CATCHPHRASES

Ell

I have to say (because she's physically incapable of not saying something - En)

Actually (as previously said by En)

Do excuse me, but . . . (excuses, excuses - En)

Uurrh (an expression of bemusement & general surprise, not the mating call of a sex-starved gorilla)

Greetings (Hi or Hello will suffice - En)

Talks in ridiculously flowery language (Got a thesaurus, anyone? - En)

She believes that the world would be more agreeable place if everyone talked in the style of a Victorian novel (A Bronte novel for preference).

En: That way no-one could understand anything so an education would be pointless so we'd all be equally daft & could indulge in chocolate ice-cream & free love forevermore. Yay! I like that plan. (No, seriously - I just want to be a slut with a VERY SELECT few at the most & I don't mean with all of them at the same time.)

Ell: I am surrounded by philistines! For the record I do not believe in free love - read the book of common prayer and go all liturgical in the wonderful language! However I concur most heartily with the eating of much ice cream!)

There's no such thing as normal! (One of her two philosophies on life - the other being "Nothing makes any sense!" These two maxims serve me well - Ell)


En

Brilliant! (in an effort to stop saying "Classic" - I now sound like a character from "The Fast Show")

As one does / As you do (Sound familiar, anyone?)

Three guesses. (When the answer to a question is really obvious)

'Ang on a seccy (= Wait for me, I won't be long)

He's such a dude! (about anyone I really fancy)

Exactly (in agreement with what someone is saying)

Totally off the planet (= Very weird / strange)

Oh God knows

Random miscellaneous junk (always in that exact word order)

. . . and everything (e.g. "I bought some Phish Food and everything.")

. . . or something (after saying something a bit weird which might make sense)

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

Yeeeeeeess. (R - you've got a lot to answer for!)

Truezetrue (from Zed)

Byezebye (from Zed again)

Geez (as in: (sarcastically) "Geez, THAT was kind of you!")

Nooooo! Nooooooo! (in desperation, to my evil computer - En)

Die! Die! (also in desperation, to my evil computer - En)

Mee-owwww! (when someone has made a comment that is either catty or kinky)

Let's invade Tyler Court! (Don't ask.)

Eek! (from Zed)


Zed

Geen! (= cross between a goon & a freak)

Geend! (= cross between a geen & a fiend. B is the only geend in the known universe.)

Geen-features (for someone whose name she's temporarily forgotten)

Byezebye

Truezetrue

Yoj! (= joy)

Heech! (= eek)

Mimph (= How annoying)

Bumph (= stuff)

Flippin' splerd (= a sound of exasperation)

Merci! (= thank you)

Mercy! (= let go, when being attacked by a geend)

Groovy! (from En)

fudge! (from B, meaning f***! Only works as an exclamation: "I want to fudge you like an animal" just sounds daft.)

I have to say byezebye, you geens!
