Sayings That You Or Your Friends Have.. That Are.. Unique..

[Mitchell]

Do forum members or your friends have saying that are rather.. unique?

I'll start. This first one was started by my friend Adam when we were teenagers. We used to love Microleague baseball. (The 80s computer game) Real baseball, relief pitchers, etc.

However, if we found something that was..just not interesting.. Adam came up with a saying of "Big, Boring, .. whatever it might be".

For example, using the 80s saying.. if I was eagerly awaiting to watch my favorite newsman, Jim Gardner, at 6 or 11 at night, and he was on vacation.. or sick.. etc, and the weekend guy, Rob Jennings, was on, substituting for Gardner, If I was using the 80s saying, I would call Adam and say something like "No Gardner that I love tonight, its just Big, Boring, Rob Jennings" No offense meant to Mr Jennings. I have watched him, and he is a very good newsman, having been with WPVI for 30 plus years. However, that saying that Adam came up with, just registered the disappointment that Gardner wouldnt be there.

So, thats it.. Any unique sayings by you or friends, etc, and what are they?

A better example of this, using the saying..

Tonight on the 6pm news,. Gardner and the anchors were discussing the upcoming Philadelphia Flower Show, which, while I'm sure is pretty, I find truly boring. It was right after I put up this thread, so naturally in my head as I was watching this, I probably said to myself: "I wish they would stop going on about the Big, Boring Philadelphia Flower Show already."

Funny how after I put up this thread, they discussed something I truly find boring, on my favorite show.

My friends/brother and I had (as kids) a sarcastic saying along the lines of you and Adam's:

Parents: "hey guys, get changed. We're all going over to the Johnson's for your sister's piano recital. There's gonna be punch and cookies afterwards!"

*eye roll* then a deadpan: "THRILLS"

I wanted my children to learn negotiating skills when they were younger so when they'd ask me a question or if they wanted something that they knew wasn't going to happen (any time soon anyway) my response would be:

"Maybe......then again.......maybe not!"

Drives them crazy to this day!

Hey, you can't roll over and give your kids everything they want at least without some negotiation.......🙄

cold, I actually like that saying. (wow, we actually agree on something, get that).

I had another friend in college, Scott, who happened to hate the gf of a mutual friend we both had. Every time the gf hung out with us, Scott, would always say "Lovely".

kis. I like your saying too.

One of my dad's favorites, and no I am NOT ripping him, just saying. This one used to drive my mom berserk.

"There's one person's side, the other person's side, and the truth is somewhere inbetween."

He loves to say this, about his situation with me, my situation with his brother etc.

One incredibly (In retrospect) stupid saying that Adam and I used to have when we were teeangers. (Ugh, intelligent that we were)

Adam and I were both obsessed with baseball. As baseball fans know, when a batter strikes out, it can be called "whiffing" by announcers, fans, players, coaches,. etc.

Well, for some insane reason, Adam and I came up with an idea that whenever a famous person died, they "whiffed". Sometimes, we would foolishly muse about when, perhaps, a famous person would die. One of our favorite celebs to discuss this about was, for whatever reason, Conrad Bain. ( As we know, Mr Bain passed away recently, and by that time, I certainly didnt say that he "whiffed".

Weird sayings that kids have sometimes.

I think its called an "inside joke." Some work, and some are boring; it depends on the audience...

I work as a receiver in a grocery store, and whenever I let our Utz rep in the door, I'll say something like how ya doing or what's goin on and he always says, "Livin' the dream"...it was funny at first but he needs a new tag line.

I have a newer one: When this Chicita I've been dating asks me an off-the-wall question that I'll need to use a computer to find out the answer, instead of saying "IDK, Google it", I say in a robotic voice "You have the same internet I do".

It drives her crazy. Sometimes she playfully socks my shoulder ... and sometimes she rib tickles me! *Bonus!!!*
