What are the strangest phrases you (or someone else) like to say at an opportune moment? For example, two interesting ones I have heard are: "Good gravy", and "Egads"! The latter is something my mother utters on a regular basis.

This may be even more interesting given the geographical locations of TRF members.

For what it's worth, I always chuckle when I see someone write "Bugger"!

I generally make them up as I go along, but some that I do use from time to time are "pray tell", "hold the bus" and "my attention is the last thing you could possibly want".

In place of "Egad", I occasionally say, "Gadzooks".

Oh sh!t,

A couple that we use among my good friends;

"You're so stupid, you thought asphalt was rectum trouble."

"When your mother was pregnant with you, did she get arrested for carrying a little dope?"

dman · 7 February 2008, 02:11 PM

Nothing more odd than JJ saying this one is a keeper.

Stranger than that is the fact that I don't turn lobster red after being in the sun for ten minutes! You know what I mean.

Has anyone come up with these yet:

That's as useful as going after a bear with a switch.

That poor soul's been beaten with the ugly stick.

More to come as I think of them....

One of my favorites is a line that Christian Slater dropped in True Romance

"She looks like she fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down"

"Half a bubble off plumb". Old Southern accusation, indicating someone is not completely vertical, or level-headed in their thinking. Someone who's "not right in the head".

Originated with old style garage tire/wheel balancers that used oil-filled glass indicators utilizing a small air bubble in the center of the indicator's top, when the tire/wheel combo was properly balanced and ready to install.

For example: "Man, JJ's about half a bubble off plumb ain't he?"

Incurable · 9 February 2008, 12:38 PM

or... "One sandwich short of a picnic"

My father who is an expat from England and retired from the RAF and now lives in the Appalachian mountains of southwest Virginia says "Well, Hellfire" on a regular basis. Nothing out of the ordinary by itself but say it with an English accent when you are trying to fit in with your Appalachian Mnt buddies and it takes on a whole different meaning. Makes me chuckle.

"A couple of fries short of a Happy Meal"
