So... What sort of catch phrases and slang words do you find peppering your everyday conversation? Here are most of mine.
"Good heavens!" -- said in a old-ladyish manner such that you can imagine a withered old matron with her hand to her deflated bosom after having seen something shocking on television.
"Oh dear!" -- see above
"My word..." -- see above
"How delightful!" -- also said in an old-ladyish manner, but used to denote sarcastic pleasure in something going fuck-all wrong.
"How extraordinary!" -- said in a faux British accent, used in much the same manner as "How delightful!"
"Meow!" -- usually said at the end of a yawn. When meowing, I usually attempt to emulate Gir from Invader Zim.
"Delicious!" -- gleaned from a Castlevania game where this was what the succubus said every time she latched on to your neck. Used to denote pleasure, sarcastic pleasure, and in many other ways.
"Dude, srsly!" -- pronounced "dude, surslee!" -- usually used when witnessing someone committing a traffic stupidity, such as the two cars that plowed through the crosswalk this morning while my boyfriend and I were out for a stroll.
"Teh ebuls" -- pronounced "teh e-bulls" -- used when sarcastically denoting displeasure, as in "We can't go to that restaurant because their sushi is teh ebuls. I puked for a week after that last time."
"What a strange bit of buggery!" -- used when witnessing an unusual occurrence.
"Hmm... queer." -- also used when witnessing an unusual occurrence.
"Because you fail at life." -- used when sarcastically slamming someone for a minor slight or mistake.
"I thought I smelled failure..." -- also used when sarcastically slamming someone for a minor slight or mistake.
"...of doom." -- used on just about everything because everything is better with doom, as in "Kittens... of doom;" "Fried, breaded shrimp... of doom;" and "First Congregational United Church of Christ... of doom."
"Everything is ruined forever!" -- used when witnessing something of minor or comical unpleasantness.
"Oh, God, I have to go wash now!" -- also use when witnessing something of minor or comical unpleasantness, especially if it happens to be of any perverseness.
"w00t/woot" -- used to express minor approval or pleasure.
"Meh." -- Used to express indifference.
"Oh noes!" -- used to express feigned disapproval or horror.
"Grunties" -- underwear, as in "Ah... a basket full of nice, clean grunties straight from the dryer!"
"Beast/Beastlet" -- Cats/kittens
"Fanged Beast" -- Cats
"Dogma" -- Dogs
In addition, I'm also fond of interjecting random snippets of the song "The Bulbous Bouffant" by The Vestibules into everyday conversation.
