Weird shit DH says

Hangingover · 13/12/2020 19:47

At the end of a work call that's been productive he sometimes says, "great, looks like we're cooking on gas then!"

I have never heard anyone say this except him. I think he's made it up and he's trying to make it happen, like fetch in Mean Girls.

How about yours?

@MintyCedric

Sounds like he's channelling Gus Hedges from Drop the Dead Donkey...

You could start to play him at his own game and for example start calling the microwave the "meee-crow-wah-vay" 😂

I’ll share a saying that sometimes results in puzzled faces.

Trunky want a bun?

Kitfish · 13/12/2020 20:54

I've heard that phrase for years. It's well known IMO.

LubaLuca · 13/12/2020 20:54

We suck diesel in this house.

I annoy my husband by saying 'righty shitey' instead of 'right then' when I decide to get on with doing something.

I die a little bit inside when people at work say 'Cool Beans!'

PhilCornwall1 · 13/12/2020 21:14

I've had a lot of "you'll have this by close of play on xxxx" from people this week.

Bugger me, I thought I was at work, not a bloody test match!!

Peanutbutteryogurt · 13/12/2020 21:15

Doesn't everyone say "bless me/you?" What do you say?

You don't need to say it to yourself surely

binkyblinky · 13/12/2020 21:19

I say it!

PhilCornwall1 · 13/12/2020 21:25

Doesn't everyone say "bless me/you?" What do you say?

No!! As of 2020, you sneeze near someone and they shout "fuck you!!".

Fluffycloudland77 · 13/12/2020 21:25

Noodle Doodles?? Kill him. Do it tonight before you have to serve noodles again.

He’s lucky you let him get this far.

pinkdragons · 13/12/2020 21:26

Doesn't everyone say "bless me/you?" What do you say?

No. No I don't say 'bless me' after sneezing. I might say excuse me. Or 'bless YOU' to someone else if they sneezed.

I heard this from Hubby and have used it to great effect over the consequent years 😏

Haha Hangingover glad it’s not just me. I work with a load of youngsters and they think I’m a bit mad 🤣.

I dont suppose anyone says this “Of course you can Malcolm” from some advert I can’t remember!

Ifonlyiweretaller · 13/12/2020 22:59

"Of course you can Malcolm" was an advert for Vick Sinex. " oh mum , I can't take my exams stuffed up like this" .....I was only talking about it today with my mum! That and "Second class return to Nottingham please" (said with a stuffed up nose ) which was an ad for Tunes!

My DH had many many sayings, little acorns and down there for dancing being the most frequently heard....I wouldn't mind so much but he doesn't say the full phrase just those bits!!
