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

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!

Since watching lost I have started calling people "brother".

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.

* Person doesnt have to be called John

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
