What is your KEY 'catch phrase' that you use most often?

This may be colloquial or not but in general discussion, what phrase are you most likely to say. What phrase do you find that you tend to rely upon again and again and if you never noticed that you had such a habit, search yourself and think of something that you would habitually say for a certain given circumstance and do a bit of psych work on your verbal habits and post something and also state from what region of the world you are from. I’m not excluded as I have some catch phrases. These would be a series of words that you might exude during an apropos conversation.

I don’t think that there’s any real phrase I say enough or is witty enough that it might have become a catchphrase, force of habit or not.
With that said, I’m quite fond of ’‘get bent, JERKASS’’.
In presenting an argument (not like in a fight) I will say, “Look at it this way, ...”
“What goes around, comes around”, or in it’s vulgar form “the payback’s a bitch”. I’ve also picked up the habit of describing anything good as “outstanding”.
Cath phrases? Those are ridiculous.
Now go make me a sandwich.
In Fluther’s chat, I say ”^” more than I probably should.
In life, I’d like it to be the Golden Rule. But I doubt that it actually is.
I say “Fail” a lot and something about stupid people using cliche tropes instead of thought.
“Eat shit.”
It’s becoming a problem.
My favorite would be “I just need to tell you this…” and “Mind your own business”.
Ummmm “fact from fiction, truth from diction,” but to the loathing of most, they know that. Or and it might be a close 2nd “follow the logic it usually always lead back to the truth”
“It’s all good!”
It’s a big help in a lot of situations.
I say, “heel, stop pulling” a lot, especially when I am walking my dog. Other than that I say “sweet” pretty much. I like saying it, it’s fun.
Fuck me. And not in a good, sexual way. :(
I say “Oh MY” a lot (which I think I got from Jeruba actually in the early days of my fluthering… and then I say “Oh my goodness!!!” a lot too…because life has a tendency to shock me :) I’m from England :-)
“Cookies” (it has another meaning besides those delectable, little snacks).
“Or, making cookies”...
Allie, Essie, Epony and the wife know…
Like @augustlan, I say fuck me or fuck me sideways or fuck me anyway but loose.
When irritated, I like to tell people to drink a cup of shut the fuck up.
I also say redonkulous and motherfuckles a lot.
“Oh, fuck me sideways, do me a favor and drink a cup of shut the fuck up you redonkulous motherfuckle.” XD
I’m always saying “Uff da.” I basically can’t stop; no joke.
“It is what it is” and describing annoying or frustrating situations as brutal
“Live by The Platinum Rule and not The Golden Rule”. (I’m from the USA)
“Yoicks!”
Points to anyone that name the book that came from.
Apparently I say “Seriously?” a lot. I don’t even know I do it. I also say “Do What?” when someone tells me something I don’t understand or if I don’t quite hear what they’ve said. I find “Do what?” a little embarrassing, but I don’t even realize I’ve said it until it’s out of my mouth.
@knitfroggy
Why would you think “Do what?” is embarrassing? I use “Say what?” a lot.
I frequently find people confusing when they speak so I often say, “Could you say that again using different words?” The different word choices allow me to get more of the nuance of what they really mean.
@mrentropy I know the terms from its use with hounds. It is likely in any number of books.
@Kayak8 Okay. Name the book I got it from.
I say “Oh absolutely” a lot.
I say “whatever”. People get irritated with me. I say it a lot. Oh well. Whatever… ;)
I stole, “I’m hearing you on FM!” from Red Dwarf. I use it a lot. Nobody understands what it means.
my brother wear out the phrase, “you know!” should say, wears me out!
If someone says to me “I have a question.” I always say “I have an answer.” The answer may be “I don’t know!” but there it is.
It’d be a tie between “Seriously?!”, “Oh my goodness….!” or…. I had another one in my head!! But now I can’t remember it…
—@ChocolateReigns Um….that’s the second time in a row you’ve mentioned you’ve forgotten something! Just a moment ago on your photography question I noticed you stuck in that you had a digital camera at the end of your post because you forgot to put it in in the body!...... Or was “I had another one in my head!! But now I can’t remember it…” part of your answer!? :)
@Val123 Kind of both…I often forget things…And I usually mention it during a conversation. And I really did have another one.
“I’m just here” “it will or it won’t” “I’m no ordinary fool” “same shit, different shovel” “shove it!” “stick it” or “eat it” “this too shall pass” “stick in yerrear”
and like @augustlan “fuck me!” and like @RocketMan “Eat shit”
“What is up Big Daddy?” expounding on the prior comment! i NEVER say, what is up Big Mama (that could get you hurt)?
Not really a catchphrase but when i explain something to someone i tend to, after i gave an example, give a second and a third example, just so i am sure (i hope) that the other is getting what i want them to see.
I don’t like catch phrases so I don’t use them. My hubby seems to cycle through a few of them and that is enough to drive me nuts.
I remembered a few more today:
• “Jesus, Jerry and Josephine”
• “Shooty booty”...I began that one when my daughter
was young and unfortunately for others…it stuck!
• “It’ll either get worse, better or stay the same”
• “Lark’s vomit!”
@RocketSquid The nutritional value should be dramatically reduced as this is previously digested food matter :)
Steve_A Grrrrrr! that what my ex used to say. She is GD MFing skank nasty %&#(&$.
Common phrase.
@Kraken Please try to put all your responses into one post. Thanks!
Hey catch phrase “Release the Kraken!!!” Sorry could not help referencing the movie. :-)
@augustlan (26172points) You are being vague.
You site no reference point, hence you have not shown me what you have intended to show me, therefore I have no idea what you are referring to and therefore unless you can indicate a succinct point of this instance I must therefore rule your inappropriate minuscule comment as null and void. Henceforth, please do not do this again as you have not even provided a reference point for your hearsay comment.
OVERRULED
@Hypocrisy_Central
Totally awesome.
I am the Kraken that is a giant squid though, and not that monstrosity from Clash of the Titans but you have gladdened my soul though :-)
[mod says] To make it official:
@Kraken Posting multiple answers in a row is frowned on here, as it clutters up the site. You are able to direct specific comments to specific people within one post.
@anartist Copy cat! ;) << See what I did there?
@Kraken Have I been unclear? Please tell me what you are having difficulty with, and I’ll be happy to clarify.
Just go like this;
@somedude Yo waddup mang.
@someotherdude I hear that.
@somechick Waz gown down up in da hood yo
@randomgoat Imma bust yo kneecaps!
Of course these aren’t actual users so they don’t appear in red, but yeah.
@Symbeline <Gasp!!> To be an actual user I have to be a Republican!?!?! I feel I have to shower now
@Kraken Here’s an example with “live” names.
@Symbeline Hey, how you doin’?
@Vunessuh So, whatcha wearing up to?
You can also address two persons at once:
@Vunessuh & @Symbeline You girls wanna go for some drinks, see what happens from there?
@Kraken The one that bothered me the most was “Sweet!” and I can’t remember the others.
@CaptainHarley I guess I find “Do what” embarrassing because my cousin always laughs at me and says I sound like a hick say it!
@bob_ I’m wearing a mumu and yes, @Symbeline and I will go for drinks and tell you what happens later. :P
@bob_ We’ll bring you back some club sandwiches…if they sell those in burlesque houses, anyway.
Whew! I just realized you were leaving @bob_ out of your date. Thank goodness!!
@bob_ Aaah don’t pretend you don’t like it when we act this way.
@Symbeline You mean hard to get? Yeah, I kinda do like the chase XD
Wait…......is all that code for 2 actual jellies making a “jam sandwich”?
@augustlan Did I see a wink? If otherwise, please enlighten
@Symbeline I am shocked, utterly shocked, jellies making “jam sandwiches” Details…did you find yourself saying “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.
”? Hee hee hee
@anartist Yes, definitely a wink. I was poking fun at this line of your answer:
…and like @augustlan “fuck me!” and like @RocketMan “Eat shit”
(Just to show @Kraken how to address multiple people.)
@Symbeline Can my bacon come from warthog = I am a connoisseur of the bizarre.
@Kraken I’m pretty sure it can. I’ve had warthog before, it’s good business.
@Symbeline If that be true then I just want WH bellies and not all that belies beneath.
Warthog, that’s those wild pigs with the tusks, ain’t it?
“Funktastic!” Which has to be said verrrrry carefully.
@Kraken I use that one, too. As well as groovy, tubular, gnarly, 23-skidoo, toots, skidaddle, and anything else I can pull up from the Time Stream.
@Val123 & you must be The Dutchess.
By Krakatoa, you noticed how I misspelled your name on purpose to correctly spell it as you see it?
as of late “oh me oh my oh codfish pie” with all credits to Hank Williams and debits for misquote to me, a New Englander [codfish/crawfish—in New England similar critters are called CRAY-yes like the supercomputer-fish]
