Now I'm confused. You think "peachy" and other insults are lazy writing on Supernatural right?

When you have one character using the phrase, it isn't lazy writing, it's a catch phrase such as on LOST, Sawyer was known for "SON OF A BITCH!" but when you have every character on the show saying it, especially a fairly unusual word like "peachy" then, yes, it's lazy writing because it doesn't give the character a strong voice. That is to say, if you cover up the names in the script, you should be able to tell who said what on the type of dialog they use. (Cas is pretty good at this since the writers usually have him using ten dollar words and an archaic way of speaking.) But if everyone is using the same vocab in the same manner then the voices become muddled; hence my accusation of lazy writing. (Sam, Dean, Bobby, Meg 1 and 3 and Ruby 2 have used the word, "peachy" from what I remember off the top of my head.)

But Sam, Dean, and Bobby saying it would make sense, realistically. They're around each other pretty incessantly, and it's a retro '60s word that their Dad might have used and Bobby is that old, so that makes sense.

I get what you're saying about the demons somewhat in reference to peachy specifically. But it had a resurgence in the mid-2000s, and demons are pop-culture hipsters. I guess I don't think the word's that unique anymore.

I also don't think it's completely lazy writing. Hunters and the supernaturals are vaguely off the grid and have time to watch oodles of tv, so a similarity in language for what is technically a sub-culture isn't unreasonable. I actually think it helps separate and alienate the world Sam and Dean inhabit from the ones the victims inhabit, but I may be thinking too hard.

In my opinion there is a dearth of curse words because there aren't that many you can say on tv, so the same ones get recycled.

CHUCKLEHEAD.
Everyone and their mom's demon says it.
It can just barely be called a stylistic choice (much like how everyone sounds alike in Gilmore Girls), but it sure as hell ain't a reasonable/realistic coincidence.

Peachy I can recall well enough that I've heard it often and by many different characters. Chucklehead I cannot, so I guess we have differing definitions of recurrent words. But if all the demons specifically say it (I do know Bobby says it once, but again, he lives in South Dakota) then it's still relegated to a group. But frankly I can remember it maybe 5 times total off the top of my head so it doesn't seem frequent to me.

Gilmore Girls peeps all sound the same because they're talking at the same racecar speed. Everything begins to sound the same at that speed. The phrasing patterns are the same. The phrases aren't.

Definitely a different words thing, peachy hardly registers with me it's a pretty common expression. Chucklehead on the other hand is more obscure and more questionable when used by demons, angels, hunters, Chuck, Becky, etc. Though considering it's all written by the same author... Which may or may not be God...

The speed at which all Gilmore Girl peeps talk is not natural and it's not arguably coincidental, which is why I made the comparison that it's a stylistic choice.

In Supernatural it's a stylistic choice for everyone to have the same vocabulary, for Gilmore Girls it's speech patterns.

Okay, I see what you mean by Gilmore Girls. The pace is definitely a stylistic choice.

I guess it just makes sense to me that everyone have the same arguable middle-aged vocabulary choices, since being a hunter sounds like something middle-aged people do.

Dean, Bobby, Crowley and Gabriel have used the word, I believe.

Was it all in one season like season 5 (for Gabriel and Crowley, it must have been), because I could understand it seeming uncomprehendingly frequent then, but again, that's like 5 times in 120 episodes. I don't personally think it's that frequent. I simply haven't noticed it.
