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?

@BoredZelda

Stickier than a stick insect on a sticky bun - Blackadder x

Also “I have a cunning plan”

And 'so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a fox'

depending on if things are going well or going badly we take the Lego movie song and run with it, 'everything is awesome...' or 'everythings not awesome', (always makes things awesome in the end)

I'm on it like a scotch bonnet, when getting on with any task

If anybody ever mentions the rules for something or tries to explain a set of rules, somebody in our house will always say: 'the rules are, there ain't no rules' in a terrible American accent

The biscuits.. in the style of Chew Chew from Hey Duggee

We will find song lyrics to match the sentence like the "I've got the key" example.

We end every phone call ( to each other and close family) with "smell you later" from Fresh Prince.

Gaaarlic bread, T'Eygpt, put the big light on, it's spitting, and T'internet, all Peter Kay.
Are we going out out? Mickey Flannegan
Said the actress to the bishop after anything even vaguely risque

Do lots of these including to me to you, garlic bread, and Alan Partridge ones. Also to add I'm free (from Are you being served) to note availability and from the old Nat west bank ad 'come Saturday I'm on the other side'. Usually said when discussing weekend plans.

Oh yes! You've reminded me of The Baadge when a skill is mentioned.

We do so many of these in our house without realising!😂
If a parcel is delivered it can’t be opened until someone says ‘what’s in the box?’ In a terrible American accent a la Brad Pitt in seven, if anyone asks where’s the scissors the reply is always- up my arse! I’ve no idea where that one came from!

Oh and lots of 'thats you that is' from History Today (Mary Whitehouse Experience)

We use the badge a lot too, and well done squirrel. DS has sen and adores Duggee so we watch far too much of it in this house.

Secateurs are sack-of-turds after both me and my dad simultaneously misheard my husband ask for them, and looked at each other in bewilderment!

What has a Hazel nut in every bite. Squirrel S**T....

“Badger sprout” for horseradish.
“Pinkmingo” as my DSis called flamingos as a child.
“Get your running legs on/listening ears on”.
“Was that irresistible?” From my dear, late grandad used to say to me when I used to wind up my little sister as a child.
So many more! I’ll have a think, great thread.

I'll have a T please Bob ( when asked what drink)

I love lamp (in response to I love you)

Soup soup.... (boosh style at any mention of soup)

Hmm, quite, yes (Stewie Griffin style, said when in agreement).

Shit on it (randomly and when something is no going well).

What do you want on your cornflakes darlin', I'll have some wine (Dave Lister style, whenever someone mentions something being posh)

When I was a young warthog is common in this house to.

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit (never finished and always at random).

Attack of the killer tomato's (when prepping anything involving tomatoes)

Though shall do the dance (whenever any tension needs to be broken).

“Nighty nighty, pyjama pyjama”

@Bollindger

What has a Hazel nut in every bite. Squirrel S**T....

My Dad did this one!

@TopCatsTopHat also... BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM x

Weetabix are "big bic" here.

Ooh! Also,

“When I was a puppy/when I was a kitten”

• my wonderful dad used to say to us about him and my mum, this did lead me to think that all dogs were male and all cats were female for a long time though 😂

not foodie, but whenever anything is spilled we have to quote Arkwright from 'Open All Hours' and shout 'Granville, get a cloth!'

Ooo and "just off to chop some wives", Horrible Histories style, when nipping out.

If anyone says something is disgusting it has to immediately be followed by ‘wellllll it were one o’ yas!’ In a thick Scottish accent.

'Make room for the mushroom' (sung in tune) when you need someone to budge up on the sofa - it's from an old 80s advert.

Loads from Look Around You and the Peter Serafinowicz show, particularly 'he's rapping, he's rapping, he's rappity rapping' if there's someone rapping on tv.

Sing These Boots are Made for Walking when putting out daughters boots on every since she was tiny.
