sometimes i say, "how about a little something, you know, for the effort!" usually preceded by, "hey lama!" it from caddy shack(bill murray talking about caddying for the dali llama)...... most people don't know what i am talking about.

I know I have one at least, but I always go blank when asked.. Um....
It's a sweater! Whenever I see a sweater, (it is from The Three Amigos)
sheesh, see I am drawing a blank.

"God fudging damn it!" just tends to mean that I'm annoyed that something went wrong.

that was pretty obvious.

Need I delve into the old "beetch" again?

I'll get back to you as I can't think of anything right now.

A-HA Who ya callin' beetch, beetch?

I can't think of any.

Go suck on a milk glass. It only makes sense to very few people. My fiance, my sister-in-law, my brother, and my parents. I've even told the story to people and they never find it as funny as we do. It's one of those "you had to be there" stories. Anyway, when we get pissed at each other, we'll say "go suck on a milk glass" and that ends the arguements right there. That is the all time put down!

You'll never understand it. I refuse to tell the story and look like a total idiot.

'Rice Pudding Syndrome'

Okay - so when I was a kid I once said to my Nan. 'The home-made rice puddding is the best thing in the world - I wish we could have it all the time. My Nan loved me with a passion. She then proceeded to make home-made rice pudding all the time. And I mean all the time. This coincided with a decision to spend the whole weekend their instead of just Saturday daytime. Every week.

I was fed home-made rice pudding until I was sick. In the end I began to hate home-made rice pudding and could eat no more. I dreaded every weekend.

But I grieved for that home-made rice pudding because I remembered the joy of expectation and the thrill of the taste. Now I had nothing like that anymore and I was sad that I had removed a source of pleasure from my life.

Now if I find something I like my first reaction 'Whoh, I better not have that again for at least two weeks'.

Rice-pudding syndrome! I have advised friends to ..be careful you'll get rice-pudding syndrome...

"Aw, shoot the cat!"
We say "s-hit" up here whether you're francophone or not and it sounds worst in French.
This French Canadian woman I worked with years ago, used to say that. It always sounded as if she was going to say "Aw, s-hit! I've never heard anyone else say it but I do. Sounds strange coming from a cat lover...

I really want to hear the story!

I don't think I have one to tell about.

Occasionally in qual I make reference to a famous quote from the now-defunct Dysfunctional Family Circus website. This site posted Family Circus cartoons without captions and had a form where viewers could submit captions of their own.

Captions were then either deemed worthy of display or categorized as either "needs work" or "completely stupid". The kicker is, some of the stupid ones were so off the wall that people actually liked them anyway.

Hence, the immortalization of the caption for a picture of Billy doing nothing in particular that reads "whoaaaaa im trippin my nut sack into a frenzy of dik play!"

Here's a link to some examples of the DFC material at Metronet.

Oh, yes. Several of them revolve around a couple of stuffed animals my parents have, in particular "Full size" which refers to said animals' insistence that they are not miniatures. One or two from my childhood, including "Don't call me cute!" because I used to hate it when people called me cute. They would always say it when I was being earnest about something that they found terribly amusing. The aforementioned animals have adopted this expression as well.

I had several with some friends in college, although I don't use those much anymore. The one I remember is "fudge left" (as opposed to "damn straight").

I probably have lots more of them, but I can't remember any more right now.

"so i got that going for me!"

"There's an E on my M&M!" I use this expression when I say something dumb, or "blonde" as people might want to call it. Once, I bought a package of M&M's from the vending machine at school, and everyone is just standing around our locker, and I was eating the M&M's. I looked at this m&m I had and said "guys, there's an E on my m&m." It turned out I was just holding it sideways.

"1066" or "Battle of Hastings" (or other related terms). Saying these phrases were a verbal method my younger brother and I developed of giving each other the (rude) v-sign without being seen. Of course, my mother cottoned on pretty fast......

It all stemmed from being told that the gesture originated at the Battle of Hastings when the English archers waved their string-drawing fingers at the enemy as a gesture of defiance. Although, thinking about it now, that story seems to me to fit better with Agincourt than Hastings.

Probably. Nothing comes to mind...

"first you put on the blue and then you put on the white"
Long ago, an artist friend of ours was walking around an artshow with us, and we stopped in front of an incredible oil painting. The most memorable thing about it were the eyes, they looked so deep and like they were looking out of the painting at you. Our friend had done some work with the artist who'd done the painting, and we asked, "how does she get the eyes like that?" He replied, "first you put on the blue, then you put on the white". Which has become a household expression meaning, roughly, "its a very simple answer to a very complicated question, and it probably doesn't help you at all..."

The first expression I thought of, the one that sparked the idea for this survey was "Look at those dinosaurs!" which is what one of our kids said when studying a fantasy art picture of a woman falling out of a stainless bikini while running away from the aforementioned dinosaurs. Since then, "look at those dinosaurs" has been a catchphrase referring to "adult stuff going on, children in the audience are oblivious".

Now that I've started thinking about it, our family conversation is full of references to stories like that, but I'll stop here.

rice pudding syndrome makes me think of the A.A. Milne poem...

What is the matter with Mary Jane?
She's crying with all her might and main.
She hasn't a stitch and she hasn't a pain,
and it's lovely rice pudding for dinner again!

Phi and I have plenty- it's that having been together for seven years, thing.

Tell me, beetch, what other beetch do you see?

your what hurts???
this was given to me by my father who is responsible for most of the good one-liners in my bag of smartass comments.

just don't put your ball down a 300 foot cravas.

Just you beetch!!

I say "Fudge me running" sometimes but I don't know why.

I wouldn't be so sure beetch!

BEETCH!

Enheduanna and I used to use the phrase "50 cents" instead of the US equivalent middle finger sign, because that was the fine for using the real thing.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that!

Okay.

Okay what?

beetch!!

cute!

Not that I can think of.

You could be fined for that?!

The beetch always has the last word.

your parents never fined you for anything?

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETCH!!

Yeah, our mother got really sick of us flipping each other the bird all the time (once we learned about it, it was an immensely popular gesture with us), so she started fining us 50 cents every time we did it. Of course, our father was just as big a culprit as we were!

Never

I saw someone wearing a Battle of Hastings t-shirt today and thought of you!

Hee hee hee I have a BoH mug

Cool!
It's kind of a funny thing to have a t-shirt of! It seems kind of random. But there was some picture on it, so it must have been some museum or historical thing.

'Who me?' No big story, really. I just have a very quirky sense of humour and my family says things like "you didn't!" when they hear about my latest act of rebellion. (I know, I am much too old to be a rebel but I flaunt society every chance I get.) I really dislike people who think they are better than others and are mean because of it.I've been that way all my life. I stopped believing in the church when I was five because all the 'very good' people who just got out of church every Sunday would stand on the sidewalk(which happened to be right in front of my house)and say the meanest, nastiest things they could about others walking by.The whole town was that way and they turned me off so bad that I will never give that place the time of day again.(See? I TOLD you I was in a bad mood!)

Well... Pessimism and negativity can lead to the wryest sort of humor. One day out of the blue instead of saying."I'll cross that bridge when I come to it" I said,
"I'll jump off that bridge when I come to it".
It stuck.
Instead of saying "I lost my train of thought" I say,
"My train of thought just crashed"
There was a masterpiece theatre presenting Edgar Allen Poes story of hopfrog called "fools Fire" In it the Lowly jester scowls,
"BETTER NEVER THAN LATE"
I've been saying those ever since.

When I was younger in order to get out of physical confrontation I used to say things like,
"I'll rip your eye out of it's socket with my my bare hands and shove it into your mouth!" Surprisingly that frightens peers when you are in you're early teens, used that alot. Another one was,
"Look, were just kids and if I kill you I'll go to group therapy for a few months and when I'm back home you'll still be dead"
Ahh, the wonder years.
