picked a bad week to quit drinking."

[John Mace]

Butthurt. Even better: Butthurtedness

[eenerms]

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Taking the dirt nap

[billfish678]

Tits Up!

[Jophiel]

"Good 'nuff for government work" any time I half-ass something.

[Autolycus]

It has to either be applied extremely judiciously or extremely rampantly, no middle ground, but I still like "That's what she said," because I am apparently 12.

[Yumblie]

"Let's blow this taco stand."

Most often used when leaving from places that are not a taco stand.

[koeeoaddi]

Bob's your uncle.

[XRaeth]

It's a conspiracy!

[Blank Slate]

Said really fast: let me think about that for a minute no.

Kids hate it, for some reason.

[olivesmarch4th]

That just raises further questions! (from Futurama) I swear to Og sometimes half of our conversation is composed of various Futurama quotes.

You had a _______, its name was Stampy. (From the Simpsons, when Bart says he wants an elephant and Lisa reminds him of a previous episode in which he had one.)

This has become so common in our household that now, when I lose something, I mope, "Its name was Stampy."

From my husband, when he's frustrated with me: ''I'm going to fire you out of a cannon." Alternate versions include, ''Prepare the cannon."

[Philster]

My new one is, "Beats having a 100 pound scrotum".

[Vinyl Turnip]

I thought I was about to coin the catchphrase "Booth shot first!" but... well, damn you, Internet.

[voguevixen]

"It's on like Donkey Kong."

Nobody over 18 is going to get that.

[China Guy]

You gotta be dry humpin' me, man

[Doug K.]

Borrowed (and slightly paraphrased) from "The Black Widow" by Alice Cooper:

"These words she speaks are true."

Typical usage:

Daughter: I hurt my foot!

Mom: I told you you shouldn't go outside barefoot.

Me: These words she speaks are true.

[echo7tango]

Ones I like to use are:

"Six of one, half a dozen of the other."

"Don't get all wrapped around the axle."

"What a goat rope."

"Clear as mud?"

"You snooze, you lose."

"Who said life was fair?"

[Koxinga]

This is a thing?

[Ken001]

"Talk to the Hand"

"Read my lips"

"How about No! Is No good for you?"

"Sorry - is this the Five Minute Argument or the Full Half Hour?".

[Alpha Twit]

"Go die!" Used when I'm feeling both annoyed and playful.

"Stay out of trouble -- or don't get caught" is my usual parting phrase.

"Is the hamster still on the wheel?" I use this when I'm dealing with someone exceptionally thick headed. For added effect, look in their ear while asking them.

[jabiru]

"Quittin' time"

[oreally]

None. For me these can be categorized into two groups: the bearable ones and the make-my-teeth-grind ones. The latter group is easily bigger. I'm esp. tired of "baby talk" (like "peeps") and turning nearly every phrase or idea into an acronym or other "text-ese" gibberish. The worst part is when they become so popular that every mindless trend whore in sight latches onto them like a moth to flame. At work, "I know, right?" and starting every sentence with the word "so" are all the rage. I swear I've been this close to flying across a table and ripping somebody's throat out numerous times. Come on kiddies, can we cut the cutesiness and speak English now please?

Hm - looks like I really need that first cup of coffee now

[kayaker]

He really got his jimmies rustled.

[echo7tango]

Another: RTFM, as in read the freakin' manual (or, instructions).

:leaps across table:



Once in a great while I'll use a few of the old military standbys like SNAFU and FUBAR. And the BUFF is still the best bomber ever. (OK that's not really a catch phrase, sorry)

[echo7tango]

(Backing away from the table)

You want the truth?! You can't handle the truth!

Yes, the BUFF is amazing. Boeing built a timeless winner there. I love how it takes off flat.

[oreally]

I almost typed "lol." I beg forgiveness. I need to browse the internet less :scared:

[echo7tango]

No worries, dude, it's all good and was all meant lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek. Hope we're cool.

[etv78]

Classic!

[Bilbo1967]

My favourite is, "Scunthorpe are doing well".

[Knorf]

"Let's all go down to the quarry and throw things down there!"
