"Come dressed as your favourite phrase" costume ideas

I've been invited to a 30th birthday party for which guests are being asked to come dressed as their favourite phrase! Wracking my brains for ideas but can't think of anything particularly good. I don't want to be too OTT because I'll have to wear it on a train for 2 hours.

As with the thread the other day wear a t shirt with will/bill's mother on it and stick a cardboard black cloud on your head for its black over bill's mother

Wear stripy yellow and black tights and go as the bees knees

Take a bag of chips for 'piss on your chips'

Or

All that and a bag of chips!

Carry a donkey soft toy which you've skewered with a knitting needle / similar stabby object: pain in the ass.

I'd just go in normal clothes and the phrase would be 'No is a complete sentence'.

It’s not rocket science. Lab coat and a toy rocket and possibly a graph.

Hold on tight to your dreams = go in your pjs

A MN favourite Get your ducks in a row - wear a necklace made from toy ducks or find a t shirt with ducks on it

Every cloud has a silver ling. Wear a coat with a silver coloured dress underneath

the pen is mightier than the sword. Just needs some simple props

no pain no gain - sports gear

The ducks in a row is genius.

Wear a red hat and no knickers.

ManilowBarry · 09/06/2024 14:56

Mum's the word.

Don't talk to anyone.

A leopard doesn't change its spots.

My favourite phrase is "for fuck's sake". I'm struggling to think of a costume...

itsabitdamp · 09/06/2024 16:04

Well my favourite, or at least most used phrase is "what the fuck" so I'd be scuppered.

Ifyoucouldreadmymindlove · 09/06/2024 16:37

Oh. My favourite phrase is “shit in your hat”. 😬

Justkeepswiimming · 09/06/2024 16:44

Glass half empty/full. Come with a half a pint glass full....or empty.

Just carry a toy bird and if anyone asks, say the other two are in your bush.

I went to an 'f' themed party once and stuck a condom on my nose. When asked what I was dressed as my response was 'fuck knows'. Wasn't my idea but got a few laughs.

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/06/2024 16:56

Oscar Wilde, "be yourself, everyone else is take" and wear what you like.

MoonlightMemories · 09/06/2024 17:06

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...maybe wear some devil ears/a devil tail and just be a bit off/mean to everyone at the party? 🤣

This is actually my favourite idea so far, because I just need to buy a pair of tights and not carry any props around 👍 I also love bees

Wear your normal clothes and if anyone complains say "whatever!" in a stroppy voice.

whyhavetheygotsomany · 09/06/2024 17:55

Go as yourself. I am what I am I really hate these stupid ideas

needhelpwiththisplease · 09/06/2024 20:13

Fake fur ... fur coat no knickers

Arrive late... better late than never
Wear fabulous shoes... put your best foot forward
Put a straw sticking out of your pocket... the last straw
Take pictures constantly as soon as you arrive... a picture paints a 1000 words

bryceQ · 09/06/2024 20:21

All fur coat no knickers

😂😂😂

Two guys arrive at an emotion themed party. The host answers the door to find one naked but covering his dick in a pear and the other also naked but covering his dick in a bowl of custard.

The shocked host ask what emotion they are. The first says "I've come in despair" the second man looks shocked and says "well I'm fucking disgusted".
