Unknown Catch Phrases
« on: June 24, 2007, 08:02:39 PM »
....Yes.. What are some unknown catch phrases which you yourself find particularly funny, which help you get through your day?  Maybe they're from a movie or a tv show, or maybe they're from your own real life, such as a former boss I once had who was throwing me cases of frozen waffles at the grocery store's back freezer, saying with the seriousness of an investment banker, "Homestyle.  Regler'.  Buttermilk.  Homestyle.  Homestyle.  Buttermilk.  Regler'.  Regler'.  Regler'.  Homestyle.  Buttermilk.  Regler'...." (regler' = oklahoman for regular..)

..or maybe you, like me, enjoy small quotes from movies which haven't made it quite yet as far as "Here's Johnny!" or "You talkin' to me?"..

...For example I from time to time think of "A Fish Called Wanda" when the Nietzsche-loving guy played by Kevin Kline said in some forgettable scene "I'm disappointed!!" when a character in a lesser movie might have angrily killed someone...  <= understand, I'm not saying the movie is great, but that snippet is certainly worth remembering and planting in your internal discourse to make your day move along a bit more smoothly, psychologically... 

...I bet you all have some good ones to share...

i say "I've made a terrible mistake" (arrested development) after i realize i've made a big mistake.

but maybe that's no so uncommon.

I was saying this for awhile, but then I was re-watching the series and realized it's actually "I've made a huge mistake." For some reason, "I've made a terrible mistake" sticks better with me. I guess it's kind of like how the phrase "Luke, I am your father" never actually appeared in any Star Wars film. Which brings me to this:

Whenever the light turns from red to green in my favor, I pump my fist at the now-stopped traffic stream and say:

"Now it's my time to shine."

Pretty much anything from this movie
[youtube=425,350]sNXF2UEGDqI[/youtube]
but especially:
I want you inside me.
... like Playboy titties.
McKinley and Ben! This is for you!
Oh, fuck my cock.
I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

Lots of em, but one for now:

"Oh, my back.  I think I pulled it."

or...

"Perhaps a smaller rock."
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

I've been reading Wodehouse lately and the one that he uses that I like is: "Tight as an owl." It means drunk. I'm not sure what makes owls tight though.
See God, Kai

you'd figure that an animal that has to poop ripping bone balls would be pretty loose.

In this clip from the Human Giant Marathon, Fabrice Fabrice (The Beast From the East) says, in response to a caller from Miami, "Ay! Bienvenidos a Miami" or something like that.

http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1560033&vid=149988

Since the day I saw that clip, every time I hear someone mention Miami, I hear Fabrice Fabrice saying it in my head. Or, if I'm alone, I say it aloud and giggle.

Bing bong!

(PS. Fondue with cheddar)

That's from that horrible Will Smith song. Miamians love any song that mentions Miami. It's true. I got my friend to play "Fuck Me Pumps" by Any Wino in a club one night -- OVERNIGHT SENSATION.

The one I ACTUALLY say is:

"A human ear?"

But the one I WISH I said is:

"You know what a love letter is?"

I used to work with a guy who always used to agree with whatever the foreman said, and he would always say "That is true, Stan, that is true."

I heard it so often I say it a lot now

I've been using the phrase "It's just a fact," regarding anything that's obviously true.

I got it from this guy:

Yep, it's the worst song ever. And here's the source:




NSFPD! It's just a fact.

One hundred and ten times harder?  That's a difficult thing to guarantee.  That person seems pretty specific.

A spam email guarantees that I can "shoot up to 13 feet."  a) I'm not sure how useful that would be and b) why can't I shoot up to 14 feet?  Why am I limited to a baker's dozen?
