[QUOTE=Larry Mudd]  
\<snip\>I also use “Woohoo! I am masturbating like a motherfuck!” as a general expression of enthusiasm, although only amongst my closest friends.

I often give people [The Lood](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=318799&highlight=lood) (see ~posts 14 and 15).

Everytime someone says “the horror!” I think [“The horror…of blimps.”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=160851)

Also the previously mentioned, “Is that a leg?”

I have adopted “Og” into my everyday vocabulary. It’s perfect! Even non-religious people use common expressions like “God damn it!” and “Thank God!” without meaning them literally. “Og” now allows me to do that without making people think I actually believe in God.\* And people seem to know just what I mean.

\*You know how some people hate being perceived as something they’re not – gay, for example? I’m sort of that way with religion. I find it mildly offensive when people assume I share their superstitions, and I hasten to set them straight.

I can’t find a link, but someone started a thread about a woman having 10 children who was living in a one bedroom apartment. Somone else posed “Lady, it’s a vagina, not a clown car.”

I’ve used the phrase too, having to deal with single mothers who think it is a clown car.
