Quite a few of us do this it's like our own catchphrases! What's yours?

I like this. Great old-timey vibe.

I used to echo my father (career military, enlisted) and say "Jesus Fucking Christ" all the time.

Only later I realized: I'm not Christian. I'm not even particularly Christian culture-aligned. This doesn't feel profane enough to me.

So now I say "Compassionate Fucking Buddha" instead. THAT sounds profane.

If you don’t have an answer, try this one simple trick! Having kids! They’ll repeat all the dumb shit you say that you had no idea you were saying.

Oh crikey what are some classics?

Any time something falls to the floor, rolls under a couch, etc., especially dice: "Well, that's gone forever."

I say brilliant, fucking brilliant and do you know what I mean far too much

I'm a fucking parrot. I find shiny words and wear them out.

I've been on a cool beans kick lately.

Also, a motherfucker kick, when I'm ranting. It's just so satisfying.

Tbh, other than Samuel L Jackson, I may be the motherfuckeringest motherfucker on the planet.

I think my catchphrase has to be: "To be honest, I just cannot be arsed"

Every Norwegians catchphrase: ikke sant

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Cool what does it mean? And how come it's so common?

[–] Griffus@lemm.ee 0 points 2 days ago

Roughly translated it means "not true" and can be used as that. But most often it is used as a filler/comfirming word like the English "right" both in the middle and in the end of sentences, and can also be shortened to just "sant", "true". So combined with the typically Nordic inward breathing "jah" you have half of a normal Norwegian conversation right there.

"Different strokes for different folks!" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like, I think I say "like" quite a bit. And I've noticed that I use "awesome" quite a lot. And "personally" when I'm giving my opinion about something, especially typing on a platform like this, I sometimes need to reword my shit to avoid frequent use of "personally" lol. Also, for some reason this stuck in my mind, according to a word cloud on Reddit a while ago, one of my most frequently used words of all is "people".

Other than that, I say "what the fuck" to myself fairly often while reading the news these days. And I think "holy shit" is also up there "awesome" for me.

Edit: oh I think I also say something like "know what I mean?" quite a lot too.

Edit 2: also "I mean". I mean, seriously.
