In our house it is the LAW to say

[lovablequalities]

"Basil!" in a screech à la Sybil

"Brown sugar!" In the style of Mick Jagger.

"Mangetout, Rodney, mangetout!" à la Only Fools.

OR

"What the hell is Mang-e-tout?!" À la the (American) boyfriend of a pal of mine who had never heard of it.

"Aubergine!" In a horrified tone in memory of DD2 when offered some.

What foodie (or otherwise) catchphrases do you have?

We do mange tout Rodney as well 😂

If we need the toilet we'll say "I really need a wee" in a brummie accent, it's from a curry's / comet advert about 10 or so years ago.

If anyone spills anything or messes up plans we say "you 'ave caused confusion and delay" in the voice of The Fat Controller.

Also if we talk about potatoes you have to say "he's not a potato he's got legs" from Pepper Pig about Mr Potato..

We love chocolate hob nobs but I by the supermarket equivalents if hob nobs aren’t on offer. The ones called “oaties” were renamed Oti mabuses in our house, the DC will ask for an “Oti Mabuse” to dunk in their tea

@overthethamesfromyou

Henry 8th is known as Henry Vill (rhymes with Will)

Ditto in our house! We used to have an old Ladybird Book about Henry VIII, so since a dd who yet had to learn about Roman numerals misread the title, he’s been Henry Vill ever since.

Shit on it
Nippy nippy
Garlic bread
Pivot
To me, to you
Bus wanker

We love a good catchphrase in our house

Oh on the peppa pig theme, whenever we encounter road works "we'll dig up the road!".

Ahhh, Bisto in appreciation of savoury cooking smells

DF used to say it when he smelt dinner cooking. We lived abroad, so it was years before I realised Bisto was a product and the saying was from the advert

It'll take as long as it takes

Also from Peppa Pig, when asking how long dinner will be

In addition to “PIVOT” we also have “Lift…..and slide” and my husband is a transponster since no-one has a clue what his job is about.

Also “G-g-g-Granville, f-fetch a cloth”

If anyone says "fish", someone else has to add "and a rice cake", and vice versa.

Forgot about that Sick, we do that too. Can’t quite get the delivery as good as AR

I was just about to reply then realised that these things are what passwords are made of so decided against it!!

"To you...to me" when moving anything, followed by the Laurel and Hardy theme whistled.

"My name is Inego Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die" randomly but usually a short time in advance of being whacked with a cushion.

"Listen very carefully, I shall say thees only once" in full 'Allo Allo whilst giving instructions.

"PIVOT!"

"And it was the most insert hyperbole here in the World" a la Jeremy Clarkson.

We also subscribe to the "when I was a young warthooooooooog!" game AND when anyone clunks a gear change, someone will pipe up with "why do we even have that lever?"

So many that have already been said!
In answer to what do you want on your jacket/sandwich/toast 'Cheese, please, Louise' . Never gets old.

When in a rush we like a 'Theres no Time!!!' in the style of Scully in the first movie before the bomb explodes.

Another 'tactical wee' here, from Bluey. As well as 'Janet?! I need to get some BEANS'.

(When packing up our camper van) "We're gonna need a bigger boat"

"Come the fuck on bridget" whenever DP or I are fannying about being slow to leave the house when the other is ready

Oh and a “Nintendo” is a sneaky outdoor wee (whilst hiking)

"Nuts" must always be followed by "whole hazelnuts ("huh" with hips thrust) Cadburys take 'em and they cover them in chocolate"

We can't eat soup in this house without either singing "soup soup a tasty soup soup" a la the mighty Bouche, saying soup, I can't eat soup like the lion who wouldn't brush his teeth in hey duggee.

Along with lines from Thomas books - you are causing confusion and delay AND coughs and sneezles spreading diseasels.

I have on occasion also said "chatter chatter chatter, you never stop talking" in a Suzy sheep voice - 2 dc, like to talk at me at the same time, and both think what they are saying is vitally important (it never is).

Oh and we also say "plastic oak" in the style of mr fox from peppa pig if anything is fancy .
And ive never used plastic oak as a password!!

Crimble crumble
Cheese Grommit
I don’t want to be a pie! (I don’t like gravy)
And yes to mange tout Rodney!

Oh our soups are always accompanied with 'Super!' which i think is Red Dwarf but its so old now Im no longer sure???

"Pass the salt" when anyone is getting histrionic.
