Have any of you ever made up a catch phrase?

For me, "Shoes don't count."

You mean like "bite me?"

I once tried telling people that I coined the term "hair metal." They didn't buy it.

I invented Post-its.

Then we are all indebted to you, Southerngale!

The fun you can have with Post - its...

Who put bacon bits in your chicken lol

or

when I insult somebody I call them a dilapidated monkey doodle

I once said "flow with the go"....b/c well, I tend to do that - say the opposite of what I mean!!!

And I've never lived it down. If someone says it the correct way, my husband is always saying - they mean ....... don't they Mary? LOL

Mary

Can't say I've invented any, but I'm really good at plagiarizing!


My trademark phrase seems to be the sarcastic, one-eybrowed, "Ya THINK?"

Dave's is one borrowed from his Mom, "Don't you look at me in that tone of voice!"

Our neighbor Rocky has quite the south Texas accent that we rib him about all the time.

measure = mayzure
shallow water = shella watta
borrowed = barred
And years ago, well into one of our all-night happy-hour driveway party sessions that we're all too old to participate in now, "tree root" has permanently turned into "true reet".

I tend to say "Lovely!" a lot in a sarcastic way and I use the term "50 million" a lot. It usually means WAY less than 50 million.

Ah, but there's a difference between meh-zure and may-zure. It all has to do with context.

You meh-zure how much rain has fallen in the rain gauge.

You may-zure for a first down.

At least that's what life has taught me.

My fave is "Uh...thanks for sharing"...used mostly re: Coppertop.

I have a couple...

When I make a statement and then I realize I am incorrect or someone corrects me, I always say "Just kidding!".

And if something is crooked I always say that it is "squee squad".

"squee squad"? Wern't thet th' name of thet seagoin' whaler wat done in Cap'n Ahab?

Romy and Michelles high school re-union

I have so many catch phrases....

Most used by me at the moment, "thats Nasty"... normaly to my baby who is eating a 10 year old dust bunny or any other "nasty" thing she can find!

Instead of cussing... "aaaaaaahhhhhh floozelmiester"

and when my son interupts me when Im talking... "who flushed your chain", and bazillion, I use bazillion a lot.

I kinda come up with them as I go ... (generally when someone pisses me off at work, or somewhere else) ...

Something like (speaking about one of the other employees I work with) ... "they're just as clueless as Paris Hilton deciding on which fashion show to crash." or "Anna Nicole Smith has a better chance of winning on Jeopardy than (name left out) ever figuring out how to do some work around here."

oh, and the latest slam (pertaining to how plant operations at the main facility runs at this current time) ... there are those that know what they're doing, there are those that can at least figure out what to do once shown, and then we have our resident idiots at the plant that have to pee on the electric fence to get any ideas which still doesn't seem to do any good jogging those brain cells of theirs."

ROFL!!!

Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

Or...Dan, what's your frequency?

(Referring to that time someone was stalking Dan Rather)...

As with Miss Mary (wonder if its the Mary thing?) I seem to say things backasswards as in:

When it's hot in a room, I open a window to get " A Fresh of Breath Air".

My mother-in-law doesn't cuss so when she gets really angry she says "Christopher Columbus" and if she is really really mad, she says "and Magellin too!"
