If my SIL says " okey cokey" again I'll scream.....

[MintyChops]

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....

Okey donkey is better.

I don't really mind okey dokey (or coolio, which is just silly) but okey cokey... NO!!

Ha! I though pen lady from LoG too . Put it on tonight for her to enjoy

Once I went on a date with a man who said mama Mia all the time, he said it where you'd express surprise as in oh mama Mia!

Just rap her smartly on the nose with a rolled-up magazine next time she does it, she'll soon learn.

Oh no!! I say Okey Dokey all the time... and coolio! there's a woman I know who says 'and that' at the end of every (EVERY!) sentence! Drives me mad. Maybe I drive her mad with my okey dokeys and coolios!

just say 'LOL!' loudly, with a wink, after every time she says it - as if she too is doing it as an ironic joke. It can become your own little double act. Maybe your DP can join in with a 'Tippety-top!' or similar.

Furry muffins, amazeballs!

Oh god, this is reminding me of everyone I've ever known with an irritating, continually-repeated catchphrase. I used to work with someone who began every second sentence with 'Seriously, folks...' 'Seriously, folks, we're missing our targets', 'Seriously, folks, who didn't refill the paper in the photocopier?', 'Seriously folks, anyone want to go for lunch?' And this was whether he was addressing an entire office or a single person.

NO ONE actually says 'Coolio', though, do they?

I would have to kill her!

Better than "awesome sauce".

Can you mirror write?
Do you have a marker pen?
Does she drink? (Do you see where I'm going with this)

Years ago I went on a date with a guy who wouldn't stop saying "Coolio" and even worse "Cranking it up to the Pepsi Max."

Argh!!!

I didn't see him again.

YANBU.

I have never laughed so much at a thread in my life!

I hate 'amaze-balls!'

I'd have to set her on fire.

"Cranking it up to the Pepsi Max."

No jury IN THE WORLD would send you down for this man's murder.

My in laws constantly say "windy pops" while frantically beating the baby's back. "OOoh, windy pops, who's got windy pops, oh dear, a little bit of windy pops, up you come, windy pops". It makes me want to stab indiscriminately. Especially as they think every little noise she makes indicates the onset of fecking "windy pops" so it is pretty much constant.

MN should have a 'like' button. I would use it for 'chokeily dokeily'

Loving this thread!

So very many offenders out there! I think "cranking it up to the Pepsi Max" is shocking and would deserve a punching. I am also aghast at the frantic hunt for windy pops..... A friend of mine worked with someone who used to say "tip top banana" instead of just "good". Punishable by death.

By the way she okey cokied less than normal today and I (almost) missed it (irrational emoticon).

I used to work with someone who said "cool bananas" to everything. I was very tempted to bring in frozen bananas and prod him with one every time he said it!

With the person I work with its the fact that she says it to everyone regardless of who they are. Telling someone from the crisis team you need them to come out to a client, she signs off with "okey cokey" talking to her other half its the same, there is no difference in her mind! Its just beyond me

Crap. I'm the colleague aren't I? I say all these things. It's meant to be ironic but I think after so many years ive turned into Flanders from the Simpsons.

Bye diddly okey
