In-crudding-feckable.
I don’t need to invent new all-purpose words.
“Aloha” and “shalom” already are.
During practice, she’ll randomly start spouting lines from it…
“When I get nervous, I stick my hands under my arms like this, and then I smell them.!”
“Superstar!”
“[some schpiel about breasts starts this quote out, but I forgot half the line]…the left one is bigger, 'cause it’s the mommy, and this one’s the baby! [more silly nonsense]”
One girl on our team can quote verbatim lines from the movie and has never seen it.
My brother and I use “narf” frequently. And somehow “narfblat” strikes me as a comic strip sound - perhaps out of Bloomy County? It sounds very Opus. I’ve heard it before.
A favorite exclamation, if not a word, is “damnation and hellfire!”
Gr8kat: Good to know another Greg Proops fan. IIRC, the “But why, Greg, why?” bit comes from his dissection of why white people never came up with any good dancing music. Totally freakin’ hilarious.
My all-purpose word, back in junior high, was “marginal.” This was when the Valley Girl word “tubular” was making the rounds; I decided I needed my own version, and for some now unfathomable reason I hit on “marginal.” Could mean good or bad, depending on context, and I’m sure I drove the people around me insane. One day I suddenly figured out it was lame, and I just stopped using it.
Nowadays, the generic word that pops out of my mouth at essentially random intervals is “fuckmonkey.” Don’t ask me where this came from, either, except that it has something to do with the basic principle that everything is funnier if you add a “monkey” to it.
I use this one too. It is my favorite. I aslo use grunge in many contexts, and boss as an adverb.
“Random”
Maybe.
