Have you ever used or had a friend use the phrase, "You can say that again." When I think about it, I am pretty sure that I've only heard it on TV.
I've heard it said before, not much though. How about this one, not really a phrase, just something I hear often" "Hey Partner, how's a going?"
Speaking of Cowboy jargon, how bout this one: "Giddyup" As in actually trying to get a horse to move, not the Kramer version. Do "real" cowboys actually say that, or just dorks like Billy Crystal visiting a Dude Ranch. How bout cops n robbers jargon? "Stick 'em up." or the accompanying "This is a stick up." What dork would really say that, other than the dork girlfriend in the restaurant robbery in Pulp Fiction??
actually, i have a couple of friends that do use the phrase "giddyup" in reference to the way a person walks. for example, if a person has a pronounced gait, we might say they have "a little hitch in their giddyup!" oh...and how about an old phrase i've never heard used in real life: gimme five on the backhand side!
"Reverse the polarity . . . " - just about all Sci Fi "If only they used their talents for good. . . instead of evil" -I actually use this one when ever i can "I don't care about the money . . .. " Rocket River
I've noticed that a popular sayin these days seems to be... "I hear ya" when I hear that said, I wonder if maybe thats the equivalant to sayin "yes dear" when the wife/g-f is babbling about something while you're watching the Rox games and you aren't really listening...
- Arrrr matey - Avast ye - Shiver me timbers - Ahoy - You're on a one way trip to Davy Jones' locker, arrr... People don't talk like pirates enough.
here's one i only hear on tv (esp. BH90210, i don't know why, but they used this line in almost every episode, i think it was a prereq for script writing or something), never in real life... Person A says something to the jist of "I'm not hungry" Person B retorts with <b>"Ya gotta eat." </b> oh yeah, says who? skipping one meal ain't gonna kill ya, geez!
"Use the Force" Wait, geeks say that all the time...wait....I'm a geek.... Maybe, "Use the Shwartz" "Get down, its gonna blow!" Of course, the immortal words: "Suck me, beautiful" How about..."get out of the rain or you'll catch a cold"...or something else like that. People say that all the time in movies, usually it has a guy standing in the rain or something in front of the girl's house...or stopping by the elderly farm couples house while its raining and he's on a dangerous quest... I don't know of anybody that's caught a bad cold from getting a little wet in the rain...unless its like 45 degrees outside...but even then its not likely...
