Question of the Day: Tues. Jan. 12 2010

Do you have a "trademark" saying? A word or a phrase that you use all the time?

I would say my trademark word is "OK".

Instead of swearing I say "Lordy Mc Craken"

great question....

As well said once Bartholomeo Simpson

Ay Caramba!...



...

I do, but its not repeatable

I cycle through stupid little catchphrases every few weeks. I usually pick them up from movies

My usual instead of swearing is "Freakin A" other than that I dont really say much of anything because my talking consists of typing on the computer or texting...lol...I despise talking on the phone!

Bite Me!

When I came back from vacation, my co-workers said something snarky to me and I responded with "Bite Me!" He started laughing and said, "She's back!"

When my other co-worker was doing something with his cell phone, he got the reponse that says "Please say a command." And he reponded with "Bite Me!" And he thought of me right away.

My DH gave me a cute Tabasco t-shirt that says "Bite Me!" on the back.

I made a smiley icon gif for another board forum where the icon is dancing and holding up a sign that says.......yep, you guessed it.......Bite Me!

So...Bite Me, it is. (Or when my co-workers really get snarky with me, I respond with "Bite-th Me!" Then they know I'm really serious.)

Yeah, but I had to work to quit saying it; it's the word "crap." I do still think it a lot, though, there's a lot of it around.

My favorite phrase is not repeatable here, but I had someone tell me the other day that they found themselves saying 'gotcha' a lot and attributed that to me lol.

'just sayin'..I seem to say that a lot.

Same here

Hmm... I always tell people to drive safe when they leave me, because my younger stepsister got killed in a car wreck, (9.12.02) and I have said that ever since. Honestly though... I think it would be...

Be safe.

Whenever a telemarketer calls I just say No hablo inglÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]s, yo hablo español. And then if it turns out that they speak spanish I change it to german and say Ich spreche nicht Spanischen, ich spreche Deutsches . It's a good way to mess with people. Another one I use a lot is "whatever floats your boat"

More like "alike minds think they're great"

I say "Holy Mister!" a lot.....and "Geeze Louise!" I've really tried hard to clean up my language. I used to have a pretty bad potty mouth.

Wow. Thought long and hard on this one and realized as I started to type this that I say "wow" a lot. I tend to say "hey, what's up" a lot.

Hmm... I tend to say "ai..." "ai yai" or "oi" a lot! I like sound effects. 'Cause I also tend to say "hmm", "psh", "uh-huh".

Being a California girl, I used to say "like" and "whatever" a lot in high school (what a stereotype!), so had to get out of that... And it annoyed me that whatever thing I started saying I kept saying... So that's when I switched to sound effects!

Oh, but I do like "whatever floats your boat" too! And a few others that I just can't think of at the moment...
