It has to either be applied extremely judiciously or extremely rampantly, no middle ground, but I still like “That’s what she said,” because I am apparently 12. ---

“Let’s blow this taco stand.” Most often used when leaving from places that are not a taco stand. ---

That just raises further questions! (from Futurama) I swear to Og sometimes half of our conversation is composed of various Futurama quotes. You had a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, its name was Stampy. (From the Simpsons, when Bart says he wants an elephant and Lisa reminds him of a previous episode in which he had one.) This has become so common in our household that now, when I lose something, I mope, “Its name was Stampy.” From my husband, when he’s frustrated with me: ''I’m going to fire you out of a cannon." Alternate versions include, ''Prepare the cannon." ---

Borrowed (and slightly paraphrased) from “The Black Widow” by Alice Cooper: “These words she speaks are true.” Typical usage: Daughter: I hurt my foot! Mom: I told you you shouldn’t go outside barefoot. Me: These words she speaks are true. ---

Ones I like to use are: “Six of one, half a dozen of the other.” “Don’t get all wrapped around the axle.” “What a goat rope.” “Clear as mud?” “You snooze, you lose.” “Who said life was fair?” ---

“Go die!” Used when I’m feeling both annoyed and playful. “Stay out of trouble – or don’t get caught” is my usual parting phrase. “Is the hamster still on the wheel?” I use this when I’m dealing with someone exceptionally thick headed. For added effect, look in their ear while asking them. ---
