My pet phrase (that I nabbed from my not-so-sainted Mother, years ago) is, “I’d give my front seat in Hell…” It usually means I really would like to have, do, or see something really badly. I have a newer one I’ve recently adopted, having overheard my daughter pop out with it. She and a friend were talking, and obviously the friend said something that Daughter didn’t find at all interesting or enlightening. Friend rambled on (sorta like I’m doing now) and Daughter’s eyes rolled up in her head, she gave an exasperated sigh, and said, “This is ME…(pointing to her face)…NOT caring!” It was quite the hoot. I’ve been trying to find ways to use it ever since. ---

Exclamations: “Holy crap on a stick!” “What the Jesus?!” When I make an ass of myself: “It’s OK…I’m a professional.” When I get a failing test score: “This…this grade is in metric, right?” When completely confused and dumbfounded: “Ow…my face.” ---

lately I have been taken to saying “\_\_\_\_ as a kitten that only eats flowers” I have used it as an attempt to be romantic… “your as special and cute as a kitten that only eats flowers”… and as an insult “you are as weak as a kitten that only eats flowers, you could not hurt me” and used it everywhere inbetween. I also tend to describe foods with alot of layers as “high tech” and there is a certain kind of pastery I call a “baby bunny” ---

Welcome, **ezra** , and thanks for the Blazing Saddles reference. I always tell folks: “Don’t go changing” as I leave, or my all time favorite: “Don’t be doing anything.” Nicked from a bartender 15 years ago. “See ya, Joe” “Yeah, goddamma, goddamma, don’t be doin’ anything.” I also tell the receptionist to hold SOME of my calls. Nobody calls. It’s a joke. ---

Whenever I want to move my daughter along, I say “chop chop, Joe” which is only entertaining because her name is not Joe. Another Mommyism of mine is “buckle up, chuckles.” Other trademark phrases of mine: “…apropos of nothing…” when someone says something that is – well, apropos of nothing. “I’m sure you really do not want my undivided attention” when being nagged about something. “Holy Criminitly, Nutley” stolen from the cartoon version of Robin Hood. “I think you’re/he’s/she’s one of the Morans” because my husband misspelled moron once, and it became legend. ---

“What are the Magic Words?” It comes with being a parent to remind _everyone_ to say “Please” and “Thank you.” I got my comeuppance once at a former job from a 20-something who didn’t know the Magic Words. “Fuck you?” she asked. ---
