View Full Version : your catch phrase...

My professors have distinct things that they say...
Dr. J, my chem professor always says "blah blah blah THEN CAN WE NOT SAY... blah blah"
Brooks, my old math prof... says "well, WE DON'T KNOW... just don't know how to do it that way"
Sagawa-sensei, my Japanese teacher... constantly says "Mou ichidou" which means... "repeat."
I find myself saying the words, "interesting," and "fascinating..." and "hilarious."

I say "excellent" quite a bit.
I also say "I got nothing" and "Aww forget it" when I don't have anything to say.
When people tell me they did this or went to see this I say "How was that for ya?"
I had a geography professor who wanted to make sure everyone was on the "same sheet of music."
Excellent.

I have developed some personal catch phrases lately. I've always responded "affirmative" and "negative" if asked questions (not always, but usually) and lately I've been adding, "That would be an affirmative" and "That would be a negative" in response to questions.
There are various catch phrases I pick up for different reasons that make more sense if you understand the circumstances that birthed the catch phrases. But another I've been using for quite a while is to respond with the word "adequate" when asked how I am doing.
Most catch phrases I develop are for a season and are usually more of in jokes than anything else.
Since I started watching startrek I have been known to say "Aye" and "Aye sir" a lot
Also my imitation of the Jokers "RRRRRIght" from ROTJ
and then there is my semi translated version of " I can accept that" from a joke that was hillarious in Danish...ppl here don't understand the real meaning but I say it nevertheless
I had some teacher s saying a lot of phrases but they are untranslateable or I simply don't remember them right now...it's late

Aside from constantly quoting Kevin Smith Movies..."Say, would you like a chocolate pretzel?!"..
When someone explains something to me, or rants...I have the habit of saying "That sounds about right".
And when something out of the ordinary is said, or they don't make sence, I make this "what?" kind of..SOUND...hmm..lets see if it can be typed..."Bwaahhuuu?!" Hehe...people like that noise.

Hey, Fish, another one I use from time to time when people ask me how I am is to say, "I am functioning within normal paramaters." Three guesses where that's from!
Another thing I've been using lately in response to people who use poor grammar, if somebody asks me if they CAN use something (ie, "Can I use your pen?") rather than asking with the proper MAY I, I respond with, "I don't know. Do you have the motor capabilities required to perform such a task?" Then I let them know they MAY use my pen, or whatever it may be. I don't know if anybody is annoyed by it yet, but I have gotten a few laughs from it.

I like your avatar and you seem fairly intelligent, but I think it's safe to say we would not get along in real life. I would rather write in my own BLOOD than rephrase the pen question for you. WHY DO YOU DO THAT TO PEOPLE? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
There are probably things I say often, but I don't think my stupid little one-word responses necessarily count as catch phrases. There's something I always say during conversation pauses when my friends and I are around new people, but I think posting it here would be a terrific way for me to get banned. Same goes for what I say to my friend when we're at a public place and I notice strangers eavesdropping. Trust me though, it's funny.

I used to compare the weather with fish.
Like,"it's colder than a dead fish out here."
or "it's hotter than a dead fish on fire."
And I used to replace all my curse words with the word "cactus."
ie. "Son of a cactus" etc
Lately, I've used "sweet as sugar pie" and I continuously make up words to replace my curses. Not because I'm a prude or anything, but because sometimes the stuff I come up with is either downright hilarious or downright psycho. ;)

Well, Terminatah, I guess it's all in the demeanor and tone, cuz I do it in a way that makes people laugh, not in a condescending way. I don't make anybody rephrase anything, btw. I just rephrase the question asked, "Yes you may" is what I say when they ask if they can. I don't add that "Do you have the motor capablities required to perform such a task" to just anybody, just to people who I feel can take my dry sense of humor. And like I said, I guess it's all in the tone and demeanor. I guess if you don't know how I say it, it's all up to interpretation on how it could come across. Which is why I don't post many of my catch phrases on here that are in jokes, cuz unless you hear the tone and know the demeanor in which they are used, they just won't make much sense. For example, "whatever." Well, I know many different ways that you can say that one word, so if somebody says that's their catch phrase, well, how do they say it? That means more than the word itself because how you say it determines how it's taken by the listener.
Another one I found myself using today that I realize now I've been using more frequently is to say, "That's an astute observation" when somebody states the quite obvious. And again, it's all in the demeanor. I guess I have yet to make an enemy yet with my humor.
PS-Hey, Terminatah, I accidently hit "edit/delete" when I wanted to reply to your post, so if you're wondering why it looks slightly different than before, I had to go back and fix it. THANK GOD I was able to go back on my browser to find your original post. I was so worried I had lost it. Man, I was confused when I thought I was posting my own message to see your name and avatar by my words. I really apologize about that.

When Nightflower is confused: "Dwa?"
When Nightflower exclaims: "Ike!"
When Nightflower says "yes" or "no": "Aye", "Nein" (People who talk to me in instant messengers may notice this)
Nightflower's quote: (See below post for signature. It works on so many levels!)
Nightflower says a lot: "Dude"
Nightflower uses as an adjective to describe many things: "sexy" (eg "Isn't this sexy weather we've been having lately?")

I get on ppl's nerves when I constantly say "It's all (someone's) fault" and "Are we having fun yet?"

Some of my common catch phrases:
"Jiminey christmas"
"agreed" (like when Riker says something and Picard just says 'agreed')
"son of a...!" (without the curse at the end)
"oh well" (showing lack of interest or care for a comment or situation)
"Samsonite! I was waaay off" (quote by Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber used when I was, well, way off)
also from Dumb and Dumber:
"So you're telling me there's a chance!"
"Take 'er easy" (ending of numerous phone conversations)
many more where those came from...

If I ask someone something, and they say "I don't know", I usually reply: "Neither do I. That's why I asked you!" It's a terrible habit.....
And whenever someone becomes suspicious of me for whatever reason: "Whaaaaaaaat?"
And, when *I'm* suspicious of someone, it's either "Riiiiiight." or "Uh-huh. Goodnight!"

-"Dig it."
-"Sweeeeeeeet."
-"Kick ass."
-"I have alot of luck...it's just all bad."
-"There are always options. Most of them just suck."
-"Aw, crap."
-"Son of a motherless goat."
-"[bleep] on a shingle."
-"Eeeee."

I say "That's cool" way too often. And whenever my boss asks me about anything my first response is "I didn't do it!"
Bluntman
01-14-2002, 11:30 PM
My usual catchphrases are:
"Dude"
"That's #$$%%# up"
"DOH!!!!"
"I'm here to bring a message.......................a message of paaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiin!!!!!!!"
"WHAT?"
"Excuse me while I whip this out"
"Are you on crack?!?"

LOL!!!!! Oh man. I have to say my favorites have been Nightflower's, Silverknight's, and The Penguin's!! Hilarious! Anyway, my turn. Consider these vaguely in order from most used to least, I suppose:
-Oh boy... (to indicate a situation that can otherwise be described as "wholey poop!! Things are getting funky!!")
-Oh my. (Same as above, except with a bit less energy behind it)
-Good gravy!! (That's right, the Simpsons)
-Wow, that's pretty funky. (for weird things)
-[insert naughty one] (I won't post it, ask me about it)
-Oh my stars! (That's right, Ned Flanders. I use it for like an "oh my god!!" situation that really isn't serious, so that's my sarcastic reply)
There are probably a few more, but I don't think they're too significant. If I remember any that are worth it I'll come back, edit, and tell ya I edited. :)

I found some more!
"How fun is this?"
"Well, speak of the devil!"
"Indeed."
"That's the American way!" *sarcastic*
--- "if you don't [insert action here], you're letting the terrorists win!" <- sorry if this offends anyone... but that phrase has become very trite... as in 'if you don't go to McDonalds and buy a Big Mac to stimulate the economy, you're letting the terrorists win!" *sarcastic*
Me and my friends also say "outs!" (you have to hear it) in place of "ouch!" and "oh, gosss!" for "oh gosh." Don't ask me why.
I am also susceptible to "Fobbing out." It's when your Asian accents magically comes out even though you've been born and raised in America...
Friend: I got a descrambler!
Me: Oh, you hab (have) illegal?
LightAngel
01-15-2002, 12:13 PM
I always thought I had my own language.
"Bah!"-good to say when you're frustrated
I also add -ness to almost every descriptive thing I say
"Curses" and calling something "Evil" also serve to express extreme frustration
"Demon Child"-used to describe bratty children
Then speaking in Spanish to thoughs who don't understand it is always fun!

"D'oh!" and "Aw, dammit" are two of my favorites.
Calhoun07
01-15-2002, 04:59 PM
After that one, I have to add one of my personal favorites that I have used ever since I saw Beavis and Butthead Do America: "Dammit, Beavis." Always said in the voice of Butthead, of course!
Bluntman
01-21-2002, 02:44 PM
I just thought of some other ones:
"Judas Preist"- always siad in a Perry Whiteish voice
"Mercyful Fate"- again in Perry Whiteish voice
"Buhda would pimp slap you"
"Fetch me my long sword"
"Don't make me call forth the demon"
"When does the hurting stop?"
"Hug my nuts"
"Whoop De Freakin' Do!!!!"
These are for special occasions and stressful situations. Please use them with extreme caution. Thank you.
