Soph the vet Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 When dc get "hurt" I like to say "is there blood or fire?, No? then you're ok" or "don't worry, it's a long way from your heart" When I lived in Georgia my favorites phrases included but were not limited to: "you see what I'm sayin'" "I'm fixin' to" and the ever popular "that dog won't hunt":lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancypants Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I just asked my kids what's my most oft repeated phrase (so I could answer really honestly as far as practice is concerned) and my son answers (in his voice, hoping he was answering correctly), "Be quiet?" :smilielol5: I like "dumber than a bag of hammers" from Oh Brother Where Art Thou. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningirl71 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 OOH! OOH! I just thought of another one I think is funny! "Whoopsy Daisy!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay in Cal Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 "Sounds like a personal problem to me!" I also say this frequently, in response to whining or complaining, etc... My dh votes for: "Half of one, six dozen of the other." Ds 6 votes for: "To protect the world from devastation, to unite all peoples within our nation..." (it's a Pokemon thing). Dh and I think his favorite phrase is: "It was an accident." Ds 4 votes for: "Doo-doo dancey paper clip." Which he has never said before until I asked him what his favorite phrase is.

Kris Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Either "Oh, good grief!" or "Bless your heart!" depending on how I'm feeling at the time. But the one I seem to use the most is, "What part of 'no' don't you understand?" Oh -- and "How's that workin' for ya?" and "Well, did you *learn* anything?!"

Tarheel Heather Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Me: "Well, that's nothing to sneeze at." (don't know where I got that from) Drives my dh crazy. "Where's your brother?" "Because I said so." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenschooler Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Mine is "Go figure." When I was a young girl (about 19-20) I used to work with a gal named Polly at a very stressful job (we worked on commission at a health salon). I'd come in the break room, ranting and raving about not getting paid my proper commission, and how someone better figure out how to do math and real fast or heads were gonna roll (I guess I was like this even back then!). Polly would just shrug, say she didn't get paid the right amount either, and say, "Go figure." I loved that she could be so calm, and here I was always about to pop a blood vessel. I don't know whatever happened to Polly, but even 20 years later, when I find myself getting so worked up over why people do the things they do, I sometimes just stop and say to myself, "Go figure."
