Hey Pandas, What’s An Uncommon Phrase That You Use? (Closed)

"Chillax!" Combination of chill out and relax. Used when someone is overreacting :). The wife loves it! (I have to sleep on the couch)

When someone says to me, "I have a question." I answer, "Quest."

Jesus Christ on a crutch! Made a cop do a double take with that one. Adding the words “or no” at the end of questions.
“Are you going to the store or no?”

I've always used the term "Normaloid" to describe anyone normal, (as in not Punk/ Goth/ Metalhead/ Hippie/ Autistic/ Depressed/ Queer/ Trans.... And any other assorted freaks and outsiders.) I've haven't been normal since 1984, so "normal society" has always been pretty alien to me.... Thus "Normaloids" ( some type of alien...)

Yiddish phrase geh kaken afen yam, which literally translates to "go s**t in the ocean" but mostly means "get the heck outta here!"

Also easy peezy lemon squeezy

My dad is the only one I know that uses the word "perdner." I think it's a contraction of "pretty near."
"A guy walked out in front of me and I perdner ran him over."
He grew up in the suburbs, but sometimes talks a little hillbilly.

JoJo reference, but every time I wanna get someone's attention I scream ‘SPEEDWAGON’ and then run away.

I also say ‘I hope you have the day/night you deserve’ to anyone that’s particularly rude (walmart cashier job helped me with this phrase)

Salmon taste with a kipper purse. It means that you have expensive taste

Better to fart and waste it than burp and taste it. It's become a family motto.

I make phrases up. Sometimes they stick

Eg “Blue Gherkins!”

Or

“Holy fiduciary”

The weirder or less sensical the better

Scunnered. Scots for I am absolutely, completely and utterly fed up/done with this.

The amazing measurement of a”bawhair” - for example “I’m a bawhair away from being scunnered wae you”

Glakit aka a complete idiot.

Dreich - which is when it’s a full, grey kinda day with that misty rain that leaves you soaked

Outwith - only recently discovered this isn’t used much outside of Scotland - it’s just means outside of. It has recently been adapted to become “outwither” which is a non binary person as they are outwith the usual terms of gender which whether you’re an ally or not I think it’s an awesome phrase for this use. Same with squint, which just means something uneven but doesn’t seem to be used in the same context elsewhere, like a table could be squint but most folk would use a different way of describing it.

“Pizza bones” are the part of the crust that some people don’t eat.

Going to hell in a handbasket......it's the world currently.....

When my (mostly) teenage coworkers make a goofy mistake, I sometime say that they “pulled a boner”. Very oldschool. I also enjoy calling our hot dogs “wieners”.

"OHMIGOSH"(pronounced literally like oh-me-gosh lol) and "eezus jesus"

I often use preposterous questions for said statements. ie. “I’ve had it!”, “You’re a haddock?” And the like. Anything that may somehow sound like you heard it wrong, when you didn’t really.

Cod spammit!

Have a friend that used to call people she didn’t like “purple sheets” as a kid. We use it often now for the same purpose.

There are brown grapes in every bunch. Just choose the fresh ones- meaning not everyone will be good/kind so just accept it as normal, choose those that are and avoid the others.

"Sorry doesn't feed the bulldog!" It's something my dad used to say
