* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' fills you with DETERMINATION.[[labelnote: *]]The alternate spelling "Determination" may also count here as well.[[/labelnote]]

** "Rejoice" started with ''VideoGame/FateStayNight'' and is every bit as associated with that. (Of course, it's the same character saying it in both cases.)

* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' encourages its fans to be "savvy", and to "parley". (Both with roots in French; ''savoir'' "to know", ''parler'' "to talk".)
** Though if you're editing this, your first thought may be "GenreSavvy".
** Any lummox knows that this was perfectly handsome 18th century slang!
* ''[[Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure]]'' was known for the words "bodacious", and "heinous".
** [[Film/BillAndTedsBogusJourney And the sequel]] gave is "Station!"
** Bonus points if you use ''"most"'' as a prefix to any of those.
* ''Film/HomewardBoundTheIncredibleJourney'': "Cats rule and dogs drool."

* Since Tom Hiddleston uttered the words "mewling quim" (basically, "whiny [[CountryMatters cunt]]") in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', fangirls have abused it incessantly.
** "Do you, ahh... ''[[UnusualEuphemism fondue]]''?" (from ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'').
* "Inconceivable!" for ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
* ''Film/EvilDead2'' and ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'' reanimated the word "Groovy!"
** ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'', too.
* Fans of ''Film/SkyHigh2005'' latched onto "alma mater" and bombarded their fanfictions with it.
* The word "very" to mean "cool" or "awesome" has gained a bit of popularity in the ''{{Film/Heathers}}'' fandom. The phrase "How very" in particular has caught on as a way to say, "How incredible" or something of that nature.

* There's a bit of a shibboleth effect going in ''SherlockHolmes'' fandom. Milder fans or subjects of PopculturalOsmosis will say "elementary", while the harder fans will say "singular".

* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' has helped permanently modify the meaning of "Spam."
* "Awesome" and "Legendary" for ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''.
* "Shiny" from Creator/JossWhedon's ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. Some fans use it extensively, to the point that their friends say it regularly as well. Also, "ruttin'" and "gorram."
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' fans associate "Shiny" with the character Gau.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** The Vulcans want things to be "logical" (Captain), or else "Fascinating." Continued as a [[JustForPun generational]] thing by ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration The Next Generation]]'''s Data.
** The Borg have assimilated the word "assimilate."

** Fans of the older actors, particularly Creator/TomBaker, will be particularly fond of the word "indomitable."

* ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' claimed the word "morph", except in the minds of British audiences old enough to think of it as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morph_%28character%29 Plasticine stop-motion character]].
** For ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'', it's "buttery" with a [[MemeticHandGesture finger wiggle]]. (Bridge likes his toast.)
* ''Film/WaynesWorld'' averted this trope. {{NOT}} "Schwing!"
* Similarly, ''Series/RedDwarf'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A0RFDm8_rE "smeg" and "smeghead."]]
* For a time, this applied to the "Danger Island" segments in ''WesternAnimation/TheBananaSplits Adventure Hour'' with "Uh, oh! Chongo!"
* ''Series/GavinAndStacey'': "Tidy", "Lush" "[What's] occurring?".

* There are "particulates" all over the place in ''Series/{{Bones}}'', especially when Hodgins is involved. Semi-justified, since Hodgins ''is'' [[TheWormGuy the particulate expert]] (and the other members of the team probably picked the word up from him, or possibly just talk about particulates more on account of having a particulate expert on the team), but it's kinda weird when one-off local law enforcement characters who have never met him talk about finding them.
* ''Series/OrphanBlack'' has Helena's distinctive pronunciation of sister, "sestra."

[[folder:NewspaperComics]]
* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' has the expression ''good grief'' and the scream sound AAUGH!.

*** This especially picked up after the final boss in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' offers nanomachines [[MemeticMutation(son)]] as an explanation for why he can summon magma by punching the ground and smack around an otherwise NighInvulnerable cyborg with his bare hands, in a manner that seems to be parodying Metal Gear Solid 4.

** The series' [[SignatureStyle signature]] ParrotExposition is mocked pretty much endlessly by everyone who has played the games. ("Mocked?")

* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' has "Behold!", thanks to the Dr. Weird {{Cold Open}}s in the early seasons (while also sharing "gentlemen" with ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''.)

* ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' claimed the word "morph", except in the minds of British audiences old enough to think of it as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morph_%28character%29 Plasticine stop-motion character]]. The first year also introduced the word "[[TotallyRadical morphenomenal]]"; that one faded out pretty quickly, though the phrase gets a [[ContinuityNod nod]] every now and then, usually during episodes celebrating series milestones. [[note]][[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Cole]] uses it during "Forever Red" when [[HeroWorshipper awestruck]] by the reality of battling alongside none other than Jason himself. Adam, who was introduced ''after'' "Morphenomenal!" fell out of use, [[PostMortemOneLiner gets a crack at it]] when he nearly disposes of Thrax, coincidentally the son of Rita and Zedd, in [[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive "Once a Ranger."]] Then, [[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge Tyler]] [[Recap/PowerRangersDinoChargeForgedUnderFire at one point]] describes his [[SuperMode T-Rex Super Charge]] as such.[[/note]]

** [[spoiler: There’s also the terms ‘entropy,’ ‘heat death,’ and just about anything having to do with thermodynamics, due to the scene where Kyubey uses these terms to explain it’s plan to save the universe.]]

* "Franchise/{{Metal Gear}}[[GutturalGrowler rrrrr]]?!! It can't be...!"

* "Skadoosh!" for the ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' movies, althought it's only said ''once'' in either movie (albeit coinciding with a CrowningMomentOfAwesome). Its popularity comes mostly from its use in marketing and merchandise.

* ''[[Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure]]'' was known for the words "bodacious", "heinous" and "excellent".

* You can't play any ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' game for five minutes without coming across the words "light", "darkness", or "heart".
