So after getting into a conversation yesterday that quickly degenerated into a stream of Waynes World quotes I started thinking about this. It's amazing how many words or phrases you pick up from films and TV that become part of your everyday patter, sometimes unconciously.

What stuff have you picked up that you find yourself using again and again?

For me:

'good call' from Wayne's World
'it's all a rich tapestry' from an episode of the Simpsons (surprising how often I can fit this in!)

probably there's more, I'll have a think.

ew from will and grace. i started using it when grace said EW all the time. EWWWW
ewww

i know, it's really sad.

everyone says eww huh

Mr. Wildwoman, our closest friends and myself can pretty much have entire conversations consisting of nothing but Simpsons references.

I now say 'doh!' if I get startled. Which is good, because I used to say 'Ow!' and then I always had to explain that I wasn't hurt.

this probably isn't related cause it's an album, but I just wrote a post there after reading this and realised I'm always something is the king of something, like raspberry, king of jams, because of a mountain goats album called yams, king of crops.

aaaanyway. I speech is probably so made up of simpsons jokes I don't say anything original.
