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

Also "oop" in place of oops when almost running into someone

In reply to the universally misused greeting "How are you?" I frequently say, "good enough."

"What are we, neckbones and gravy?!)"

Used when someone says that no one is here, obviously ignoring you - and anyone with you.

Me: "Hey!" Them: "Hay is for horses!" Me: "And cows and goats and pigs like you!"
Also: "donkey" instead of "danka" which translates to 'thank you' 🤷🏽‍♀️.

When someone shows you who they are,
Believe them

An ex boyfriend's mother used to say "Have fun storming the castle!" whenever anyone excused themselves to go to the bathroom. (Line from The Princess Bride.)

Stuff I use regularly:

Single word substitution: piehole
Unit of Measurement: c*nthair
Movie quote: "Daniel-san! Dis no tournament! Dis for REAL!!"
Asking someone to wait: Hold yourself
In state of extreme distress, usually directed at objects or situations: F*ck you f*ckin f*ck
Trying to bring back: groovy, far out, greenhorn, piker
In trying to understand/explain emotional/spiritual resources being navigated exactly
like money: emotional currency
Expressing the dynamic of vulnerability, intimacy, and transparency in relationships:

Referencing the concept of epigenetics before I learned it existed: emotional heredity

I probably have a whole lot more, will add to comments any good ones I remember

"Until that happens, a lot of water will flow down the Rhine."

I gotta pee like a racehorse

"That bad Oscar." I've only ever heard my mom say it, and apparently it was a slang she and her friends used in the 70s. Like, say I had difficulty opening a jar, I'd say, "That bad Oscar gave me a workout," or something like that. My mom passed away five years ago, and before that I never in my life uttered this weird phrase. But since she's been gone I find myself saying this constantly, totally unintentionally. It always makes me smile and think of my weird lil mama!😍

Oh, prosciutto!! (Clean expletive)

Cheese and rice or cheese and sprinkles = Jesus Christ

"Where ever you go, there you are!
The Little Rascals, (aka: "Our Gang",) around 1930.

Life sucks, then you die

"The cheese slipped off the cracker with this guy." First time I heard this was Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario (Canada) to describe what he considered basically to be a controversial mix of stupidity and insanity. Regardless of what you think of the backstory behind this response (should you look it up), it's a ledgendary phrase in and of itself that makes me chuckle.

Great gobs of goose grease!

"You dug the grave, now go lie in it"
To be honest it's just that I've never heard my version.
