Old but good expressions
« Reply #45 on: April 04, 2004, 11:44:43 pm »
I used to like "I wet 'em!", to be directed in a derisive, vaguely ventriloquic fashion at a particularly wussy television character.

On the subject of Lord's name in vain: I used "Jesus Haploid Christ!" a lot in middle school, when my smartass circuitry was about at high. I should start doing that again.

Also from eighth grade: "Oh boy! Sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!"

Good quote, but not in keeping with the topic. Most likely everyone on this board has a passel of favorite Simpsons quotes.

Well, yes, fair enough. I was only noting that this particular phrase is more important to me in the context of nostalgia than as a phrase in and of itself, albeit it is a good phrase; nonetheless, its primary value in my life at the moment is that it was roaringly popular when I was 14 and is thus amusingly antiquated now.

Back on topic: "peckish."

Oh, I say 'peckish' so much that I didn't even think of it in this context.

I sometimes say "Shit the Bed!" to express dismay. I also use peckish.

I only thought of it because I continue to befuddle my mother by using it. I think she expects me to announce my conquest of India, or something.

Speaking of which, my best friend that is a girl, who is Indian, thinks we should make a porn where I'm wearing a pith helmet, khakis, a handlebar moustache and a monocle, and she's wearing a sari, and I'm bringing the raj into the deepest, darkest parts of India.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

I now restore the thread by revealing that I often say, Jeez o pete.

Disneyfy here just means something that is unnecessarily toned down*. I've had people question why I added such a vulgarity to a normal expression.

Do you blame the Commodores for that?

That pickle is in a kettle of giraffe, inside a barrel of monkeys.
