Do you have weird sayings/'catchphrases'

    I could swear I started a thread like this before, but I've just had a search to check and can't find it. Maybe I had the good sense not to.

    Anyway, lots of people seem to have their own 'catchphrases' (for want of a better word).

    One teacher at our school is famed for his overzealous use of the word 'folks'. "Right folks, now folks, to start folks, we'll..."
    It's spawned a facebook group which apparently he knows about

    Another teacher, a Nigerian bloke, calls everyone mate and uses the phrase "We're home and dry"

    The most irritating is a head of year. He uses the phrase "Sort of what I like to call" ALL the time. It drives everyone mental
    "We're going on a trip to sort of what I like to call.. France"
    "Isn't that what everyone calls it?


    As anyone here who's got me on facebook can attest to, my catchphrase is most definitely "People are cunts" because I'm a miserable prick

    So do you have sayings that are unique to you, or that people would recognise as being 'you'?


    I've given up hope on every starting a decent thread

    I go through phases with most things. Most recently I'd gotten into the habit of saying "Yes" and "No" as Gaeilge.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    I probably over use the word "Folks" when i'm in work, i'm terrible with the names of customers that i should know, so pure habit is "hello folks, thanks folks, see ya later folks" etc etc

    I'm still using the phrase "yore ma" to end any and all arguments. There is just no argument that cannot be stopped or lost by it's use.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    That'll do pig.... that'll do.

    Whenever someone asks me to do something, I say "Ah I will in me fat white hole"

    Courting. I think I'm turning into my mam

    If someone is caught doing something I always say ..

    They were caught by the 'Snaz Hoops™'

    No idea why :)

    I tend to say "mutt" a lot lately, "shup you, ya mutt", "fcukin' mutt", "she's a mutt altogether".

    Oh, I was ordering a Chinese Meal the other night and at the end she read it all back to confirm and I said ..

    "That's the one .. " :confused:

    Felt like a right twat then, couldn't take it back, so just pretended that it was an appropriate thing to say and said ..

    "Yup, that's the one .. order there, thank you." :o .. :)

    Also, instead of saying "hello", or "hey", I tend to say "howdy" more often than not.... Weird habit I've gotten into

    If you don;t change that attitude, when you eventually get laid, it'll be some wanky emo child who'll ask you to cut her mid coitus.



    As for me; I keep saying "ah sure" and "no worries" and "I've great time for him/her"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,390 ✭✭✭The Big Red Button


    "I will in me arse!"

    Really need to train myself out of that one ... :o

    I actually have added you; for a number of reasons... your location, the bit in bold, and the fact you're a wimminz.
    You're welcome :pac:

    Eurgh.. No I'm not an emo.
    I'm not depressed/suicidal, just grumpy and pissed off. Big difference

    I have a habit of adding Iago after saying the word patience.

    Haven't met many folks who know where is comes from


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    "Good morning good people, and good morning 'insert name here' " when greeting a group.

    Catchphrases are things I liken to plate spinning and knife throwing.

    Just utterly lame.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,051 ✭✭✭Whosbetter?


    I have a range of colourful ones for when I'm stressed/angry etc.

    However,these have been supplanted by 'Ah Poo!:mad:', due to the presence of a 4 year old daughter in the house.

    Im gettin' to quite like it now....


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I said "jeepers" on msn the other day, no idea where that one came from! :confused:

    My usual 'catchphrases' are, "You nerd!", "You geek!" and calling people weird lil names like twinkle toes, cuddle bunny, hot stuff etc!

    i usually make guns with my hands and make a firing noise and fire them when i get something right....thats pretty messed up ha ha!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,748 ✭✭✭tony1kenobi


    A guy I work with uses the word literally about 20 times in a sentence never once correctly.

    Example."when the thing with the thing happened I literally **** myself"

    "you did?you **** in your pants?"

    "No I didn't ACTUALLY **** myself I LITERALLY **** myself"


    F*cking clown shoe that guy.
