Just guess. A free $0 bank transfer for the first person to get it. Here's a hint: It is spelled with words.

I don't know what's dumber, the fact you are threatening to post something I already posted on the internet long ago for all to see, or that you saved it, and are now trying to use it as leverage for some odd purpose.

Or, as everyone has already thought "yeah, masturbatory fodder."

Take out "pimpy" and "Whatever tickles your pickle" ... add "Oy Vey" and "Fine" and I have pretty much the same list. Oh ... and @sswhore ... but it was a long and roundabout way getting to that one and it doesn't really mean what it is.

Oddly, I seem to use "Capiche" a lot when typing on this forum but never really say that in real life.

I say cha-ching every time I solve a problem at work, but somehow I started using the phrase "which'n", as in "which one". I don't know where I got it from but it's a good word so I keep it.

My father is from Greece, and his English isn't all that good, but when he really likes something, he says it's "too much good." He's used that one so much that all of us in the family use it now, so it's become the "family catchphrase"

He also has a habit of calling people on TV with catchphrases by their catchphrases:

Examples: Fred Ricart (car dealer in Columbus, Ohio) likes to say "We're dealin!" in his ads. My father calls him "Dealing." William Shatner is "Beam me up." (and so on). Bart Simpson is "Eat Shorts"

It even extends to TV shows. He calls all the "Home Improvement" type of shows (like Trading Spaces, Monster House, etc) "Oh my God shows." (because everyone always says "Oh my God" when they see the results). South Park is "You bastards"

"that's what she said..."

depends on the comment preceeding it, but it can be funny and totally useless. Ah words...

Apparently my catch phrase is "Just think about it." cause my family always points it out and teases me for it. It's cause I'm always logically thinking about things. Like, my sister or dad will say "I wonder how they do that," or "I wonder what's that for," and I'll go on to explain what I think it probably does or is and finish it up with "just think about it."

I try not to do it anymore.

That last post from Kilbey reminded me of my dad who has a bunch of these little phrases. Here's his favorite one.

"That dog'll hunt."

We were at a bait shop once, and he was talking to the person running the place, and asked him a question. The guy answered him, and my dad thought that idea would work so he replied "That dog'll hunt" and the guy said "Oh yeah, she's a good hunter alright" in reference to the black lab sleeping on the floor. So now, most of the time when I hear my dad say that, I reply with that same line, "Oh yeah, she's a good hunter alright".

Oh, and Kilbey, my dad uses "Good enough for the girls we go with" so that's why yours reminded me.

Fansite does not equal a disheartening review. Unless you're into that S&M crap. And if that's the case, you are one creepy SOB.
