You know those shared phrases that become part of you and/or your family's personal vocabulary? A lot of them, at least in my family, end up being quotes from things we've watched or read together: so my question is, what are some quotes that you find yourself using ALL the time?

For my family: in the SG1 episode '2010' they're going on a tour of the defunct Stargate facility, and the tour guide has a really distinctive and perky way of saying "Aaaand we're walking!" when it's time to move on. We use that all the time.

Also, any time we have to refer to trash bags;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8th2J3c88mU

"Honey, can you put a new bag in the garbage can?"
"Trash bag?? NEEEEEWWWWWW trash bag!!"

I don't even have to YouTube - I saw "refer to trash bags" and I know what you're screaming, and how you're screaming it! Awww, Murdock.

If someone says, "Well," and draws the word out, and doesn't exactly continue the thought, my brother says, "Deep subject for a shallow mind."

Also, if anyone in my hearing says, "Great minds think alike!" I reply, "Soft minds run together!"

My brother was in a show called "Play On" about a show-within-a-show. My brother was "drunk" in the second act, so family and I say, "Yes inDEEDY!" a lot now.

My parents have turned into real Janeites in their old age, so phrases like "He simpers and smirks and makes love to us all," "My faults, by this calculation, are heavy indeed," and "I am in no mood to give consequence to [fill in the blank] who [fill in the blank]" are common. And at least once a week, my dad will lean over my mom and say, "In vain I have struggled: it will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

Oh, and I forgot some of our other favorites:

"You have no compassion for my poor nerves."
"But all this is very vexing. I am quite put out!"
and of course
"I am excessively diverted."

That's adorable.

We have so many in jokes in my house but the most common is from Seinfeld's "no soup for you, one year!" so we'll say "no blahblah for you, one year!"

Ilu for trash bags. :3

I don't know where they come from but my family's most notorious quotes are 'a wizard did it' and 'TO THE LIBRARY!'.

those are both from the Simpsons, back when they used to be funny.

One of my cousins called whipped cream (the cheap kind you squirt out of a can) "splat" once, and it's stuck.

When we're ready to go somewhere, we used to say "vamanos!" and somebody at one point bastardized it into "vomit nose!" so now we say that sometimes.

Wow, that looks even weirder typed out than it actually is...

There are a lot of other things we have in-jokes for, many of which involve completely made-up words or our last name, so I won't write them here...we're just kind of goofy.

Oh, and we make puns a lot. Especially when we're visiting with my granddad.

Based on a long and "you had to be there" story, whenever I laugh at something absurd (which is often), one of my friends will crack me up further with, "It's like this, Officer: Did you ever watch Darkwing Duck as a kid?"

Most of mine are bastardized MST3k quotes shared between my fiancé and I. I think the one that's been bastardized the most and will make absolutely no sense to anyone but my fiancé is the substitution of the phrase "You need moisturizer," for "You're sick" (sick as in depraved).

Also, I quote Home Alone a lot. ("Look what you did, you little jerk" and "You're what the French cal 'les incompetant.'")

Also, we have "Don't Bronson me, dude," for the times when I want confirmation on the attractiveness of a person and my fiancé is reluctant to offer his opinion. (This stems from the time I was hit for Bronson Pichot and my fiancé made fun if me for days before finally admitting that he found him attractive too.)

And, "I think this [actor] is just Judd Nelson'd," meaning a second or third billed actor is only in a movie for a few minutes. This comes from the time we watched this movie where Judd Nelson was listed like second in the credits but was in the movie only about five minutes at the end.

Based on my father-in-law ringing our doorbell at an ::ahem:: inappropriate time, my husband and I now refer to coitus interruptus as "ding dong dammit."

Oh man, I have a lot to choose from... I'll just do some of the best ones.

With friends: probably the longest running/most often used is "bandage a toe" for going to take a piss. This comes from an incident when my friend group was about 15-17 and a few of us were hanging out prior to playing AD&D. Someone had just made a plate of fries, and as they were coming out of the oven he cut open his toe on a piece of glass or something. Rather than miss out on the food, he stayed and ate while bleeding until the fries were gone, at which point he got up and said "Gotta go bandage a toe." We used it to excuse ourselves from the room forever afterward.

With family: "crafty as a haystack". This one comes from my younger brother, who was a very emotional five year old. After we had watched Chicken Little earlier that day (which includes a scene were a fox hides in a haystack to try to eat Chicken Little) we were playing a board game and he was losing. He subsequently became so frustrated that he got red in the face, jumped up, tried to flip the board and yelled, "You're as crafty as a haystack!" at my mother and I. He got even more angry when we couldn't stop laughing at him. We still use it to rib him to this day, 25 years later.

I know we have several of these, but I'm blanking on all of them except that ever since Downton Abbey started airing, whenever me or my sister or my dad complain that something bad happened to us, my mom unsympathetically says "not as bad as Bates!" and tells us to stop whining.

That's not faiiiiiiir. It's like saying that at least a guy who died didn't die as much as Daniel Jackson.

My family always calls windmills "turna-turnas," it was my dad's childhood word for them. We don't have anything fandom-specific, but my mother and I often shout "You can't save the world in high heels!!" at the TV whenever we're watching something actiony and a lady character is in heels. Wear something sensible, dangit! What if you have to run someplace (and they always do)? XD

No one in my family can mention asparagus with a straight face anymore after this one car trip. I'm not sure how it got started, but for some reason we all started making up HORRIBLE jokes about asparagus.

"What do you call asparagus served by itself, no seasoning? Bare-agus!
"What do you get if you have two stalks of asparagus? A pair o' gus!"
"What do you call asparagus with clinical depression? Despairagus!"
"*dying laughing* Stop, stop! I can't take any more!"
"So... you can't bear-agus these jokes?"
"Are we there-agus yet?"

This lasted for like an hour. An hour that will live in infamy.

And then there was the time we were playing some game where you had to describe a phrase or thing without using certain words, and get your team to say them. I got on the right track initially that my dad was referring to a vehicle, but something specific he said made me go "A jeep!" So he was like "Yeah! Like a jeep, but longer!"

And being completely lost for ideas and blanked and the time almost being up, I went "...A jeeeeeeeeeeep?"

The game stopped for awhile while everyone stopped laughing. To this day, saying "Jeeeeeeeeeep" around anyone who was present causes them to crack up.
