Have you ever overhead a phrase that you incorporated into your vocabulary?

Frank Black

Myself and the OH was walking out of ‘War of the Worlds’ in the cinema a while ago and the couple in front of us were discussing it.
The guy asked his girlfriend what she thought of it whereupon she replied in a inner-city Dublin accent “Yeah, s’was all right but it wasn’t fooking great”
This phrase seemed to me to be a perfect summation of the movie.
Myself and the OH have now incorporated this phrase into our discussions on related matters – we even adopt a Dublin accent when doing so.
Does anyone else to this – or are we a bit strange?

Aren't you all right but not fooking great!

Sadly I say "Did you get your ears lowered?" when somebody gets a haircut. Overheard it once. It's so not funny...

That annoys the absolute bejaysus out of me for some reason. I think it's because my cousin does it all the time.

Adding "in an anyway" at the end of a sentence, after a long-ago-seen, pre-Apres Match Barry Murphy impression of Frank Stapleton, maybe way back on The End on Friday nights, though I believe he still says it, in an anyway.

Was it not "n'anyways"? As in "n'all n'anyways" colloqualism?

It probably was, but I either heard it as "in an anyway" or just preferred that version. Kind of like when I make up lyrics for those in a song I can't quite hear, then find out what the real lyrics are but stick with mine out of habit/mine being better.

Burrrrrrem

This is what I call Dublin people as in "He's a real Burrrrem"
I got it from one of the rare times I overheard the Adrian Kennedy phone show.
Every caller seemed to start every sentence with Burrrrem. I think they were trying to say but, em so I now call dubs Burrrrrem

I read Motley Crue's autobiography and in every Tommy Lee bit "dude" was said nearly every tenth word. It has since seeped into my vocabulary and now i can't stop using it.

Yes I do it. I have done it for every word I have ever said in any language. Apart from the odd phrase I coin myself.

"Fucktard". I have no idea where I heard it from or if I made it up (doubt it) in a fit of rage but it seems to be a fairly apt description for most of the population

I heard someone describe a particularly difficult and frustrating bit of organising as "like herding cats". I thought it was perfect to describe those times when you're trying to get people moving or gathered for something......especially family things where people just wander off.

Eugoogly-From zoolander

'I've got the black lung pop'in relation to when I'm feeling crappy-also from zoolander

I also seem to have developed a habit of throwing D4 words randomly into sentences-i.e Heino,Dort,Chedd etc (I'm from West Cork-trust me it does not go down well)

Chriissssshhhhtttt-Because I'm from West Cork and hear it constantly

Shur where would you be going-Don't know where I got that one.

Gas Banana-Because my 2 yr old came out with it one day and thought she was hilarious.

Oh my Goodness-because a girl I know says it in response to everything.

I thought we'd gone past all this passport business (in a posh voice)-cos I heard a guy say that in the airport once at arrivals when he was asked for his passport.
