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?

On our recent holiday our 2 catchphrases we're...

"There's a snake in my boot" like woody in toy story. Not sure how it started but ended up with a toy snake being left in all the shoes

And our favourite...
"People are dicks" which came about from all the whinging my 12 year old did about people she knows. That ones got some longevity I feel...she loves a whinge!

Every time anyone is holding a watermelon: "I carried a watermelon!"

Love this classic from Rita, Sue and Bob too

Milk is "milky milky" from the Mary Whitehouse experience

Another Rita and Sue one: "I thought I were great!"

Whenever we go to a restaurant and are offered a choice between a regular table and a booth, we have to say “it’s much more romantic in a booth…” (Bottom).

Instead of saying a definite yes, it’s a-WOOF.

When something obvious is worked out, we say “Oh, it’s a scythe….!” (Blackadder II).

Cutlery is referred to as "knives und stabbing veapons".
