Yy to flash, ahhaaaa.

We also do:
"blood", "I'll get it", in a nanny voice
If someone says listen, you have to say, do you smell something?
If someone says something daft dh says, that's crazy talk, and I have to say, no that's my brother.
Boom, is always followed by a number of other booms in the style of baldrick. The dcs do this instead of saying pop at the end of the tiny turtle song for some reason.

badders that is brilliant. I am adopting it.

"Take your teeth out, tell me what's wrong..."

Oooh OP you made it to classics!!

elQuintoConyo · 27/04/2016 20:23

DS has a wee wee song to the tune of Moves Like Jagger (is that the name? I'm v old and really dont care!). So:

Doo doo
Doo doo
Doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
I've got a wee wee, i've got a wee wee.

Whenever DH stands with his hands on his hips i ask him 'where's your washboard?' (Paul Whitehouse).

If someone mentions a war i state 'they didn't bomb Eccles!' (Victoria Wood).

I teach English and at the moment all my students are studying for exams, most of them (about 47!) for the same exam so the same pictures are being used to help with their speaking practise. At least two of them have backpacks somewhere in the photo and in my head i shout VALL DE REE [ha ha ha ha ha] VALL DE RAA

I'm getting on my own tits.

IpanemaChica · 27/04/2016 20:14

If anyone has a problem with anything I always say in a solemn voice "Houston we have a problem". Cue lots of eye rolling from the dc and Blush from me, doesn't stop me though.

DH and I always do the "have you got the key?" "I've got the secret" thing, ever since we got together at a works thing 15 years ago!

And I am always saying aloud to myself "ave a cup of tea and think about leaving the house" before I go out anywhere Confused

paddypants13 · 27/04/2016 20:07

Me and DH quote from the TV adaptation of Cold Comfort Farm

"And they'll be no butter in hell!" if the other one is harping on about some minor thing the other has done wrong.

TheCrowFromBelow · 27/04/2016 19:54

ParadiseCity I have to sing that GnR song in the manner of Julie Andrews.

We used to have "stop- NappyTime" in our house.

Open the door is ALWAYS followed by get on the floor Blush

Ememem84 · 27/04/2016 19:48

Whenever someone says "bear with me" I put my hands up in paws and growl.

I wasn't allowed to stay at the trump hotel in NYC because I giggle at the word "trump"

Colleague often says "question...?!" And I respond with "tell me what you think about me" a la destinys child.

I also sing people's names down the phone and sometimes say them/sing them with funny accents. Eg colleague Clive today was "cleeeevaaaaaaayyyy!"

gingerbreadmanm · 27/04/2016 19:40

Another one for home james Grin

Also - wheres the remote? Up jacks arse on the second shelf.

My dm always used to say when df had gone for petrol - he's ear......fell off.

thestylethatdecadesforgot · 27/04/2016 19:39

We also do arms in the air like you just don't care when getting kids dressed. And when doing a nappy bum in the air like you just don't care, my not yet two yr old now says it when I put her nappy on!

So funny so many people do the same things!

KittyKrap · 27/04/2016 19:29

My and DH do the Les Dawson KNICKERS KNACKERS KNOCKERS when hanging up underwear, with a dirty big gutting face.

And any old gentleman on the tv, sitting in a chair is always Veeeeery vrrrrrrey drunk.

tethersend · 27/04/2016 19:08

My dad is from the North East; every anyone makes reference to a meringue, I am compelled to shout "Nah, yer reet".

Itslikeyoureadmymind · 27/04/2016 19:06

I also do the "that'll do pig" from Babe.

We are all either very strange or VERY normal Grin

SpaceDinosaur · 27/04/2016 18:38

I regularly scurry around the house singing
I typically find it after about 3 lines but ALWAYS have to finish the whole mock opera!!! Grin DH is usually mildly appalled

Wheresthattomoibabber · 27/04/2016 18:36

I've just realised I do another one. I swap words and spoonerise things all the time. Someone just posted a thread that said "my soup smells of arse" so I had to post "my arse smells of soup"

thestylethatdecadesforgot · 27/04/2016 18:16

Will add more when I remember them but whenever I shave my legs I always sing 'I'm your Venus, I'm your fly trap'... GrinBlush

froomeonthebroom · 27/04/2016 18:10

When I need someone to move, I always say 'exsqueeze me, a baking powder' a la Wayne's World. Although it should be said when asking someone to repeat what they said. So i do it wrong, basically. Grin

AthelstaneTheUnready · 27/04/2016 18:09

I have to count a lot of things in my job. Very often I channel Count Duckula from the muppets, with "I luuuurve to count. Hah. Hah. Hah."

Turns out no-one knew what I was on about. They thought I meant it. Trannsylvanian accent and all.

PamelaPatriciaYouCanCallMePam · 27/04/2016 18:05

And can anyone actually say the name Craig David without singing it Bo Selecta style??
