The whole thing is full of “says I” or third person, “Says Jim,” and people often spaketh he, instead of just speaking. Jim’s also quite fond of the phrase “on the morrow”..."
Stuart Millard, "Summer of Savile"

Even less explicable was the fact that when he returned, he made no mention of Halloween Havoc, no mention of why he had walked out of the match with Sting, and no mention of where he'd been, though he did manage, in the span of two minutes, to say the word "brother" five times, "dude" four times, and "Jack" twice.
R. D. Reynolds and Bryan Alvarez, The Death of WCW

Prinny Rule No. 1! You shall always include the word "dood" in every line you say!

Do you think a Prinny who doesn't even know the first rule, including the word "dood" in every line you say, can take us on, dood? Two seconds... that's all the time I need to defeat you! Everybody, charge! Doooooooood!
One of Seraphina's Prinnies, Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance, before they get rekt by a lone Toto Bunny Prinny

"Y'know, a lot of people come up to me asking why I always say, dood. Well, it's not because we like it, dood! This is something we Prinnies just gotta do! It's practically a law, dood!"
