This thread is for the things you say in your day-to-day life that may or may not be in usage in the broader public. Most of my phrases are borrowed from older black men and women I respect and think are cool. Example: "I hear that hot shit": a sarcastic response to someone making a ridiculous statement. "Sometimey": someone who is inconsistent with their treatment of others. Sometimes they're nice, sometime they're complete and utter pieces of shit. "I quit recess because I don't play": emphasis for how strongly one feels about any given issue. Also, bravado/a. What are yours, folks?
This is amazing. I don't know that I have anything like this, but one of my personal mottoes is life is too short for boring dress socks.
I say "fine and dandy" a lot. I've noticed recently that "absolutely" and "perfect" are two of my most used words with customers at work.
I say "read a book" as an insult a lot when someone is wrong, or at least when I think they're wrong.
"Long" or "glum" - when something isn't good. "Ah, that's long"/"ah, glum" "Bore off" - get lost/fuck off
I say "That's fair" all the time as just a neutral, fill-in phrase when I don't actually have a response.
I've had conversations with numerous people about our distain for when our one friend says "Fair Enough" we're all on board with it being a terrible response
I say "C'ya" super smugly like the Smug Alert episode of South Park. I suppose that's the only one I do intentionally and don't totally hate. I say "No shit" a lot when I agree and I hate it because it sounds sarcastic. I try to stop myself. And "For sure" is still stuck around from my days of hanging out with stoners.
"Don't tempt my tummy with the taste of bites and honey" A friend of mine says this whenever someone offers him something repugnant.
Every time I say this the person hasn't seen Wedding Crashers and it always ruins the phrase having to explain it.
"I smell what you are stepping in" which means I understand what you are saying but everyone's guess is that it has something to do with being full of shit.
