Thread for explanations of catchphrases you personally overuse:
temple-of-doom aka "ToD": The action of reaching into someone's chest and pulling out their beating heart. Best accompanied by a CounterStrike-style motion of the hand, sans knife, and a manic look in your wide-open eyes.
(More to be edited in the next time a friend tells me to stop repeating something.)

"That's a beating!"
"Off the meat hook"- Not to be confused with "off the meat rack", which only egomanical retards use, it comes from the image of a side of beef. And a meat hook. Go figure.
"Throw it down, big man, throw it down" Big Bill Walton, who has to be one of the most annoying announcers ever (perhaps second only to Dicky Vitale, though he's funny simply because he's so annoying), has his saying. I happen to do a rather good impression of it, and it's fun to do, so, meh.
"Paging Dr. Tings, Dr. B Tings- You have a phone call line _____". It's rather self-explanitory when heard in the context of a game.

I use the words "evidently" and "actually" quite a bit, when contextually appropriate.
I don't know if I have any catchphrases per se, but I definitely have certain patterns of speech I fall into. I know I use hand gestures with regularity.

'Sarcasm is the recourse of the weak mind'.
It's doubly annoying to have an English catchphrase if you live in a Dutch-speaking country.

To make matters worse, ever since I started fencing seriously I absentmindedly will go through parry-riposte or disengage-thrust sequences without realizing it. It trains muscle memory, but it looks like I'm conducting an invisible orchestra. P.S. Hehe, I'm infamous.  |

It trains muscle memory, but it looks like I'm conducting an invisible orchestra. I was once told that if my hands got cut off I'd be a mute. &I talk with my hands when on the phone. I've also been told in various counseling sessions by my superiors that immediately jumping to the solution of 'killing them' doesn't solve a lot of problems. 'In accordance with the prophecy!', is also another phrase that I've been told I needed to cool down with, because it was no longer 'funny'; to which I replied, 'Who said anything about being funny?', and looked back as seriously as someone in camo possibly can. Also, 'killing the forward observer with a bayonet and executing the members of a squad in thier sleep one by one' isn't a good idea during a training exercise, or so I'm told. |

I'll, like, say like, like, all the time if I'm not paying attention. Growing up in California may have had something to do with it.

Here's a good one to add to the end of any factual statement that I've used from time to time: "...or so the Germans would have you believe."
For example: "I really want to order a pizza... or so the Germans would have you believe."
Oh, and going back to what Zherbus said, I use "Actually" often to mean "Now I am going to correct your misguided conclusion."

Me and a couple of friends had this weird catchphrase a while back where we would compare everything to a glass of water.
As in:
"Pepsi cola tastes pretty good....if you compare it to a glass of water."
It evolved from there to completely unrelated situations like:
"This movie's kinda cool..."
"If you compare it to a glass of water."
or:
"That chick gives pretty good head....if you compare it to a glass of water."
Hmm. Rereading that, the phrase "you had to be there" springs to mind. I use that all the time, too.
