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....

I think I'm guilty of a few of these too!

My friend not only says "coolio" she also texts it :)

"Coolio Iglesias"

"Cranking it up to the Pepsi max"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Since we went to stay with his brother four years ago every time OH goes for a poo he days "just going to drop some kids off"

Says sorry

My sister instead of saying uh-oh says 'uh-oh spaghetti-oh's' WTF is that all about?

In what context on God's earth would anyone say 'cranking it up to the Pepsi max'?

Did anyone else wonder what he'd be like in bed?

My ex says 'Cool and the Gang'

God.

I sometimes say ' cool in the pool ' and I always, always say 'ciao '

Is this bad?

Yes.

Yes Clara, it's bad!

I see.

Even thought I'm quite a hipster? As in, I'm trendy and down wi da kidz?

I'm sorry Clara, you may be down with da kidz but if you say "cool in the pool" they will hold you under

I started saying 'scary biscuits' and I have no idea why. Drives my DP nuts. Which is fair enough, it's bloody awful.

Clara. I guarantee your kids wish they could walk round like this

Oh dear, do some of these myself.

I have to say I would find some of these very amusing to hear in everyday life.

"Cranking it up to the Pepsi Max" is halarious!

I say ciao! I think o
its ok now though cos I work with 2 Italian guys who think I'm just trying to be inclusive.

I thought I was alone!!! Haha! I have a friend that I met up with after a long (2 decades) gap and am good friends with again. I soon had to tell him to please not say okey dokey. Now if it slips out, he apologizes!

Surely it has to be cool beanz for maximum effect.

Cranking it up to the Pepsi max, agghhh.

Oh I love cool in the pool and scary biscuits!

Just to add I had never heard those till is thread, brilliant! I might start using them at home (never in public!)

oky coky jiggly poky! Laugh every time she does it - and tell her why. Its unfair that she can't know how ridiculous she is. And warn her if she utters the phrase again she can get the feck out of your house. Sorted.

So how can one avoid annoying others with one's 'catch phrases'?

Is it acceptable to have several and randomly rotate them, or should they only be used in certain circumstances?
