A take off of Burgo's "overused words and phrases" thread. Are there words and phrases only you think you use or maybe outdate ones you still use that you think are "cool" (but probably aren't :bouncegiggle:) Mine lately;
"Aw c'mon will ya look at that" Kind of a nice way to saw "wtf" I find.
"Groovy" Hardly anyone uses this one anymore to describe things. I usually use it several times a day.
"Sir" In a nonmilitary sense like "how are you sir" or "good day sir". I find it immensely respectful to call another man "sir".
"Oh Crap" is a much better use of "Oh F**k"
"Holy Mackerel" kind of a blast from the past. My dad always used it.
A friend at work expresses surprise/disbelief with the phrase "What the hamburgers?!?".
I like it. :thumbup:
I use "whats happening" more than "whats up".
A sadly underused phrase: "Shall I take my clothes off now, Rev. Powell?"
Please and thank you.

No matter who says it? What if I said it?

At this point I'll take what I can get!
When I'm watching sports on TV, and you can see somebody yell a word that clearly begins with the letter "F", I always tell the kids he said "fiddlesticks".
I say "Oh My Days" instead of oh my god

Stopped dead in my tracks. Well played, sir. Well played.
'poppycock' and 'boulderdash', as expressions of incredulity. I don't actually say these out loud so much as just think them in my mind, for some reason.
Rev Powell just reminded me to be "gay" in another thread. The other day I was really feeling gay.
Defenestrate. My personal favorite.
when ever I'm wearing my Godzilla Shirt- "What's up Chriszilla?" My best friend made this up. :teddyr:

Horseplay -
This is a very whimsical word. How in the hell did that term get started? I always laughed growing up when someone would actually tell us kids to stop our horseplay.
Bonus points to the U.S. Navy for this phrase:
"Horseplay leads to sickbay."

Ever seen horses play, Flick? It can make Australian Rules Football look like a sewing circle. It looks like they have a lot of fun, but they play
rough!

Oh, I know, Newt, but the term still just sounds funny to me.

over here we have Jools Holland annual 'Hootenanny' on tv, new years eve celebration tv program. think he's been doing it for about 15 yrs now. 'malarkey' is a good one, only people from up north uk say it (up north meaning Manchester/Lancashire way). "all that type of malarkey" lol
