Steal one’s thunder
Sad, yet funny story.

I have an affinity for words with excessive consonants; words like ‘rhythm’ just fascinate me for some reason.
A favorite phrase: Carpe cerevisi: seize the beer.
Related: Some people’s taste is all in their mouths.
That brought a chuckle outta me. Too bad it probably needs to be explained often (including to me).
When he’s in Rome,…they do as he does.
Words: Lambent, Yclept, and parsimonious. They all strike me as sounding like what they are. Softly lit, also named, and cheap.
Recently, I saw this on Reddit. “He puts the pro in procrastination.”
Another of my favorite military terms: TGIF, a concept invented by the Royal Canadian Air Force. Cite

I don’t care what anyone says about it, I originated the expression “Have a good one.” I always thought “Have a good day” was stupid. I’ve never had a totally good day in my entire life. But even the worse days have some good in them, even if it’s only a cup of coffee or a hot bath.
I started using it. And about a year later, someone told me “Have a good one.” My jaw dropped open, and now I hear it a lot.
I feel like I know someone famous now!
Words/phrases I use frequently: Not my circus, not my monkeys. Copacetic, Fucking Fuck fer Fuck, Get bent!.
And whenever anyone says something about having a bad day, I tell them “You had a bad moment. I don’t let bad moments become bad days.”
My google-fu has failed me. I love this quote, but I can’t remember who is supposed to have said it and I can’t tease an answer out of google.
Journalism is the writing on the back of the adverts.
I sort of half think it was George Bernard Shaw or someone like that. Anybody help?

Reminds me of one we used to use at work:
“He puts the ‘funk’ in ‘dysfunction’.”
I’ve always been fond of, “I’d rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.”
When I’m trying to force myself out of bed after too little sleep, I’ll quote Warren Zevon to myself: “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”
Some people are like Slinkies, totals useless, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
“But I am a robot!” - my reaction every time I get one of those annoying “Prove you’re not a robot” things online.
Oh, and crepuscular if we are sharing favorite words. (having to do with twilight)
I wouldn’t have lasted two seconds in the Marines, but thanks to my brother, I’ve gotten fond of: “You improvise. You adapt. You overcome.” (At least I think that’s the order it goes in)
