... it's ingrained into your family vocabulary?

This morning: "Porridge today Gromit.
It's Tuesday".

Other favourites: "Where's the salad? Where's the salad?"

"That'll do Pig, that'll do..."

We have so many in our family!

The whole of the Fifth Element, repeatedly. 'multipass' whenever you have a pass for anything, 'it's not bizarre, it's the divine language' for whenever there's a foreign language on TV that I am asked to translate, 'you can't drink a toast with water' whenever we have a drink at night, 'Aziz, LIGHT' if it's getting dark', so many!

Yes! Multipass for us too for any id/card presentation 😃

Yes to multipass too. And since we had a sat nav that used to pronounce underpass just like she says multipass we now can only say underpass in that way.

"You set the leg". When required to make a morally tricky decision.

LookItsMeAgain · 25/02/2025 13:05

"Ginger, get the pop corn"
"Oh mee-oh, Oh my-oh, Oh Cleeveland, Ohio"
"Stand there in your wrongness, and be wrong and get used to it"
"If you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for red lights"
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful individuals can change the world"
"What's next?"
"WWLD?"

You had me at hello.
Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more.
I'll have what she's having
If you build it he will come.

Are the shades of Pemberley to be thus polluted?

Baldrick, the ape creatures of the indus have mastered this.

MissBridgetJones · 25/02/2025 13:16

That'll do donkey, that'll do.

Come the fuck on Bridget.

Actually, I'm very busy and important.

'It's too orangey for crows'. For any foodstuff that the kids wouldn't eat/like

JoanChitty · 25/02/2025 13:16

Loving all the Alan Partridge ones. I’d like to add,
”Say fat cow and put the phone down!”
”You’re a big man but you’re out of shape”
”Cairo!”

AlecTrevelyan006 · 25/02/2025 13:17

When somebody does something well I like to offer them my ‘most enthusiastic contrafibularities’.

BombayMixAllOverMyDesk · 25/02/2025 13:18

"One ping only"

(in a crap Sean Connery accent)

Manchesterbythesea · 25/02/2025 13:20

I’ve got a bone to pick with you Nidgey..

MissBridgetJones · 25/02/2025 13:20

Oh and 'sniff my cheese, sniff it you mother'

hermionegrunge · 25/02/2025 13:21

Also:

What a sad little life Jane.
Toodleoo motherfuckaaaaaa.
I'll do what I want (Eric cartman).

idrinkandiknowthings · 25/02/2025 13:23

Game over, man! Game over!!

ChippySauce · 25/02/2025 13:28

That'll do donkey, that'll do.

That's reminded me of
"Onions have layers" (Shrek)

"Hello Bambinos" (Friday Night Dinner)
"Hello Jackie"

"Hello my little prince" (Pam to Gavin)
"Alright X, how's it going, alright."
"Oh. Wot's occurrin"
"Oh. X. X the Baby. It's yer mother"

When the satnav says something like "take the next right at 100 yards" , we all reply in Uncle Bryn's voice "Why thank you".
We use far too much Gavin & Stacey quotes 🙈

Another one for "you're terrible Muriel"

"You're my boy blue!"

"So much room for activities!"

"Yarp" "Narp"

"fuckin Catelina wine mixer"

"Help me I'm poor"

"I.....declare...bankruptcy!"

takehimjolene · 25/02/2025 13:35

We do loads already mentioned.

If I ever see Crudite in a shop or on a menu (less common now that it used to be!) I have to battle not to say 'Bum, willy, toilets- I'm having mine now'(Thank you Victoria Wood). I do not always win the battle!

Also, 'There is no way this is not a good idea' - when one of us is about to do/in the process of doing something that is definitely stupid and/or dangerous. (Peep Show)

Tabitha005 · 25/02/2025 13:38

'Where the fuck is the fucking tuna' - from 'Bridget Jones' - used when looking for anything.

'Ah, Ray, the sponges moved about a foot and a half' - from 'Ghostbusters' - used when someone's talking up a lame achievement.

'I don't mind' (said in a high-pitched American female accent) - from 'The Man with Two Brains' (when Steve Martin's character says he can't bring himself to inject the prostitute with window cleaner so her brain dies last and he can harvest it for his research). Used in response to any question one doesn't care about the outcome of.

'You can stuff it up your arse for nothing and fuck off while you're doing it' - from 'Withnail and I' - used in response to either a ludicrous request or learning the extortionate cost of something.

Not from film or TV but we'll always use 'Where's me jumper? Where's me jumper?' from the Sultans of Ping song when, funnily enough, looking for a jumper.

'Dammit, Doc, I'm late for school' - from 'Back to the Future' - when running late for anything.

'I feel faan-tas-tic' - from 'Blackadder Goes Forth' (when George does drag) used when feeling particularly good about oneself when dressed up and ready to go out-out.

There are loads and loads more but these are the ones that come to mind instantly! I think my family actually speak in movie, TV, book quotes and song lyrics more than we use normal speech.

Cattery · 25/02/2025 13:39

“One more word, a little word, I’ll hit ya”
“One left and I’ve got it”
”Just getta rid of that” (as Spiros flushes the toilet)

Paul Calf’s Video Diary

”Go get the guitar”
“Both dances, both excellent dances”
”AKA you”

"The common sense of a grain weevil!"
Gene Hunt to Alex Drake in Ashes to Ashes... I use that phrase frequently!!

Bit of this, bit of that (Mr. Inbetween)

You want chicken? (To embarrassed to name the film 🤣)

BlackCatsAreBrilliant · 25/02/2025 13:47

Smug mode
The DC have started using this, even though they've never seen Red Dwarf.

Like an old oak table.
When somebody says something has vanished (Blackadder 2)

"I demand to have some booze"

Time for Bedfordshire

Fuck the fuck on

Pivot

May the force be with you

CraftyYankee · 25/02/2025 13:56

When someone in my family uses the royal we and I disagree I'll say "what's this " we" kemo sabe?"

Very obscure American TV reference😁

Also at any kitchen mishap, "Jean Luc! Jean Luc! The croissants are burning"

RainbowZebraWarrior · 25/02/2025 13:56

Anything and everything from Miranda as DD and I watch half an hour of it every night before bed. Particular favourites include:

I bloody love crisps!

Ooh, bit o' Britney

Moist Plinth

A Savoury Muffin!? Life's full of enough disappointment.

She's got a red bush.

Such fun!

You Lollop. You are one of life's lollopers.

Je suisse dans le Wrong Room

Ooh good lord that's Moist.

Love Oo!

My name is Dick Twist. Dick Twist? Dick Twist. Oh well, why not.

They weren't MY curtains.

Want a bit? Want a bit of this? (Accompanied by a shimmy of the shoulders)

Using the are we's are we?

Cold bed dance (followed by shuffling legs under the duvet)

Luckily, I enjoy living alone.

Twist Your Stick!

Thrust!!!

Bear with...

Also quite a few Simpson's quotes. In particular Ralph and the "I choo choo choose you" along with the more universal 'Supoib' 'Doh!' and 'Ay Caramba!'
