... 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!

I do the

"WHO IS SHE ??? "

With arms outstretched in absolute indignance at every opportunity

Yes to this! A classic. Has to be done in a screechy voice too.

I also say "you better know yourself!" Like Aisleyne, if someone i.e. DH is giving me lip.

Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper. (Substitute 'wash the dishes' or other task as required)

The first ten million years were the worst. And the second ten million: they were the worst, too. The third ten million I didn't enjoy at all. After that, I went into a bit of a decline

The secret is to keep bashing the rocks together.

Do you feel lucky punk

Big, fat Sue (short, blonde Jane add your own description)

I love so so many of these. Had forgotten about difficult difficult lemon difficult so excellent.

Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off – I love this but say it my head more than out loud tbh.

Also Take your shirt off Will and tell us :) and by all means move at a glacial pace, I use that one too (mostly under my breath tbh).

Another Terminator one we say: the xxx are here. How many? All of them I think (has to be said in an Eddie Furlong accent).

Ketryne · 25/02/2025 22:17

I quote Titanic a lot! I regularly joke about painting things like one of your French girls, as well as the obvious 'I'm flying Jack' and 'come back' said in an appropriately croaky voice.

We endlessly quote friends - lots of the ones that have been mentioned but also when our 3 year old DS makes up some nonsense that doesn't make sense, we follow it with 'Oh look cried Ned. And then the kingdom was theirs forever. The end'.

And DH and I frequently tease each other with 'Egghead likes his bookywook' from the Simpsons.

The father ted small/far away 'bit' is a regular.

And we have a baby DD with a one syllable name beginning with N, so 'oh, N**, the baby' has rather stuck since Christmas.

howshouldibehave · 25/02/2025 22:29

More tea, vicar-guess how many cups!?

They're dead, Dave-everyone's dead.

What you just said there, that was really boring, Stace.

Don't be a twat, Stace.

I'll be back, interfrastically.

It's vanished...like an old, oak, table.

It's like the blue stone of Galveston (something you have never seen, is slightly less blue, than something else you have never seen.)

All I’m saying is: if anyone you knew could, who would it be?
