that would become a part of pop culture for a while?

I currently have 2 in the works, and they're not really catching on.
Use 'em if you get the chance!!!

"Greetings. Salutations. Condominiums."

"How are you this fine, feathered day?"

Yep, I use them in everyday conversation. In fact, this morning I said simply "Greetings" to a coworker and she asked me, "Aren't you forgetting something?"

So at least people are remembering and recognizing it, if not yet using it.
Just remember, you heard it here first!

The other day I said "Oh! Terns" and I think it should become a saying.

Feel free to make up your own definition.

in college i would call various people Noonens (or Noonans). The name's origin and why i use comes from a combination of Caddyshack, working with kids, and the YMCA.

Noonen = someone who does something stupid because he/she is a jerk or more often does something jerky because he/she is stupid.

i'd the phrase i use most often when speaking is "Fer cryin' out loud!"

I think my contributions to the English language have been DULY noted by this board.

:lol: That's pretty hilarious. Very Spinal Tap.

Um, I have a weird one that I made up:

"Don't count your dead chickens before they die."

It's kind of morbid sounding, but really it's an attempt to make a version of the original expression that will work in reverse--i.e. rather than say "don't get your hopes up" it would be "don't assume it won't work out".


From grade 5: "Fine, see that way, be if I care!"

Silliness, I know.

i do this about twice a month, then forget about it and think up a new one. "get it right, fungo" has been a big one as of late. before that was "like trying to organize a special olympics boat race".

my all-time favorite, though, is "hotter than a hostage situation"

chillin' like pennacillin

my friend Dan always tries this. lately whenever someone talks about something he is interested in, instead of saying he is curious abut it, he says he is bi-curious about it. it is dumb but makes me laugh every time.

I certainly have, but half the problem is picking the right expression. I don't think I'll be using those, because most of my co-workers fly past my door faster than I can spit either one of those two out.

So mine come out more like, reinventing "yo".

You're lucky I don't own firearms nor live near Syracuse.

When "ginormous" was added to Webster's, I decided to no longer use the word (being played out and all) and instead opt for either "enormogantic" or "huginormous" (or it's alter-ego, simply "hugimous.") Despite rather liking the awkward waddle of "enormogantic," all three have failed to catch on.

"By a cunt hair" always lights up a room.

I wasn't sure if I could get it in before deadline, but it looks like I made it by a cunt hair.

The current favorite of my friends is simple "I don't think it's fair..." used in a long drawn-out sigh such as,

"Umm.. like, I don't think it's fair.. that I have to work at 10 am."

When dealing with short people who have napoleonic/little dog syndrome...

"Pick on someone your own size... munchkinland is THAT way."

When dealing with students who can't follow rules, or patrons of the bar who can't form a line to the right and try to cut...

"I'm not saying that you're not special. We're all special. But what makes you think that you're EXTRA-special?"

I've used, "I take shits bigger than you.", but not in school.

My favorite lately...

The other person whines about wanting something which ain't gonna happen, and you respond "Yeah, and I want a pony."
