I love 'For crying in a bucket' because nothing conveys irritability on paper as much as this.

Back in RSA we use 'Just now' often. It means pretty much any time between now and the the end of eternity and it the best answer for most things.

Also 'Cosmically, it makes no difference.'

I use 'No worries' alot. It seems to cover a whole range of things. I have been told its an irrating phrase but yeah No worries

'Whatever floats your boat' is one of my faves

Would you run that one by me again there, Ted?

Fundamentally....

Right you are, so....

I use 'can't rain all the time,' lots and 'my bad' allllllll the time

My kids often hear "Do I look like I'm sitting/standing here doing nothing?" quite a bit when they're annoying me for something.

Geez Louise!

I love this because my sister's name is Louise & mum used to growl it at her when she was being a terror. And that was pretty much all of the time.

Lately, I seem to be using "I'm your mother, not your maid" a fair bit. Would imagine it will be used for many years to come ....

Keep your knickers on.

Plus we use lots of movie lines, particularly star wars ones.

"For the love of all things beautiful, will you stop talking!" because I think it's considered bad form as a teacher to say "FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST SHUT UP!!!!"

Those WERE the droids I was looking for. (That's what the picture says).

I ust swear a lot in Italian and hope no one understands, because they are really quite offensive.

I do say 'whoops a daisy" quite a lot, but then I have a 2 yr old.

"zomg", "win", "fail"

I often refer to things as "good squishee", which flies straight over the head of anyone who doesn't get the simpsons reference

Win.

Fail.

"I have duct tape"

Its an all purpose warning that strikes terror into the hearts of my children. I have duct tape and I am not afraid to use it.

'Whatever makes you sleep at night'

Were you born in a tent?

"Not happy Jan!" gets used here quite often

Whatever! and 'Awesome' gets used alot

Your mum does.

Your mum is.

Your mum can.


I say "your mum" a lot.

+1.
"Am I speaking Spanish ??' to my teenager..lol
"Fail"
"You cant just cluck and not lay an egg" for when they dont tell the whole story
"Seriously !!" from Greys Anatomy
"I swear to god im gonna hurt you" Yes, to my children..Always said with a giggle in my voice...I know..Get some funny looks at the shops..my children are clearly NOT afraid of me...They have no reason to be.....

Fail

ATA Slapper! My favourite!

'oh well, nobody died' for when things go wrong.

'whatever' used in a faux teen way between DH and I when one of us hasn't quite said/done something right

'foozle' and 'ratsy mcfatsy' instead of ****/sh*t/bugger - they're used a lot

And when somebody loses something; 'it's probably behind the sofa with Jesus'.

"Are you picking up what I'm putting down?" (ie - Do you understand what I'm saying/ Are you with me on this one?). Got it from a bunch of cards players and I regrettably say it all the time now.

I use that one on my FIL LOL.

I use "Get your hand off it Daryl" (from The Castle) surprisingly often too.

'There is no way on Gods green earth' I am going to get you a computer for your birthday/ let you jump off the roof with your superman cape on/ buy you a nerf gun/ etc etc. You get the gist.

Oh and we all love using 'Im in a MEETING' ala Barbara from Bankworld whenever we are talking and someone interupts.

Another I thought of. When my kids come to me complaining in a whine that something hurts, ie no real cries that tell you it's serious, they get "Do you need me to cut it off? No? Then quit ya whinging!" Hey, I'm a nurse. Expect no sympathy from me unless it's actually serious.

Aye, well, it's all fun and games till somebody loses an eye

Arsebiscuits

Who died and made you God?

Yeah, well, I'm decorative, NOT functional (when I stuff up)

I lost the run of myself

When I ask my friend at work if she would like a cup of coffee, her response is always, 'Hell Yeah'. And I love it. I love the way she says it.

yeah yeah blah blah
whatever

Also when DS falls in some spectacular way 'did you make a hole in the ground? Will we have to pay to get it filled?'

"Your legs painted on?" for when the kids ask me to do something they clearly just can't be a$$ed doing it themselves.

Someone else who uses 'arsebiscuits' - that's one of my DH favourites and I've never heard it from anyone else.

Suck it up princess!

Havent you got a home to go to?

Keep your wig on!

"Are your legs painted on?" usually to the kids

"there will be wigs in the green" an archaic reference to earwigs getting into the cabbages which would mean TROUBLE

"is there blood? No? You'll be fine"

"trust me, I'm a doctor" funny because it's true!

"ey, relax guy"
"so's your face"
"epic fail"
"bad, bad dog" - this was one of the first things DS1 said, and when he was little he said it to anyone who did anything he didn't like, so that's how we use it now.

Thought of some more ...

"This is going to cost me!" (from the Simpsons)

"No way Jose!". My Mum used to say this to me, now I found myself saying it to DS

"This is going straight to the pool room" (usually said about one of DS's drawings etc)

"give the dog a bone" = stop whingeing/arguing

"do I look like a cabbage to you?" = I'm not that green/stupid.

"hey put your head out the window and let me know if hell has frozen over" = when a request has been made that they know I will not agree to.

Mine atm is "Good Times" usually said mid DS tantrum in the middle of Coles or when both kids are carrying on at 5:30 wanting Dinner

Just now
Shame

DH says "that really grates my carrot" when he is annoyed, so funny!

ROFL - I use your face all the time.. Even when it doesn't fit. My brother asks me something... "Your face!"




I also use this one!!

FTW
lawl
Suck it up princess

I use some from when l was a kid that l heard a lot and some make me laugh, but l say it before realising what l am saying...

Like "Act your age not your shoe size" to my 3 year old and 5 year old
"every man and his dog is here" this confused my kids as we were at the pools and they wondered wherre all the dogs were cos they could not see them.

Others l have used
"call someone who cares" to the kids when they are aruguing or whinging or fighting.... and l ams ooo over it.

Oh yes l have used were you born in a tent.

"do you like living in a pigsty"

hehe, I say "Let me just get up out of this hammock."

I forgot that we use this one quite a bit. DD1 now says it to DD2 if she falls over. (DD2 is only 18 months, so she can stumble quite a lot) Too funny!! We have got a couple of weird looks when we have said this while out and about (at parks, perfect example)

This reminded me of another charming one of mine! I say "your a*se".

If someone says "you're lazy" my response would be "your a*se is lazy". It generally makes no sense. Which fills it with win.

When there is no kids around I often use FFS (in it's full glory) when something gives me the poops.

Also,

what in the name of all things green....
For the love of carbs....
Stone the flamin' crows (said like Alf Stewart)
I'm fed up to my back teeth with .....
Waste not, want not (thanks grandma!)
if they had a brain they'd be dangerous/ they don't have the brains to make their head ache.

DD: Hungry
Me: Do you want a banana?
DD: No
Me: Well you musn't be hungry then.

My Mum did this to me all the time and I can't believe I'm doing it to.

DH & I use far too many Simpsons quotes. My favourite is "I wore an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time" (for when someone is rambling and taking forever to get to the point).
