I'm a writer (well, sort of anyway) and as such I make a point of making a note of any interesting turns of phrase I come across, in case they come in handy. However, so far they haven't so I thought I may as well start this thread so that they don't completly go to waste.

quote:
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know, but it's not lupus" ~ Over heard at my anime club and uttered by a guy who'd obviously watched a lot of House


quote:
"Touch the hair and I'll murder you with my bare fingernails"


quote:
"To the Boozatorium!"~ someone at anime club. He said the same thing practically every week.


There's more, but they're in my notebook.

You are a Player. There are no small parts, only small people, and we suspect that's due to malnutrition endemic to the period. Every night you're a different person, knave or king, man or woman, 875 roles in all. The ones the audience liked got you applause, and the ones they didn't got you pelted rotten vegetables. The theater is a harsh mistress, but you love her dearly. Plus, it beats working for a living!

A girl once managed to render me speechless with:

Why is it always the man "penetrating" the woman? Why isn't it the woman "enveloping" the man?


I mean, she had a point, but still...

I'd call this a necro bump, if that didn't sound like a very disturbing dance move.
Anyways, this was said to me today:
'Ah nevermind, you don't want to be stuck with one girl anyway. You should be on the lookout for some fresh talent!' My grandmother, rendering me speechless.

There were so many good quotes from the Chicago Meat, but no one wrote anything down and I have a goldfish brain, so it's all trickled away.

My friend Sophie last night, when she was properly drunk for the first time in her young life:

"Don't worry, I only hug the legs of people I really like!"

I once argued with an American friend about the Canadian national anthem...

AF:The Canadian anthem doesn't mention God, does it?
Me: Yeah, it totally does! "We stand on God for thee" !
AF: Isn't it "we stand on guard for thee" ?
Me: Whoops... "God keep our land."

And my aunt's eternal query
quote:
Did you meet anybody you liked better than yourself?


------------------------------
You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are. Whiskey-soaked reports from your baffling Isle of Ire raise more questions than they answer. Are you a dwarf? Where's your pickax? If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend!

"Yeah? Well, my knee says you need a dental plan!"

... there was a point to that. I'd doodled an eye on the knee of my jeans in biro, and my friend decided to bite my knee. xD

I work for a mail order catalog. My job is to answer the phones and help people place their orders. These are some of the things I've experienced.

"I want to order that fucking... what the hell was it called? The fucking thing for the light. Ah shit. Uh. Do you know what I'm talking about?"

"Your name is Robert? How do you spell that?"

(my brother once got)

"Your name is Steven? How do you spell that?" He then spelled it out. Thinking they meant "with a v or with a ph" and then the customer says, "S T E V E N. Oh. Like the boys name."

I've also had:

"Someone just hung up on me. I didn't catch his name but I know it was a black man."(we don't have any black male order reps at this time.)

"How do you turn that broom on?"

"These cotton panties. Are they cotton cotton or silky cotton. Cuz if they're cotton, I don't want them."
