What Are Your Favourite Little Sayings?

[Squallmuzza]

I always find I say the same things over and over, like my little catchphrases.

I love saying FUBAR, meaning fucked up beyond all repair, just describes a really crap situation perfectly XD

Or 'sounds like a plan' when we reach a decision on any subject.

I also say 'do you know what I mean' at the end of nearly every sentence. Guess that's me being paranoid that I'm talking utter bollocks and noone can understand me!

What about you guys? Any little phrases that stick with you?

 

[sergie_sun]

That's my favorite "My life is scary sad. And you want me to trust in my arse the lilac bush and do a striptease in front of you."

It is deep and you better have some imagination.

"Speak softly and carry a big stick" - teddy
&
"accidents always happen"

Oh another one is the saying I live my life by 'When you die, there will be 3 things on your tombstone. A birthdate, a deathdate and a dash in-between. Make sure you're remembered for the dash.'

"Was denn?!"

"Was denn?!"

Maybe you can elaborate, Sleepy...who would know what that means? except maybe you, unless its a german thing.

I say alot, "say what" but then thats cause my whole family is illiterate and cant do in one paragraph that I can do in 2 words...and their all teachers...ughh.

 

[whatthef__k]

"Who knows?!"
God, I hate that. And I keep saying it again and again...

They're*. Pot kettle black good sir? =P

 

[goejavin]

I have no idea what your saying but I'm laughing my ass off...is that a line from Oliver? Monty Python? You Brits just kill me!!!!

The pot calling the kettle black is an old and oft used expression.

I was surprised to hear what i consider a very English expression being used in America when I was over - in for a penny in for a pound.

I like the line in John Wayne's movie "The Cowboys" "We're burning daylight!" Often use that one myself

At work I like to use the line: "I'd love to stay, but that would keep me from going."

Another good one at work is: "a good swift kick in the groin!", I use this one in two ways. When someone says "Know what I would really like", I interrupt and say "a good swift kick in the groin!"
When some one askes if they can get you anything, "a good swift kick in the groin!", meaning things can't get any worse.


(Not to be nit picky, but Fubar is "fucked up beyond all Recognition."
It's a saying started by the soldiers in the pacific during WWII. No matter how good their battle plan was, things chanced so fast that the battle did not go at all the way it was suppose to).

 

[cheapscape]

I'm partial to "Bollocks!" and "Bawls!"

"From the day you're born 'til the day you're in the ground" (I stole that from a Marvin Gaye song lol)

You could just translate it with "What?" in a surprised tone

 

[Tom]

My family always says: "knock on wood."
"don't count your chickens before they are hatched."
"If it doesn't kill you it will only make you stronger."

Oh, and another one I like to use at work when someone asks me how I'm able to do something.
"If I told you, I'd have to kill you."

When travelling, and reaching the end of staying in a particular place I find myself saying " but if i don't go home... I can't come back"

Mmmm. See I'd like to think I could say that.... But then I tend to throw a hissy fit and cry that I wanna stay! My usual saying in that case is 'But I don't wannnaaaaaaaaaaaaa' XD

In fact, I'm pretty sure I've seen that being parodied several times by different people haha =P

 

[slimjim]

So is that parody or plagiarism?
