| Some have one. Just comes from the gut. When I was a kid I would often have the world "actually" beginning the sentence that at times it would piss off a lot of people believing that I was trying to be a smartass.
These days I've uttering one word more often than not. "Darn". I have no idea how or when it started, it's just something I would throw out whenever I get frustrated and such. When I got really pissed off I would say "Darner darn DARN!". I'd throw so much passion and anger in them they might as well become obscenities. Until recently though. Now when I do get pissed off/frustrated over something I'll now utter "GOSH DARN MOTHERFUCKER!"
I would have thought this was because of watching too many Jimmy Stewart flicks but I have yet to utter "golly!" |

| "Cool beans." I say it about once a minute. I used to work with this guy and we'd basically communicate in our respective catchphrases. "Cool beans." "Party." |

"Cheers" "Fuck" "C-nt" Einstein could have easily communicated his Special Theory of Relativity with those five words. Nothing else really need be said. |

| I say cool bananas, and it's usually said in a sarcastic tone. Oh and I say "no worries" every so often. |

| "Lumme" and "I don't wish to know that" -trying, it seems, to bring back Navy Lark/Goon Show phrases back
"Mother of Christ", best used when seeing how crowded the Central Line is
and a host of others/ |

| I go through phases with different various phrases, but I feel like right now, my most common phrase is "Four legs for a reason!" whenever one of my students decides to lean their chair back. I should just let them fall over one day..... |

| After recapping an event or story for someone, I always end with, "So... that's the scooperooni." Or just, "And that's the scoop." I was an old newspaper editor in a past life it would seem. I'm also in a new habit of saying, "Honeeeeeeey!" in a really whinging way when my hubby winds me up and I think he's not paying attention. I can also be heard saying, "Nononoonononononononononnooooo," to the cat. |

Combine sarcasm with education, and tell them "Four legs good - two legs bad" :D I tend to say "I don't give a flying monkey's toss" quite often. I have no idea where I got it from, and little idea what it means, but it serves some purpose. Otherwise, most of today has been spent muttering "Fucking lying gobshite bastard....." |

I can't believe I haven't thought of it.... <---loving that emoticon at this moment. Apparently I also say "I reckon" a lot. I get made fun of, but it's fun to say. And I reckon I'm Texan, ya'll. |

Combine sarcasm with education, and tell them "Four legs good - two legs bad" : I think everyone else should know that this is Ravenstone and myself's approach to the art of sex. I'll be sure to have it engraved on your tomb. |

Ambler's fine either way. I was screwing Sting's wife the other day and had all limbs off the ground. This tantric sex thing has really got me flying. What was this thread about again? Ah. Recurring phrases. I tend to overuse 'terminate with extreme prejudice' when I'm watching anything involving Jamie Oliver. |

| I get quite a few 'phone calls where people say either 'basically' or 'obviously' every other word. "Basically, my partner moved in and basically I told you about this and basically I need to know - basically - what I need to do - basically - basically, to get my benefts back in payment. Basically."
I do it back to them. "Well, basically the first thing you need to do - basically - is fill in a new claim form,basically, and basically provide all the evidence and information requested, basically, and basically, we'll reassess your entitlement, basically, and reinstate your benefit. Basically."
You can hear them thinking - "Is she taking the piss????"
And of course - basically - I am.
I tend to say 'frankly' a lot though. To be frank. |

| My pet irk is people who like, drop the word "like" in every other word, like.
Just because you say "like" so often doesn't mean people will "like" you any more... |

| Satorious, it's at least good to know that Vancouver is not the only city with that illness. Combining "like" with the "I don't know" and the "ya know" makes me want to bang my head against the wall.
Heard on the skytrain the other day (and on every bit of transit on every other day too):
So, like ya know I was down at like the mall and like I don't know like Kent was gonna like meet me cuz like I don't know he needs like new boots ya know. So like he gets there and he's like wanna eat something? and I'm like don't you like need boots? and he's I don't know like ya but I'm like hungry or something ya know. So I'm like well I don't know ya know like I just sort of like ate.

| I listened in fascinated horror to an entire telephone conversation in Smiths once, where every other word seemed to be 'like'. Honestly. It was as though she were channeling Vicky Pollard "And I was like - uh - and she was like yeah well whatever and he was like wah? and I was like well yeah like and he was like - kuh...." :shock:
I feel old. |
