Just that really. She is staying at the moment and everything is okey-frigging-cokey. I know I'm being intolerant and unreasonable but it's really irritating....

You need to take her 'okey cokey' and raise it to a cheery 'okey dokey pig in a pokey!'. Out-annoy her. It's the only way she'll learn.

FrigginRexManningDay · 01/03/2014 08:42

Or okey dokey artichokey.

Weathergames · 01/03/2014 08:43

I have a friend who says "Coolio" Grin

Only1scoop · 01/03/2014 08:44

My dp says 'okey cokey' I absolutely hate it. Makes me want to strike him Blush

Nevercan · 01/03/2014 08:44

Maybe she doesn't know she does it. Next time she says it say you are only allowed to say that 3 times a day lol

thegreylady · 01/03/2014 08:57

Loving the suggested responses!

ISeeYouShiverWithAntici · 01/03/2014 09:05

I have a friend who used to say 'or whatever" at the end of every sentence. Or whatever. Whether it made sense or not. Or whatever. So, in order to ensure her continued survival, I gently and lovingly trained her out of it.
or whatever...

HellonHeels · 01/03/2014 09:07

My colleague says okey cokey! It also makes me want to commit murder.

Glad I'm not alone.

Simply give her an electric shock every time she does it. Train it out of her.

diamondlizard · 01/03/2014 09:17

lol i think its quite sweet really

Hassled · 01/03/2014 09:21

My otherwise quite sane and reasonable ExH has his mobile pre-programmed so that when he types OK in a text it gets sent as "Okily Dokily".

He knows my views on this, in some considerable detail.

BullieMama · 01/03/2014 09:34

Reminds me of Pauline from The League of Gentlemen oakey cokey pig in a pokie ! Does your sister in law like pens??

MintyChops · 01/03/2014 09:37

Perhaps okily dokily punchy facey would cure her? So so glad you all hate it too, thought I was being really intolerant!

You need to show her a clip of Pauline from the League of Gentlemen. That will shut her up. Ask her is she an egregious person.

Crowler · 01/03/2014 10:19

Cool beans.

MintyChops · 01/03/2014 10:25

Ha ha ha, these are great. At least I want to laugh at her now instead of chokily dokily-ing her....

OP posts:
eeetheygrowupsofast · 01/03/2014 10:27

Oh dear God I say every single one of these - except cool beans which is surely far far worse??

Crowler · 01/03/2014 10:30

"Cool beans" should be criminalized. My former manager at a major consultancy used to say this in customer presentations. It was cringe-inducing.

claig · 01/03/2014 10:32

YABU

Just because she thought of saying "okey cokey" before you, is no need to feel envious.

Join in and say "rightio" as well

figgypuddings · 01/03/2014 10:36

She has forced 'Okie from Muskogee' into my head.

DuchessFanny · 01/03/2014 11:31

I used to work with a guy who said 'okey dokesssss' every single time he spoke ... made me want to throw my chair at him.

KenyanSunrise · 01/03/2014 11:33

Oh dear (hiding face) I say okey dokey and coolio and cool beans!!! I am clearly going to have to think before I speak (or text) from now on (sad face)
