S.L.A.P. and the Power of Personal Catchphrases.
By MizFit | July 26, 2008
Subtitle: Random Saturday musings up in herre (triggered by lack of sleep thanks to the Toddler Tornado? Who can say.)
To know MizFit in real life is to know she adoreth all things movies.
All things.
Watching them. Viewing the same ones multiple times. Quoting them. All of it (if by all of it you do NOT mean dressing like characters—which I dont.)
As we’ve previously established the brow matters not to me either.
Ill go lowlowlow (that’s a shout out to YOU Mister Will Ferrell) and highhighhigh (waves to Sundance award winners).
One of my quoting faves is the piece of cinematic wonderment which was Mean Girls.
(yes the book was better. yes LaLohan is on the fast track to Nowhereville but that’s a post for another day)
and one of my FAVE scenes is when one of the Mean Girls attempts to coin her own catch phrase of: That’s so fetch.
Needless to say it fails miserably. awkwardly. and uncomfortable adolescent embarrassment ensues.
What’s my point with all this?
Im giving it a go.
A S.L.A.P. if you will.
With all confidence that my own form of MizFitMiddleAge-awkwardness shall ensue (and some hilarity as well? eh, we shall see).
My new catchphraseword? S.L.A.P. Sounds Like A Plan.
Im gonna start utilizing that fucker phrase TODAY in all possible conversations and Ill letcha know how it goes.
You swinging by here on a weekend?
leave me a comment as to what YOUR new catchphrase might be.
Inquiring MizFitMind wants to know and, while I cant promise it will sweep the nation/world, I can promise there mightcould be a treat coming your way if you participate.
Im off to workout. S.L.A.P.

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your comment! Looks like fun here!!
July 26th, 2008 at 6:11 am
Those toddlers!
I am just a guy on a journey <—–me
Happy Saturday to you!
July 26th, 2008 at 6:52 am
Hmmmmm, my new catch phrase…. I’ll have the think of one. My husband HATES when I say yuh’s. I’ll use it is a sentence, “What can I get yuh’s” I guess Its kinda like y’all. drives him bananas.
I have a todler tornado too. I hear ya!!
July 26th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Man, Sorry about TT waking you up. Maybe I need to get my kids to talk to her about proper sleeping habits for toddlers.
I have no idea for a catch phrase, but I will try to work in S.L.A.P today.
July 26th, 2008 at 7:13 am
TT waking you up on a Saturday, no less! Yuck-o.
Good idea about the catchphrase, S.L.A.P.!
And, PS: Thanks for weighing in on the push-ups. I was feeling like a weakling and hearing from others so totally helps keep me going
July 26th, 2008 at 7:19 am
I don’t have any original catch phrases. I tend to pick up whatever those that I’m around (even if that’s in the virtual world) are saying. But I do say “Good Deal” a lot (instead of yes, okay, or that works).
But if I think of another one that’s catchier, I’ll pass it along. Sound like a plan? Good Deal. = D
July 26th, 2008 at 7:22 am
Mark? Roobabs?
I heart ye.
M.
July 26th, 2008 at 7:23 am
Do you pronounce it “slap” or “ess-ell-ay-pee”?
July 26th, 2008 at 7:28 am
At work the kids new thing is adding “that’s what she said” to the end of what someone else says. They are so witty!!
i.e. if you say i’m not sure i can do this (they say) that’s what she said
July 26th, 2008 at 7:48 am
tee heee.
I don’t know if I can come up with a catch phrase…I do say “it’s like that sometimes” pretty often. One that cracks me up “WTF”. I use it in school in front of the kids sometimes, but I say “What the flip?” “What the frog?” “What the fetch?” (thank you Ghost Hunters) It makes me laff and surprises the kids cuz they expect an f-bomb.
It’s my 25 year class reunion this weekend. Some of those people look so OOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLD. Fat don’t wrinkle! Praise the Lord!
July 26th, 2008 at 7:53 am
O
M
G
Fat don’t wrinkle could be a great RANDOM catch phrase.
‘Ok dear. I’m off to see the movie—-have a great day. Love you! Fat don’t wrinkle!’
M.
July 26th, 2008 at 7:56 am
Sometimes I say “nosome”
when something is NOT AWESOME
That’s kindof my catch phrase if you will.
Sometimes I say “what the fudge?” or “shut the front door!” instead of cursing
…but I didn’t make those up.
July 26th, 2008 at 7:58 am
I love it!
July 26th, 2008 at 8:15 am
Oooh, you know how I love acronyms! This one will be on an index card on my sun visor within the hour.
I use JOLT a lot (Just One Little Thing). It started as a motivation theory–all I had to do each day was Just One Little Thing to contribute to my improved fitness. A year later, when I catch myself committing random acts of something goodforme (like doing the navel-into-spine thing between stoplights or freeway exits), I reward myself with a sometimes whispered, but usually shouted JOLT!
I am easily entertained.
July 26th, 2008 at 8:16 am
The Bag Lady needs more coffee….S.L.A.P!
She has many phrases she uses - but she can’t think of a single one right now - must be suffering from exam anxiety (again!)
July 26th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Hmmm. My husband has enough catchphrases for all the Mizfits whose Saturday morning brains are on strike.
I’m not sure if I have a “catch phrase” per se, but my running/life motto recently is “run your own race.” I have also been known to say “oh snap” or “oh fudgesicles,” but that’s hardly original or exciting. (Speaking of SLAP, my toddler and I do “sound like a plan Stan? it’s a deal, Neal”).
Okay, but I will think of something prize-worthy . . . . . . . . I’ve got nothing. But apparently I have a frequent (also unoriginal) tendency to say “oh my goodness” a lot, because my toddler has adopted it. That’s all I’ve got.
July 26th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Ah I’m in a dire habit of saying “Sounds like a plan, Stan”. Of course that’s not mine by any stretch of the imagination. Have I coined any phrases?? I say ‘ungood’…I’m not sure if that was a figment of my mind though, probably not.
Also I say really lame things like “heavens” and “fudge” and “sugar” in place of any swear words…it’s not even a substituting effort, they pop out of my mouth first, the swearing usually follows after though, when I realise how ridiculous I sound!
Anyway, yes, I’m horribly uncreative, me.
July 26th, 2008 at 9:09 am
“Better late to the party, than never to show up at all!”
See ya, friend!
July 26th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Hmmm… I have so many strange phrases that I use, but I can’t think of any at the moment!!!
July 26th, 2008 at 9:35 am
love all of these! Mine always seems to be sonofabitch, which is going to have to be retired soon now that my son is entering the parrot stage.
So maybe “SOFAB” or how about SO-FAB? People will think I’m being so nice, when in reality I am cursing!
SLAP!
July 26th, 2008 at 9:49 am
WO Mommy? we are so alike and I LAUGHED at your comment (and it made me think of Bernie Mac, the comedian, who says Sum-ma-ma-bitch…but I digress)
and Im tired enough that when you said the parrot stage I immediately envisioned your son growing feathers.
and I love the SO-FAB.
many more thoughts for all ya’ll but, shocker, Im with Toddler @ the park about to work my core on the swingset.
SLAP,
Miz.
July 26th, 2008 at 10:43 am
You’ve coined several catch phrases that have caught on like wildfire here in blog land - chickenbus and strangerfriend being just 2.
I have too many random things that I quote to come up with my own catchphrase.
Seriously, one of the moments that cemented my relationship with Steve was him getting one of my references. There is a really old Eddie Murphy comedy tape (probably around his SNL days) that I used to listen to all of the time on solo road trips. And it always (and still) made me laugh. There are several bits in there that I would randomly reference and NO ONE had ever gotten one of those references before. But we were out doing something and I said (in a very non-politically correct and badly done Asian accent) “What a bargain!” And he finished the reference for me. I knew then it was love. I flipped out that he knew the reference and we spent the rest of the day exchanging bits from that tape and then went and found it at a music store.
I always get way off topic in your comment section. LOL
July 26th, 2008 at 10:55 am
No sayings come to my mind right now but I too will try to incorporate SLAP into something today.
July 26th, 2008 at 11:18 am
Lately I’ve gotten ‘What ho, old bean!’ stuck in my head thanks to by digging companions. Long story.
Also, the youngins around here tend to use the word ’safe’ to mean cool, awesome.
Example:
‘I just got an iPhone.’
‘Man, that’s safe!’
Freakish, I know.
July 26th, 2008 at 11:21 am
IM OFFICIALLY OUT OF IT (she furiously thumbtypes praying T-Tornado doesnt make a mad dash off the slide).
safe?!
Id not even heard that one before.
it’s nucking futs! (movie? anyone?)
M.
July 26th, 2008 at 11:31 am
Not too exciting, but the kids (ages 4 and almost 3) and I are in the habit of saying, “Let’s G-O go!” and, “Is that a deal, little seal?” “It’s a deal, Mama seal”
July 26th, 2008 at 11:54 am
From one movie lover to another… The Dark Night
The Joker: I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you… stranger.
:~)
July 26th, 2008 at 11:56 am
I’m also a big fan of your strangerfriend phrase:)
My friend used to always curse by saying “f*ckmuffins on a sh*tterstick!”. I thought it was pretty hilarious (although, clearly not PG).
I don’t have a particular catchphrase thats all my own but my general philosophy is “just do it/try everything once/no regrets”. So while I don’t use those exact phrases all the time, a lot of the stuff coming out of my mouth and dancing around in my head all day is along those lines and some variation of it. I’ll have to find some kind of all-encompassing phrase to incorporate those things into one package:)
July 26th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
GAP
Go Away Please
July 26th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
my friends and I do that all the time. it doesnt catch on with other people but it makes us feel like we are in a club or something.
instead of saying “Right on” we say “right arm.” stupid shit like that.
you can use it, guys. go ahead, you know you wanna.

July 26th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
how in god’s name do you manage to get 30 comments before 1pm (MST) on a saturday?????
i love mean girls!! didn’t know it was a book though, i’ll have to check that out.
i can’t think of a good catch phrase off the top of my head, so i’m going to use S.L.A.P. today too. let’s see how it goes off!!
July 26th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
actually, when i was in highschool, we said, “that’s go” instead of that’s cool, because somebody said it by mistake once. kind of like “grool” in mean girls. does that count?
July 26th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
So this Denise Richards show was on at my in-laws today. And she said “I’d rather be a healthy bitch than a skinny bitch.”
July 26th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Heather- I really like that one!
And I remembered one that I do say all the time- do what you love. If its not for you, then find something that is!
July 26th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
I’ve been known to snap, “Everything doesn’t have to be a party in your mouth.” when friends have whined about not wanting to drink water because it doesn’t taaaaaaaste goooooooood (said in whiney voice).
Sometimes that’s been misinterpreted.
July 26th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Oooh, S.L.A.P. I say the long version of that a lot, so I may start using it.
At one time I tried creating a new punctuation mark, but it never quite took. It was the “_” It was basically not a period, nor an exclamation point and was supposed to show uber disappointment or sarcasm. As in, “Today it’s 95 degrees with 90 percent humidity. I can’t wait to get out and run_”
See? More dramatic than a period!
July 26th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
SLAP, mizfit. SLAP.
July 26th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
First off, I LOVE SLAP! I may have to use that today, although the humor may be lost on the dogs…
All of this just brings back memories of high school…
“cool beans - frijoles!”
“I’m just cool like that”
“You ain’t gotta go home, but you cain’t stay here!” (at the end of too many parties I remember)
Okay, I ran into a mental roadblock, but you get the picture.
July 26th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
ok. as usual you are all TOO funny & creative.
It’s gonna have to be a random number generator up in herre to pick the winner.
That said, I’m confident I appeared mildly insane today as I staggered about in the heat muttering/trying out all yer catch phrases.
Love it.
M.
July 26th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
LG: Let’s go.
I guess after you’ve been blogging for a while you get to make up your own words and phrases, kind of like great authors do (Lewis Carroll comes to mind).
July 26th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Gotta go thru it to get to it
July 26th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
I’ve got some of that Mizfit contagion with my lingo lately.
I use “mightcould”, “upinhere”, and “that’s not how we fly/roll” often.
Last night I was a beer party….ummmm….cook out, and my friend was trying to get her hubby’s attention for a beer refill. I said, “His ‘beerdar’ must not be working.” Beerdar: the instinctual awareness that someone needs a beer
I bet one could have all kinds of ___dar.
Sweatdar
cookiedar
geekdar
stupid-dar
I know there is already “gaydar”…
Just a hungover brain trying to recover. (How can I be hungover? It’s after 4:00! I guess I have an ancient recovery system. Geez.)
Fat don’t wrinkle!
July 26th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
seriously, hugh’s mom, it would freakin’ kill me if you sauntered around town ending all conversations with a tossed off:
Fat don’t wrinkle.
Comedy. Gold.
M-dar.
July 26th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Um, Mean Girls is my most favorite movie! I looooove Tina Fey. She’s basically amazing.
“You go Glen Coco!”
July 26th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Well seeing as I have a new catch phrase, I’ll just tell you aboutg that
. “hey, dog!”, “what’s up dog?”, and “doggers…”. Has it caught on? I guess, since my friends are saying it now. Hey, I think I’ve started something!
July 26th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Xenia, you a brit? I got “safe” a few years ago from my british friends and LOVED it.
I sometimes say hogglebosch or hoggleberries when something isn’t going my way.
back when real world chicago was on I stole nevin from them, as in never ever to the 10th power.
My ex roommate says false a lot when he doesn’t like something. For instance if someone cuts him off he’ll say “false”. Its kind of awesome and super catchy.
July 26th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
OMG! My best friend Nick and I use SLAP all the time! We are notorious for making acronyms out of everything when we chat via IM. Now it’s actually taken over when we are just talking to each other and not in IM. We verbalize most of our acronyms now. Our other friends have teased us about having our own language. LOL
Here’s just a few of our other favorite Nick/Mel’isms:
Yee - derived from YYII (yes, yes it is)
Titti - derived from TITTI (this is the time I) example: Titti go home or Titti say goodnight
Tiu (rhymes with dew) - derived from TIU (that is unfortunate)
Tif - derived from TIF (that is fortunate)
Tiffy - derived from TIFFY (that is fortunate for you)
July 26th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
My latest one has been “F#$$ the What”. That needs explanation and it only makes sense to me and hubby which makes it fun but probably only to us LOL still you can.
Hubby and I have a history of putting into common use phrases and words that are messed. For example, hubby couldn’t remember the bird called a chaffinch. Everytime he saw them he would try to remember and call them cohorts. We now just go ahead and call them cohorts. It gets confusing but its fun, we are easily amused.
When I started reading running forums I kept seeing the phrase HTFU “harden the F… up” and I love it. Hubby liked it too but kept started it out as WTF when in writing. So then we started using WTF to mean HTFU and now I just say F$%@ the What when it is time to kick it into high gear and jit er done.
Used in sentence it goes a little like this:
“Aw man, its cold and raining outside, doesn’t look like weather for a six K run. Oh well time to F$%@ the What, see you in a bit!”
July 26th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Wow, I have no personal catch phrases. I just follow the crowd and use other people’s. Which of course means I’ll be using a liberal dose of “S.L.A.P.” now. Although hopefully no one takes that as an offer;)
July 26th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
I love your catchphrases, MizFit! The following have found their way into my internal monologue:
please to
mightcould
yer
Mine? To running friends I am “The Mandapants” (hence the blog lol), so everything we say to each other is in the third person. Unoriginal and totally juvenile. Still snicker-inducing.
Also, beware TMI: never had one, but I’m always happy to say something akin to
“Omg that midterm was like an enema.”
Lovely, I know.
July 27th, 2008 at 2:47 am
Mean Girls is one of my fav movies to watch with my daughters! I kinda liked “It’s so fetch” and i say it every now and then lol
I was making fun of a friends texting language. Instead of typing “No worries” he types “Noz”. That’s turned into a running joke and now instead of saying “No worries” we say “Noz” in real life lol
July 27th, 2008 at 4:30 am
GREAT GOOGLE MOOGLY you guys are freakin hilarious.
again I have to say THANKS for taking the time to share and elaborate and AGAIN I have to say RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR for the winner.
WinnerS? Do we need more than one?
S.L.A.P.
M.
July 27th, 2008 at 7:58 am
MizFit:
Thanks, me too!
I thought I might have but alas, there’s nothing new under the sun (I didn’t make that up either)
It’s been linked with the Obama campaign & I must’ve subliminally picked it up from there. I love this saying because it describes the process of weight loss so well. We all want to go from a-z without hitting the letters in between.
July 27th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Ha! I love it! S.L.A.P.
I recently heard this one and found it funny: It’s your barbeque, I’m just here to eat.
Meaning: This is your thing - I’m just here for support.
And thanks for the nudge…. I needed it! =)
July 27th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Haha! My husband and I have been reliving our youth by watching those great cult favs Mall Rats and Chasing Amy (don’t think I could get all the way through Clerks again, though . . . .) and the phrase “Snoochie Boochies” kept going through my mind as I read your post. Not so sure I could pull that one off as a 29 year-old wife, children’s book author and mother of 2, though! I wish I could, though!
July 27th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Ahhhh, TWENTY NINE.
I remember ye well.
M.
July 27th, 2008 at 11:02 am
so… you’re going to start your own catch-phrase?
SLAP to me…
July 27th, 2008 at 11:45 am
Thanks for your post!
I’m with you on the carnivorous-ity. People trying to get me away from my eggwhites is cause for a bop on the head, no matter how cool Pollan is.
Also, I didn’t realize regular (read: Oh Boy! Oberto’s) beef jerky was so bad compared to the HQ stuff (the one you list, for example, or Trader Joe’s). I salted my jerky with tears upon finding it laden with HFCS. *sad face* Will have to order the good stuff online.
July 27th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
“S.L.A.P.” LOVE IT!!! :0D
July 27th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Mine sign off on my blog is
Happy Training,
Love Jenn
Does that count?
And yes MizFit, your training should be happy or else why bother. Thanks for the comment on my blog. Love it, SLAP!
July 27th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
My teen daughter hates it when I use catch phrases. I always tell her that: “I’m pickin up what she’s puttin down.”
she grimaces every single time.
If I really want to push her buttons I say something like,
“I’m smellin what your steppin in.”
I also say,
“If that’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right.”
But that’s usually when I’m eating tiramisu.
July 27th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Giyen? I’m confident there shall be a LOT of grimacing up in herre during the tween years.
What I say.
What I wear.
My bandannas.
My tattoos.
My BEING
I can only hope to weather the storm & begin to batton down the hatches *now*.
S.L.A.P. (I know. but you knew it was coming…no?)

Love these entries! Hmm… let me see:
Going to the gym: Time to get my sweat on!
I hate hate hate the magazine muscle and fitness. My new name for it is: ‘muscle and fiction’
If anyone shops at whole foods then they know the better name for that place is ‘whole paycheck’.
Remember Jack from the show ‘Will and Grace’? Remember his catchprase in the gym to get people fired up? ‘Strike it!’ - then other people in the gym start using it ROFL!

Yeah, I love that movie. My favorite part is right after that, where Queen Bitch says, “Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen! It’s NOT. Going. To. Happen!!” I quote that at my 16-year-old all the time when she uses odd sayings.
However, I like SLAP. I also like “well, that just sucks green monkey butt” which is my personal catch phrase. Gross, graphic, and weird, but hey, that’s me.
V.
July 27th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
that’s the scene, Valerie!
(and yes, Im honest enough to realize that SLAP is fetch-like as well.)

July 27th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Lately my big thing is saying “I may or may not have…” when you totally know I did it… like Saturday I kept saying “I may or may not have had to much to drink last night.” Or “I may or may not have eaten the last cookie.” Or in Vegas all you would hear me say, “I may or may not have gotten that guy to buy us free drinks.”
July 27th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Hmmmm-you always have me thinking. I need to figure out my catchphrase. Now I won’t be able to sleep until I come up with one!
July 28th, 2008 at 12:18 am
I gave you an award. It’s on my blog, when you have time.
I have no catchphrase. Interesting idea, though.
July 28th, 2008 at 7:15 am
for a long, long time, I tried to incorporate the phrase, “That must be jelly ‘cuz jam don’t shake like that!” Now my own creatin, obvs, but I love it. I never seem to remember to get it in tho!!
July 28th, 2008 at 7:54 am
Man, I know I say weird stuff that could be called a catch phrase, but I cannot think of it. The two things that keep popping in my head are…
1) “You know my brain doesn’t work anymore.” Which I say after every time I say something stupid. This started after I had kids. The fact that I can’t think of a catch phrase is case in point.
2) “Pee in the hole!” Which I say to Kent every time he starts getting carried away at the potty and peeing on the floor, feet, sister. This could really translate to all aspects of life, no?
Sorry I don’t have anything better, but like I always say, “you know my brain doesn’t work!”
July 28th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Pee in the hole?
Does it get better than that?!
And yes.
I’m gonna draw a winner….soon.
Hoping to draw more of you out with your hilarious phrases.
Pee in the hole,
Miz.
July 28th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Lovin’ the SLAP!!! =)
I use a positive one for myself… I try to stay LIT! (no not like that!!) LIT: Livin’ in Today!
I keep negative thoughts about past bad decisions by staying LIT!
Kinda, corny, buy hey, whatever works, right?!?!?
July 28th, 2008 at 8:34 am
fav pg swear words…
motherfather and beans and rice…..that is when i remember to clean it up and don’t let the real shit slip right in front of the boys.
fav saying…..
be that girl!!!
big motivator for me…i so want to be my version of “HER”!
there is some way funny stuff on here…i know i’m late but thanks for making my monday morning!
July 28th, 2008 at 9:02 am
My catchphrase, which got me through a lot of rough soccer days, is FIAKOG.
F It And Keep On Going.
Still works now!
July 28th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Um…good luck with that…LMAO
Thanks for de-lurking at my place!

July 28th, 2008 at 9:35 am
I’m on it! I’ll test the waters with it tonight!
July 28th, 2008 at 9:41 am
I am simply at a loss for words after reading these comments. My creativity juices went into hiding out of fear of being mundane and not humors at all with my catch phrase. But I really did enjoy these—fat don’t wrinkle. Hehe.

July 28th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Me and the boyfriend say olive juice in place of I love you for the silly factor.
We always say “it didn’t (doesn’t) suck” for things that aren’t so bad, but aren’t so great either. Example:
How’s the traffic coming home?
It doesn’t suck
Did you enjoy the movie?
It didn’t suck
July 28th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
I constantly say “holy shit”, but then, not so new. Nor so made up by me. Nor always appropriate…in church.
I love to say “that’s FIERCE” around my friend’s tweens. Make ‘em think I’m all supa cool, which of course, I am.
July 28th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
while my dad is the king of funny/random phrases (that he thinks are real, normal ones) I might be the king-in-training… my current favorites are
WHATEVS.COM (instead of Whatever)
and
TOTES.EDU (instead of totally)
my fiance and a few of my friends have reluctantly starting saying them too, and although they say they are embarrassed, I know they are secretly happy that these two phrases have entered their lives!!!

These are Hil-larry-ous~~~ So FUN!
My friends/sister and I say weird things, such as:
IYKWIM = If you know what I mean
GOY = Half girl, Half Boy
Gotchies or Gotchers= Underwear
For Sheez = For sure
Schmar-weenie = martini
He’s sucking his own c0$k = he’s a bad driver
AWF = Angry white female
Hairless Cat = My best friends hair style
Boo boos = boobs
We also shorten all our words, such as
Totes = totally

I enjoy torturing my children (ages 10 and 12) with lots of Snoop Dogg talk — they’re particularly mortified when I say, “Fo’ schizzle.”
I’ve also been known to blurt out, “Mother pusbucket” when I’m mad. They finally saw Ghostbusters recently, so they get that one.
And MizFit, I thougth SLAP might be referring to Moonstruck (Geez, I’m really showing my age here). For a long time, my friends and I used the expression “needing a Cher slap” when someone needs to “snap out of it.” Remember that great slap scene?

oh Dara you KNOW I remember that movie and scene (Nicholas Cage? what happened to ye?).
and perhaps I shouldnt come to visit you.
please to tell your children the Renaissance Man and I are seeing Snoop Dee Oh Double Gizzle (and 311) in concert this weekend (if I can drag his arse home from a biz trip anyway).
S.L.A.P.-izzle

If we all start using SLAP on our blogs, I’ll bet we can have the MSM (main stream media) using it on the morning news shows in no time.
SLAP??

Ah Scale Mistress– from Matt SLAPping Meredith to the talking heads on FOX News and CNN how *funny* would that be.
They’d never underestimate to power of us women bloggers again, huh?

Miz - how I love that you are going to a Snoop Dogg concert. I love me some gangsta rap!

Ummm, and is it bad that my three year old can sing, “park it like it’s hot?”

It’s the drawstring that’s throwing you off.
Not to mention the ten ACRES of fabric in those shorts. Not good M! I am here for you!!!

I say “not a fan” all the time.. and the bad part is now I catch myself saying it in super b|tchy ways. My most recent recollection was today at work when a woman was wearing a ginormous black tube dress that was ankle length. And I blurped outloud “WOW. Not a fan.” So there’s my contribution - N.A.F.
Ginormous.. I guess that’s one too. =]

Hmm, not sure if it qualifies as a catch phrase–but here’s mine. REBOOT Yeah, it’s already a word but I’m using it in the sense of rebooting my life. I suck at the weight loss lately so I’m rebooting it. Does that work?

My catch phrase is DAP, which is Dope Ass Parking. It originated when i found a parking spot right near my apartment and didn’t have to drive around my not so safe after dark neighborhood for an hour looking for a parking spot that wasn’t eighteen blocks away. It also applies to crowded parking lots and any other situation where parking is an issue.

It always seems that phrases catch me and I’m stuck saying them over and over again until it sticks with everyone else around me. Currently it seems that instead of saying thank you or I agree with you, I’m saying “I know, right?” For example, one of my friends gave me the lovely compliment “you’re a very beautiful woman.” I could have said thank you, or go on, but no, the phrase “I know, right!?!” came out in full force. Laughter ensued and “I know, right” stuck as an answer to basically everything. Enjoy your self-confidence and self-worth! I know, right!

Um. I taught Summer School High School English, and I was informed that if something was really cool, you say….

“It slap”.
Seems like you’ll need a new phrase!

I LOVED Mean Girls. Who didn’t? That would be one, no, Who didn’t? Who doesn’t? Why wouldn’t. . .?
But it would be a catch question, another category for you Miz.

[...] your catch phrases? beyond my wildest dreams & expectations. [...]
July 31st, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Coming late to the party, but the one I catch myself saying a lot is, “Not so much with the [blank].”
“How was the movie?”
“Not so much with the plot.”
“How was the trip?”
“Not so much with the fun.”
“How was the date?”
“Not so much with the normal.”
(I can’t take credit for it, though. In true nerd fashion, I’m pretty sure I started saying it when I was watching “Buffy.”)
