Catchphrases you've accidentally developed

"Alrighty."

I keep on using it as my alternative for "okay" and "affirmative".

From work

"I don't have the authority to authorize that."

And when inevitably asked to speak to a person who does

"I do not have the contact information for any of my superiors, and you will have to return when they're here."

"This is seriously the worst, ever!"

"Woof." Over the course of two days, I've added an excited "whoof" and a dismayed "wooff" to my vocabulary. I can't post recordings of what they sound like, but if I could, it'd make more sense- I'm not sayin' the word "woof" or actually barking.

"Best thing ever" or alternatively "Worst thing ever", said bluntly.

"I'm a raccoon man with a raccoon plan!"

Someone in my graphic design class once dropped this delightful Non Sequitur and now I can't stop saying it. Reminds me of Rocket Raccoon for some reason.

"Jesus Kung Fu!"

I don’t know, it was just that funny.

"Ipecac!"
When something bad happens

One time, my dad and I were seeing a movie in theaters. Shortly before a movie starts at the theaters we usually go to, there's a "No Talking or Phones" Warning that says something like "Don't talk, don't text, don't post, don't ruin the movie", and my dad added "...or Thanos will snap his fingers and turn you into dust!", and I now find myself saying it almost every time I hear that reminder, regardless of what movie we're even seeing.

Funny thing is, I don't even think we were seeing a Marvel Cinematic Universe film at the time he originally said it. Then again, this was pretty close to around the time Avengers: Endgame first came out, if I remember correctly.

“Don’t panic it’s only [X]” “I have a bad feeling about this”

"Next question." for when I answer questions with a short and simple answer.

I tend to say, "Look, I'm sorry, but..." right before pointing out a Double Entendre or Accidental Innuendo.

"Fudgesicles!"

I've taken to saying, "(insert thing here) aged like fine milk"^note Or alternatively, "(insert thing) didn't age well" and "Priorities!"

When people word something rudely (or say something that I think is Too Much Information), I sometimes say something along the lines of, “I could’ve gone without that last part.”

Since I hate pickles pickle is a funny word. I developed a few pickle-related catchphrases

• "I'm not a total picklehead." Ie I'm not a complete idiot.
• "Pickles to that!" (Which equates to my own way of saying that hard pass)
• "With pickle to my head." Yes, eating a pickle is a fate worse than death

"hot dog[!]"

“I like to be where the action is. “

I say this when the movie theater worker says that the seat I’ve chosen is in the front row.

"They're a little confused, but they've got the spirit." Basically, what I say when someone doesn't quite understand what they're talking about (or in some cases may be somewhat Innocently Insensitive), but they have good intentions and I can at least see what they're getting at.

“Try explaining that to your insurance agent. ”

I can’t help but say that whenever something happens to cars in a science fiction story, like if they get wrecked by a Humongous Mecha or a supervillain or something like that. ^_^;;

My dad and I have picked up the phrase "Thanks everybody, that is so motivational!" from the ending theme of Milo Murphy's Law. Bonus points for saying it in the same tone of voice as Milo.

"Okie-dokie, lemon chokie!"

I dunno, one day I decided to combine "okie-dokie, artichokie!" and "easy peasy lemon squeezy" and now I can't stop saying it.

"No probbles." Now I reflexively say it and reflexively explain it so I have the catchphrase "No probbles. That's a cool way of saying 'no problem.'"

I like to say the thing the Once-ler said in the 2012 version of The Lorax. ^_^;;

“I got plans. Big plans!”

Whenever someone mentions Surrey, my usual response is, "How's the McDonald's?" in reference to a dream I had a few years ago.
