Your "catch phrase"

[AdeptaSororitas]

I may be going out on a limb here but I'm going to assume everyone speaks. And with speaking comes alot of words, some of which are repeated by a person more then others, to the point where a person can be associated with a specific phrase. So I'm asking the good (mostly) people here at the escapist if they have a particular "catch phrase" which they use often.

In my case I have two: "Go for Gold Kid" for when someone suggests something, and "10 points" Whenever someone either messes up or succeeds at something.

Edit: Okay, I have a third. Whenever someone presents me with two things that are both true in an "or" sentence, I respond with a simple "yes." I also do this if someone I dislike asks if X or Y is the correct option.

Ex. Person A: Do you like boys or girls?
Me: Yes.

Person B: Is the answer 32 or 42?
Me: Yes. (if at least one answer is right)

"oh god not again" and "heyyy check it out!"

 

[Harlemura]

I say "Okey doke" fairly frequently. I assume it's actually quite annoying to people after a while, but it's habit now.
Though it doesn't really count because most everyone on the planet says it, "Crap" is my go-to curse when something goes wrong. That or "Whoops".

 

[Dango]

"God damn" with a slightly British accent.

That and "Ugh..."

 

[Erana]

I like, "I'm not quite sure how to interpret that."
Its very versatile, fitting in contexts of anywhere from jokes and subtle innuendo to fitting quite neatly into a heartfelt conversation about the most serious of issues.

I don't really have a catchphrase so much as a few phrases I generally use for the same sort of situation. When frustrated, I generally use "Crap in a hat" or "Son of a dammit", for example. I have also grown quite fond of telling the cause of such frustration, whether human or object, to eat a dick. I'm not sure why, but it just sort of feels... appropriate for some reason. When someone does something good or succeeds or whatever, I usually say "Good show", or if they mess up I say it in a sorta playfully sarcastic tone.

I tend to face palm and go "ehhhh" as seen here: . Also, from Family Guy too, my friends and I, if something goes wrong, tend to do a mixture of Bruce's "ohhhh nooo!" and Stewie's (from the episode where he moves in with Brian and spills stuff on the kitchen floor and shouts "we are gonna have ants!") "Brian! Brian! Oh no!" Yeah...it's kind of a 'you have to be there' thing.

I also say "rock n roll" frequently for no apparent reason. And then there's your standard "hurr durr" or "herpa derp" when someone does something stupid. Also substituting the ends of worlds for "fag", i.e. the Escapfag. I still haven't discovered why I do this.

"It could be worse"

best thing for a bad situation.

 

[Ninjat_126]

Variations on the form of "Hello". Occasionally Often a "Greetings", delivered in the manner of a Half-Life 1 scientist.

"Ear Crack" being used to refer to the song "In The House, In A Heartbeat"

Superfluous adjectives. Expect a lot of "vaguely awesome" and similar.

I tend to tilt my head to the side occasionally.

...

I also reference new developments IRL the same way they are referenced in Echo Bazaar: "A Twist In Your Tale! You are now/no longer X!"

 

[Apollo45]

"It could be worse"

best thing for a bad situation.

"At least you're not on fire" is what I normally counter that with.

I've got a few of them, but they tend to switch themselves out from time to time. Generally I'll just say something, and then I'll say it a second time somewhere down the road, and before I know it it's coming out of my mouth without even thinking about it. For instance, right now I keep saying "Just a moment" whenever someone asks me to do something. Not exactly awesome, or even noticeable until the tenth time you've heard it (or said it, in my case), but there ya go.

 

[Blue Hero]

I say "I tell ya" way too often. Sometimes I start a sentence with it and also end the same sentence with it. I hate it. It is a habit I've developed and I hate it.

 

[PatrickXD]

"That's one word for it..." Used as an alternative to insulting something.
Also I'm a good ol' 'brit' so I do a lot of blast, damn and bloody helling.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

'See, here's the thing about that...I don't care.', 'Riiiight, well good luck with that.', 'Well I'm still alive, so that's always a plus.', 'Oh, for fucks sake!' and 'Oh, sweet cunting Christ, what now?!' Plus I think I've stolen this line from Dr. Cox on many an occassion:


Those are a few things I say from time to time. Also, I like adding 'up in this *****' to the end of certain setences where appropriate.

 

[Llil]

I say "x is overrated" quite a lot, in a non-serious way.
For example, if someone says something like "I need to go get some sleep, I have to wake up early tomorrow." I might respond with "sleeping is overrated". Or "Don't just sit in here, go get some fresh air for once!" - "nah, air is overrated".

That's a phrase I don't hear other people using (at least in the same way as I do), so I guess it could be my catch-phrase.

 

[MrJKapowey]

Currently I seem to have...

"It's D-ay-us, not D-oo-s." - regarding my friend's pronunciation of Deus Ex

"Face palm"

"Oh my god, well done..."

"LOOK! Derpy hoo... oh, it's just *friends name*"

"WE ARE WEST HAM'S CLARET AND BLUE ARMY!" - to annoy a friend who supports Tottenham when we're on the same team

And these are often said when I'm online on my Xbox -

"Goddamn it" - British accent

"Bloody hell" - British accent

"Useless wankers" - British accent

"You Bloody Useless Wankers are SO goddamn going to hell if I have a say in the matter" - British accent (generally built up to by frequent use of the first three through sheer fuck-uppery from teammates. Generally in a semi-joking fashion)

"I totally *actioned**noun* in ten seconds flat..." (e.g. I totally took that point in ten seconds flat..."

"Congratz. You just met the ICF" - instead of GG on AoE3 if the other team were being noobs and we won.

"*Doing X,y,Z*... LIKE A BOSS!" - a msg to people on AoE3 on the opposing team. Generally anything.

Spoiler: Recent Examples

Building a church to get Mercantilism... LIKE A BOSS!
Constructing a domicile... LIKE A BOSS!
Stealing an important treasure you were about to get... LIKE A BOSS!
Singlehandedly defeating your entire army only to pull back and prolong your civilisations collapse... LIKE A BOSS!

 

[electric_warrior]

I say "fair enough" and "okey doke" a fair bit

 

[Shockolate]

I'd tell you, but my friends would just steal it...again...

They always steal my phrases...

I get that alot, currently everyone in my group of friends is using my "yes" reply -.-

 

[khoax123]

My catch phrases would be
"Would i lie to you?" (i always get the same answer 'yes')
"You tried to lie to me!" (when i prove my friends wrong)
"WHAT!"

lately I've been trying to say "would you kindly" instead of "please",but i noticed that i don't say it that often.
