I almost always refer to friends or strangers as Doc. I call people Bub as well. Also, I use phrases used in LT's like, "What's all the hubbub, bub?" and "Something new has been added."

A lot of the catch phrases used in the Looney Tunes were taken from network radio., e.g. "Is that you, Mert? How's every little thing?" was taken from Fibber McGee and Molly.

Quite often I will use the remark, "Well. Now I''ve seen everything." and make like I'm blowing my brains out with my hand as a gun.

I also use, "Well, now I wouldn't say that....", and especially "D'OH!!!"

....plus I use sound effects a lot, that correspond with actions I'm making at the time (like "boink", "bee-yoop", "whup" and (emulating a -take-) "Woooooooooot!!!".

I say "sufferin' succotash" sometimes, and "d'oh" as well.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. ;) :D I usually make the "merrrrap" noise when I walk into a room.

And here I thought I was the only one who provided sound effects for his actions. My repetoire includes:

- That gobbly "yoiyoiyoiyoi" for any shaking motion
- "P-tchang" for when I run off somewhere unexpectedly
- "Boit" for when I open my eyes widely
- "Zurrap" for when I rush from one spot to another
- That "koi-ush" impact sound when I sit on something quickly

And as for phrases, I've added plenty of them to my vernacular. They're best done in the corresponding character's voices - if someone says something that irritates me, I turn to them with a look of exasperation and, in Daffy's voice, "You're deth-picable" (or the occasional Yosemite Sam "Ah hates you"). And similar to Larry T, one of my favorite bits is to say "Now I've seen everything!" or "Ehh...NOW he tells me!" and pretend to blow my brains out.

Calling someone stupid is frequently replaced with, "that boy is about as sharp as a bowling ball".

I use old chestnuts like "Hmmm, it's a possibility!", "What's up Doc?" & "He doesn't know me vewy well, do he?" - especially when talking with my brother, who totaly gets it. Sometimes we take off from there & recite whole sections of a favorite cartoon, but I don't recomend doing that around cartoon haters.

I quote Rocky and Bullwinkle & co alot. I will ocassionally burst into a room and exclaim "hello there culture gang!" I also like "Bacon, you'll fry for this" and "That should settle Bacon's hash!"- both Fractured Fairy Tale sayings. But my favorite is "Crushing logic" said by Mr. Peabody.:cool:
