Hi everyone,I was just wondering....... I've noticed recently that lots of people have a certain sentance/catchphrase that they use regularly, for example I have a friend who, when ever he says Goodbye to people he also says 'And don't burn the sausages!' .....has anyone go any cool things that they say, or know people who say things like this, or perhaps something a bit more prefound!?Just curious smile

Alright, this one dates waaaaaaaaaaay back. Yea! Puddin'! My friend Susan and I (still can't figure out how we) came up with this one one night about 6-7 years ago while we were tripping really hard off some good paper. It's meaning is kind of a superlative of WOO-HOO! or alright! There are a select few of my friends who use this one.On a subsequent trip later that summer, I coined the phrase "Nine Nissans in a Big Green Dick, and Enough Beer to Kill a Large Mammal!!!" REEEEEEEEEEALLY long story behind that one. But we still say it whenever we are about to do something fun/insanely stupid. It's kind of a crazy rallying cry.I say "Dunka" instead of thanks.There was a point when I was in high school that I was in a band with a couple of my most burned out friends. There was one guy who always said either "Dude!" "Man!" or "Bra!" (California slang for bro, man or dude) So the ones of us who are still left will spontaneously break out with complete conversations of "Dude-bra-man!" "Bra? Bra-bra-bra-dude-man-dude-bra. Dude! Bra-man!" "Maaaaaaan! Dude-man-dude-bra!" I think you get the point. It used to piss him off so bad, but he couldn't control it. He would say something like "Dude! Man, seriously, Bra. Quit making fun of me dude. Bra, quit it for real, man. Dude!" And we would all laugh until we cried and couldn't breathe. So it is kind of a throwback to a time when we spent *WAY* more time stoned. Things are so much funnier when you are baked.If I think of any more, I will let you know.------------------I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here.~~~Dance as if noone is watching!~~~PLUR(RE) ---J---

Funny that you should say that. As a teacher I often find myself looking for interesting yet effective way to interact with kids.My official response to any wrong doing this year has been "Hey! This ain't no Disco!"... I use it for every possible thing that they do (horseplay, not doing work, talking too loud, not turing in assignments, playing games on their calculators, etc...) They finally caught on and asked me "What does that MEAN?!" To which I responded "I have no idea but for some reason you all behave after I say it!" Now it's become the official inside joke of my 2nd period.Oops, gotta run, this ain't no Disco y'know!

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

I wouldn't say these were catchphrases. More things that I tend to say a lot. Maybe that's the same thing......If all time is relative there can be no such concept as being.IndeedCornflakes - to denote I believe someone is not telling the truth. As in "....and then you woke up with your head in a bowl of cornflakes..."Follow the bouncing basserm, I spin staffs but I'm not particularly good...I have loads more but I can't think of them off hand. Maybe I'll post them when I think of them.------------------C@ntusDon't argue amongst yourselves because of the loss of me,I haven't gone anywhere,but out of my bodyReach out and you touch me,Make effort to speak to me,Call out and you hear me,Be happy for me....

As for catchphrases the one I use most often is "Why would I want to do that? It sounds like work."------------------Blessings to all, Peter "When you find yourself in the company of a halfling and an ill-tempered Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon ...you just have to outrun the halfling."

Every time I fall into a speech pattern, I get picked on until I end up stopping it. rolleyes Then again, my friends and family have this belief that the more you pick on someone, the more you love them. It makes life fun. smileHowever, being as melodramatic and animated as I tend to be, I say things like "Big bunches and lots" and other really odd phrases for emphasis. Lately "Schnikied" comes out along the same lines as "Jenkies" to the Scooby-doo crew. And, whenever someone calls my name my automatic response is "Wasn't me", no matter what they want.I have several, what I feel are, profound things I'll say when it's appropriate, but none of them are actually mine! winkI do make it a point to tell the people I love, that I love them everytime I talk to them, because I never want them to feel unappreciated or want anything to happen to them without knowing that. So my farewells are usually "Love ya, be safe!" (what can I say, I **am** a mother???)Oh, and when I want my son to stand up straighter (or other people) I tell him to "Pinch his quarter". It's a long story wink.------------------Pele Higher, higher burning fire...making music like a choir...https://www.pyromorph.com

Ahhh the good old catch phrase.Heres a few of both mine and my freinds."Spontaneous human combustion, its not an unknown phenomenon in the modern scientific world."Why we say that.......i have no idea!!!"Conspiracy." Basically used whenever something goes wrong.and theres millions more. Everybody says things over and over evev if they don't realise it.......like schoolgirls habit of using the word like as every second word (i love that, "And like we like went down to the like shop like and like we bought some candy like").But personally i love some of the Aussie catch phrases best."Flat out like a lizard drinking" which means, obviously, someone is working really hard. Thats my favourite any way.Okay......thats all.CheersDave

Lately I've been saying "Brilliant, that!" quite a bit. Espeacially in reference to car bombs (for those who don't know Car Bombs are a drop shot consisting of Bailey's irish creme and Jameson irish whiskey combined in a one ounce shot glass. You then drop the shot glass into a half pint of Guinness and drink. You have to take it all in one drink, though, cuz the Guinness curdles the Bailey's and no one likes chunky beer.) Actually since I've been on this board a lot of British twang has slipped back into my vocabulary (personally I blame Cantus wink)As for profound.......Um, if you drop your keys in a river of molten lava, forget it man, they're gone.If it wasn't meant to be eaten it wouldn't be shaped like a taco.Cordeuroy pillows, they're making headlines.and I had one more a minute ago...... Crap! I can't think of it now, but I swear it was really witty and clever, really. Even Cantus would have been impressed. Oh well, such is life I suppose.------------------If you love something, set it on fire.

Puppy, I will have to agree with you on two things.1) Irish Car Bombs KICK ASS!!! I have a friend who is a bartender, and we were out 2 Thursdays ago to see my boy, B, at an open mic night. He talked 3 of us into doing them with him. Those things KICK ASS!!! Good experience. Now, everytime I go out to a bar, I make at least one person do one with me.2) I seemed to have picked up a little Brittish twang in my typing...and I really think it rubbed off from Cantus. Popular fellow, he is.------------------I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here.~~~Dance as if noone is watching!~~~PLUR(RE) ---J---

I mostly just make up semi-descriptive, meaningless noises indicative of emotions winkI often (though not as much anymore) like to add pirate phrases into what I say: Yarr, Avast!, Scurvy, Ahoy, etc.And then there's the more-pointless words: Merf, Yorg, Meh, Bleck, Grrr.Then there's the words from my mud-playing days; Instead of actually doing something, I sometimes say *mutter* or *nod*I like to throw in a semi-accusatory "I'm on to you/I've been watching you" sort of phrase for no reason to throw people off.And then there's the bloody phrases I've picked up from the Internet (dialects) or foreign language study.

I just remembered one that a mate used to say all the time 'Keep it Real' Thought that was quite good, although I'm not sure now real what he meant, I mean, keep what real? Life I guess, but then 'life is just a figment of your imagination, one day we will die and realise that we were all just part of God's interactive cyber galactic computer game'No, sorry bebhinn that wasn't me. although I wish it were, I've not yet (Since October when I started) met any one who even understands the word poi other my sister, I must be moving in the wrong circles. Am presently waiting for the poi phenomenon to reach the south East of England! smile

I think, when it comes to poi, moving in circles is usually the best approach.We're all pieces in some deranged board game of the gods.
