Just invented a new saying and I quite like it

Very random, but Just got in from work, hungry & bothered. Something annoyed me, so I said to myself, "oh shit off" and I must admit I quite like it, I will be using it in the future.
What are your new words/sayings you've invented & taken a liking to?

My mother has taken to referring to brunch as blunch. I don't think it'll catch on 😂

user1496146479 · 19/07/2025 06:30

We say dunch or linner! 😂😊

“Don’t put it down put it away”.

Caught myself saying that I was 'Starved to a crisp' when i was very hungry recently (my brain having merged 'starved' with 'burnt to a crisp).

I like it and want to use it in future.

I also made an effort to get 'J-Po' to catch on in my household as a term for jacket potato, but everyone' rolled their eyes and I gave up.

Purplecatshopaholic · 19/07/2025 06:38

@PlasticAcrobat, j-po is genius and already inserted into the vocab in the Purplecat household!

PlasticAcrobat · 19/07/2025 06:43

Yay! My work is done. A prophet is never respected in her home town.

Verywindyday · 19/07/2025 06:44

Jackets potatoes are know as JP’s in our house.

IHateEmptyPockets · 19/07/2025 07:18

@PlasticAcrobat J-Po is brilliant, I had one for dinner last night 😆

Ha! You’re claiming this one? Don’t think so

happysunr1se · 19/07/2025 07:37

We call them Jackie P

Your witty response made me chuckle this morning😂Really fancy a J-Po for lunch now.

Bluezoo123 · 19/07/2025 07:48

We call tomato ketchup Tommy-K but I'm sure that's one that lots of people use!

LaMarschallin · 19/07/2025 07:51

Yup, lots.
Heard it first on Would I Lie to You a good while back - think it was Georgia Toffolo going on about Tommy K.

DucksGiven2 · 19/07/2025 07:53

DH and I have lots of silly phrases. One that comes to mind (because I had some yesterday) is that we call cottage cheese 'fromage cottage'(to rhyme).

Loubylie · 19/07/2025 07:56

But what does it mean?

kissmyfatass · 19/07/2025 07:56

Cock off.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 19/07/2025 07:58

You’re really tickling my goat = you’re really pissing me off getting on my nerves in our house

MeAndMyGhost · 19/07/2025 07:58

A kettle of shit.

Brain was running at 100 mph and the two blurred. I think it fits!

“Don’t put it down put it away”.

My Mums been using that for as long as I can remember 😂

doneandone · 19/07/2025 08:06

Ooh there's some pearlers on here, I love them! I'm always making up random words and phrases and my family just cringe, definitely going to use some of these!

Barleycat · 19/07/2025 08:09

Better wet legs than wet trousers. To justify wearing shorts when it's raining in summer!

Kleptronic · 19/07/2025 08:40

'Is it chim.' In our house we love a roast chicken, which became chimkin, which became concatenated and the barometer by which absolute super tastiness is measured.
