%% One quote is sufficient. Please place additional entries on the quotes tab.
An expression used by a character numerous times in a work. Merely uttering this phrase in the office will clue others in to the character you're referring to.
To be a Catchphrase, the phrase must be ''repeated multiple times'' in an identifiable way — what is simply the most memorable line of a movie is not a Catchphrase unless it is repeated by the same in-universe character. When it's the ''audience'' that adopts a character's line as a Catchphrase, it's a MemeticMutation.
If the character has a BadassCreed, it will probably double as a Catchphrase. BeamMeUpScotty is a false or oft-misquoted Catchphrase. Compare ArcWords, OneLiner, OtherStockPhrases, WordPower. Contrast with AuthorCatchphrase, which is when a phrase is recycled across unrelated works by the same author/actor/creator.
Not to be confused with the gameshow ''{{Series/Catchphrase}}''.[[note]]Even though actually the show is really about ''idioms'' rather than catchphrases.[[/note]]
