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

"...and boom goes the dynamite."

A great way to end the odd sentence.

"I wouldn't ride her into battle"

Amayonazing

(Like the word mayonaisse)

Dude I knew in college used to say it and I still use it..

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.

Incorporated.

You just did (if you remove the reference to using it)...........dude.

Very easy to not type it. Isn't so easy in day to day conversations, DUDE.

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?

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

Standard Toaster · 15-08-2011 02:18PM

nyes nyes :pac:

pockets3d · 15-08-2011 02:29PM

''keep it organic''

Was hilarious when some scobie used it as a passing greeting

niceview · 15-08-2011 02:30PM

Sure look

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.

BrianJD · 15-08-2011 02:42PM

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

dirtypanties · 15-08-2011 02:45PM

Lookit-from Jo in fair city

Erra-Used as an answer when I haven't made up my mind about something-'would you like a coffee?'-Erra.....

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.

Two I like

"She has a face like a bulldog that just licked piss off a nettle"

"She went at me mickey like a dog eatin a bag of hot chips"

Frank Black · 15-08-2011 02:53PM

Ever since Ray Wilkins started commentating for Sky, I've found myself saying '"my word" a lot more.

Variations to the above;

"She had a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp"

and

"she went at it like a dog eatin' an ice-pop"

I'm a recent convert to fcuktard! (if it has'nt been mentioned earlier)

roll it around your tongue a little....say it a couple of times...its great, an insult that combines aggression and disdain in equal measures

can be shortened to "tard" if you're not quite as angry or aggressive...merely disdainful

(it is a bit internet forumy though to be fair)

'I'm so hungry i'd eat the bollox off a low flying duck' and for when someone has a truly horrific singing voice 'She sounds like a goose farting against the wind'

and

"keep her lit"

Plazaman · 15-08-2011 03:17PM

Since watching Doc Hollywood about 10 years ago, I regularly use

"I couldn't be happier if I was twins"

The King of Moo · 15-08-2011 03:22PM

I brought "wee" and "nae bawther" back with me after living in Scotland.

Glico Man · 15-08-2011 03:22PM

"A lot done, more to do"

And since I've moved to Belfast, I've started saying "its Baltic outside" rather than "its fecking freezing outside".

As well as "wee" instead of small and "aye" instead of yes

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