What Are Your Favorite Catchphrases?

It's a freakishly strange thing to say around here (as it is in a foreign tongue), but I have been known to utter the phrase: And so it begins... every now and again.

I say this one a lot too! I got it from Babylon 5.

THAT'S IT!

Fifth season opening of B5!


How could I've forgotten that? It even explains the voice I hear it in in my inner workings :lol:
 
I love some of the Wayne's World catchphrases.

"We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

"She will be mine. Oh yes, she will be mine."

"She's a robo-babe. She's magically babealicious."

And, of course: "Schwing!"

I often find myself saying, with a nasal Valley Girl inflection, "What-everrrr . . ."

And my own personal catchphrase, spoken in the "dumb guy" voice David Letterman used to do: "Course, now they do all that stuff with computers."

Do or do not, there is no try.
I've never heard that one. What's it from?
 
Once in a Bill Engvall standup routine he was talking about how his daughter called him while he was on the road and she asked him to buy a CD for her, she said "Pick up some Barenaked Ladies". After about a twenty-second pause Bill goes "All....righty." :lol:

Now that's what I always say when I see something unexpected...

Also, if something good happens to me, I'll say "Ripping". I got it from a Python sketch (about a minute in):

But my actual favorite catch phrase of all time? Must be "Nice pants." :D
 
I use these all of the time:

"You've given me double diabetes. Thank you."
"I seem to have misplaced my pants."
"Well, there go the piano lessons."
"Fudge barnacles!"
"Sweet Zombie Jesus!"
 
"I see what you did there." I use that one quite a bit, especially on the Twitter.

(I sometimes add a superfluous "the" to a brand name, too. ;))
 
"D'oh!"

"Don't call me Shirley" any time someone says Surely in a sentence. :p Also, the whole "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking/drinking/amphetamines/sniffing glue."

"What. What. What?", "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." or "Allons-y!" Sadly, most people in my off-line life are not Doctor Who fans and look at me like I'm weird. Wait, they do that anyway. :p

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

"I knew it! I'm surrounded by Assholes!"
 
I've been known to mutter "frak" in the real world without realizing it...

I also like "Lighten up, Francis," but that's almost 100% limited to teh internets, where it is often very pertinent. ;)
 
You can trust me, I worship Loki.
If work were meant to be fun, we would call it something else.
