In a pit thread someone\* told a poster that he was “cordially invited to sit on my dick and spin.” Still cracks me up. \*The post must have gotten culled when the old ones were removed, so no link. ---

[QUOTE=pravnik] One phrase has always stuck with me. I can’t find it for the life of me now, but it was something like: “Do not underestimate me because I have cats and dress well. I was a marine and I can kill you.” [/QUOTE] That one came from **thinksnow**. ---

[QUOTE=tdn] Glurge made its first appearance on snopes long before it showed up here. [/QUOTE] Glurge was actually coined by the irrepressible \*\*patch \*\* (Pat Chapin) from the UL mailing list. Ask Barbara Mikkelson, and she’ll confirm this. ---

This exclamation was from way back in 1999, but I don’t recall who said it: " **Chocolate Christ on a cookie cross!"** I thought it was hilarious and I’ve used it a few times, as well as **asshat** (which doesn’t sound as good spoken as I’d hoped), **squee!** , **glurge** , and **bullshit meter**. I just picked up “ **douche-hawk** ” from another board, in reference to Sanjaya’s ponytail-mohawk from American Idol…but y’all can use it if you’d like. 😉 ---

“Very vaguely creepy.” It’s the perfect encapsulization of a common and familiar feeling, and it didn’t exist until the so-titled and now-classic thread. (Anybody have a link? The search engine is being persnickety.) ---

Someone on this board once described the act of cleaning himself after a bowel movement as being like trying to get peanut butter out of carpet, and that phrase has never left me. Alas, neither has the image the phrase conjures up. ---

The word “fuckchop,” first used, I believe, bu **jarbabyj** (back when that was her username – I can’t remember what she goes by now). [QUOTE=Sister Vigilante] “Is that a leg?” Enough said. [/QUOTE] Hey thanks! 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Dung Beetle] Well, thank you very much, **Knead**! I hadn’t seen that one. 🙂 [/QUOTE] My pleasure. One of the funnest things that ever happened to me online was one day when I Googled my SDMB user name and found (among scores of bad baking humor) a site where someone had listed some of their favorite quotes which included not one but two things I had said here. ---

[QUOTE=mlerose] Any reference to the Duggar family, and I think “Lady, it’s a vagina, not a clown car,” which I believe was coined by **Guinastasia**. [/QUOTE] Not just the Duggar family – this has become my stock phrase for any pathologically prolific people. (Although it is stuck in my head as “It’s a _vagina_, lady, not a clown car.”) I also use “Woohoo! I am masturbating like a motherfuck!” as a general expression of enthusiasm, although only amongst my closest friends. ---

[QUOTE=mlerose] (snip) “Lady, it’s a vagina, not a clown car,” . [/QUOTE] I just cracked my forehead on the desk laughing at that one! I have no idea what the hell it means, but it’s a scream.
