catch phrases and calling cards

are you aware of yours if you have them?

can people do an impression of you just by using a certain phrase?

here are 5 phrases. you tell me who is most likely to say them

1. A child posts with emotion.



2. It's beneath me



3. You can get away with that because you're a member of the cool clique



4. I hate this kind of thread, but let me tell you what i think:



5. You all hate me because I don't fit in






this was started as tongue in cheek...i hope no one takes offfense. i didn't mean it to be mean. if you think i'm fucking with you....you could offer your impression of me? cock.

UH,, WHAT??:confused:

I can easily recognise three.
I think I know another.
I'm torn on the other.

But I won't be the first to name names :)

well.....the first two are gimmes. the last three could be a few different people, i guess.

Damn - that 3 and 5 could be a number of people is a bit sad really...

I'm so glad I don't have a personality right now....lol!
:)
Never thought that would come in handy!!

[COLOR="Gray"][size=1].......cock?[/size][/COLOR]

In real life, yes, people absolutely can. But I don't write the way I talk, so you guys are denied some of my more noticeable speech patterns.

As an example, I start a ridiculous percentage of my sentences in conversation with "Yeah, no," to indicate general agreement. I have no idea where this came from, but I've done it at least since high school.

5. blind linkafter mention of bananas, phones or badgers
no idea. someone who got banned?

The blind link is lumberjim (not LJ--yet. :))

I was thinking yeppers could be any number of people too. Maybe zippy or lookout even.

yeppers is totally zippy

i always give him shit for using it

~Hooroo!

~Latro Folks!!

very distinct

hey...I know both of those ones Razz!

so far, the only ones i know without a doubt is yeppers/zippyt and i used to do 'that' for a living, and was really good at it, so i know/rzen

Re: my ass, it would have to be a picture to be me. And 8 out of 2000 is hardly what i always do... That being said, I can't think of who else this would be though....

Like Clod I think people I know would recognise my speech patterns immediately. I don't think there's as apparent in writing. Except that I use ellipses and brackets far too much.

Oh and grim makes it into the posts - I use it in speech too, trying to wean myself off it. Also babba, chick, plum and occasionally cool potatoes. I don't think I've ever used my real inanities in the Cellar though: good plan, Batman, mental, mental, chicken Oriental or I'd risk it for a biscuit.

Hmm... I bracket, I dash, the semicolon gets correctly resorted to, and my sentences grow long tails unless I trim them... that vexes Undertoad... but I think the most distinctive feature of my writing is my willingness to display learned coinings -- I like it when they're of my own invention. And I hope they aren't hemipygian.

LJ, it looks to me like tw got on the guess lists twice: #1 in the first and #3 the second? What's up with that?

it's a trap! LJ is mining for our poker tells.

(and I like to start the first sentence with a small letter)

ETA: okay looking back at a few posts that last doesn't seem reliable. Other people do it, and I don't always).

But cloud - you only do it when you have a high pocket pair.

I don't know what I do...I guess I start my sentences with "and." And I repeat myself.

well, it's really a function of his lack of imagination. he seems to use the exact same devices repeatedly. I could, I'm sure, list a dozen or so of his oft repeated phraseprints. If I was an ubergeek code maven, and had the time, I could create a program that would translate paragraphs into twese. The effort that would take would be wasted on such a small audience, though.


perhaps someone could create a form that you could fill in a person's idiomatic phrases or common word strings.....ah, nevermind.

:mock:

buahahaha....really? :p

Mine is simple in the flesh. I *pfffffff* all day, at everyone and there are varying degrees for *pfffffedness*.

I do the yeah/nah thing.

Everyone impersonates my "look", its my blue steel.

I am well known for my sympathetic streak too....when ever anyone has a whine, I pretend to rub my eyes with my fists and go "awwww waaaaaaaaah".

Its funny how people pick up these traits when they are around you long enough.

Pot calling Kettle black + Avian Polydipsomania = ?

27?

42!

hut - hut - HIKE!! !! !!

btw, I think avian polydipsomania translates to "bird multiple alcohol cravings." Not sure what that means!

It must mean cocktail binge, of course.

34

He drinks like a bird?

It's a picture of 'mocking' then a picture of a bird. I don't think I have any.

What's a picture? :confused:

Bump.

I watched a classic Red Dwarf episode before moving to London, and caught it on satellite again just after I moved. It's called Backwards and as a minor plot point, two of the protagonists think they have landed in Eastern Europe. In trying to communicate with the locals they just add "ski" to the end of everything.

I got into the habit of talking to my cats like this - for my own amusement as they didn't really get the joke. This transferred into everyday speech for some words, most often being kipski for sleep (or a nap) beerski for drink and offski for going.

Today one of my colleagues asked another, "Are you offski?"
If there'd been more of me I'd have given a Mexican wave.

Thanks Sundae. Now I have figured out where I got "yeppers" (so annoying) I must have contracted that from this thread.
:(

Terrible habit! Arrrrgh! I bet it was only something I was using here and it also slipped into my language. I do it at work too. I'm going to have to watch that. I don't work with "yeppers" people.

Our main use of the *ski* is Fuckoffski.

Hmm....beerski and offski are common currency in my circle...wonder if that's from the dwarf?



[eta] is 'baxi' for taxi used down south SG?

i've started saying 'peace' a lot lately, and flashing the two fingers. no clue why.

Honestly dunno what my calling cards or catch phrases are...oh except calling people 'chuck'....I do that a lot when I am talking. I probably have more 'catchphrases' in speech than in writing....though i think use the word 'societal' a lot in my posts.

Like Lucy in Charlie Brown.

You've caught some old hippy's flashback.

'sweet chuck' is a term of endearment in England and has been since the time of Shakespeare.

We have a similar expression - "up chuck." Like "what's up, chuck?"

Hmmmm. Up-chuck means something very different here.

Chas is more common in this country as an abbreviation for Charlie/ Charles than Chuck. In fact Chuck is only really used for comedy effect (like calling Madonna Madge).

I'd love to hear you say chuck, HLJ. I'll bet it sounds completely different than Dana (who has a lovely accent in my ears).

Thanks LJ, I stand corrected.

Well, according to my sources.
:tinfoil:

chuck, yes, sweet chuck, not so much.... your sources have been pulling your plonker, methinks....

verily they have monster.

Means the same thing here. Its part of the gag.

lol, he said 'gag'.

upchuck means ' i just threw op in my mouth a little bit'

"Greetings and Salutations"

You don't really say that? surely? eek!

Can only picture Lieutenant Steve (GMV).... :eek:

Actually l had a client who owned a retail store who said that all the time - worked with him for a decade. From what I hear, he still does. lol
