If you could create a phrase that would catch on all around the country, what would it be?

Who was the first person to say “A diamond is forever” or “fit as a fiddle”?
Or how about urban sayings like “that’s how I roll” and “baby mama”...
Can we make up a few and see if they catch on? I suspect some of them may become popular fluther phrases.

craptastic means extremely crappy
bood means so bad its good, often referring to movies
thats all i can think of for now, but i’ll be back.
I wish I could remove “A diamond is forever” from the question. Now that I think about it, I’m sure it was an ad exec who came up with that one.
Two used in our family, both of which began as accidents:
What the pudding? (as in What the hell/heck?)
For real and famous? (said in a very earnest voice)
These are words, not phrases, we use:
Squarular (see Circular)
Deliciyum (delicious + yum)
Round here we say something is “uberbatman” when we find something awesome.
When someone is being a jerk, s/he is being a Scooby Douche. I don’t know that I’d want to go down in history for that, though…
“Like rats out of an aquaduct.”
I dunno.. but I wish more people besides those in my hometown knew what someone meant when they say “man you’re so salty…”
I dunno where “salty” came from but I love it and say it all the time. too bad no one else knows what it means.
well, let’s say john is about to race jane, and john’s like, “man i’m TOTALLY gonna win. i own this race.” and then jane beats him by a ton. then john is super salty.
or today when i went to steak n shake i was dressed like i just rolled out of bed but i was like, it’s fine, i’m sure there won’t be any cute boys there. and then the boy who i’m totally in love with was there. i was extremely salty.
get it? :)
good. & you’re very welcome.

bahahah. pathfinder does indeed win. i’m gonna start saying that all the time..
I’m with Cak, I think we should make a concerted effort to make “frizzer” part of the lexicon. Just think, Flutherites can even work together to decide what it means, then we all start using it in everyday life and across the world wide web and POOF! We have the first word of a new catchphrase.
Go Fletch!!! (One of my family names). It means go make an arrow, but sounds worse.

When you communicate with someone online really well, without having ever seen them or actually spoken with them, you feel flutherific.
Like I feel with TAFKA @evelyns_pet_zebra.
“Lush!”- Which we use in two ways “You’re such a lush!”- if you can’t handle your alcohol. OR “That’s so lush!” meaning it’s (as Paris Hilton would put it) “hot.”
@generalspecific- I like it! Salty! I’m gunna use that!
@cyndyh – love the other shoe fits one!
@AstroChuck “Oh, go walk the tree penguin!”…. What?!?
@omfgTALIjustIMDu – sounds like a line out of 500 days of Summer.

Oh… also “Just between you, me and the apple tree…” meaning that whatever is about to be said, is to be kept a secret.
