I say like and do you know what I mean constantly. Also “I’ve got it”
“it’s fine”… It’s very versatile for self reassurance. Working on something and find yourself letting perfect be the enemy of good? Just stop, it’s fine. Making some mountain out of a molehill? Stop worrying about it, it’s fine… Before I get too carried away with examples, I’ll just stop there, it’s fine
I’ve got new socks on.
Fuck? Kinda my favourite.
Haha me too fucking love it
Just remembered a few more:
When someone asks “how’s it going,” I’ll either respond “it goes” or “relentlessly,” depending on how relentlessly it goes.
In response to a question in a field in which I have little expertise, I shall respond with “I’m not a botanist.”
When multiple small things go wrong in quick succession, I may quip “Mondays, right?” only if the day is not Monday.
My response to “how are you?” Translates to “preferably well”
I tend to reply that I’m going “reasonable” mostly copying a dead friend who used to say it when asked. He died in his 90s of natural causes but was a really interesting fella. Homosexual, Jewish, Holocaust survivor, antiquities dealer.
“I’m full of good ideas ;)” as a response to someone using a suggestion of mine and saying it helped.
I started saying it to boost my own confidence, I think. But it’s true!
“Bro.” Started saying it ironically and accidentally rewired my brain.
“Oop, sorry”
Can apply for a variety of situations such as someone accidentally bumping into me, me accidentally bumping into them, or making a little mistake on something. Sometimes I’ll even instinctively say it to inanimate objects that I knock over!
Hi canadian poster!
“First of all…”
I said it so many times while drunk once that my brother made a song mocking me. That was a wild night.
Hell yeah, brother!
Keep on truckin
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
“What day is it?”
If I’m alone I’ll just randomly ask myself now and then.
Nice one :)
¼*⅓ chance of getting it right.
… Does that equal 1/7? My phone doesn’t have a shortcut for it.
Getting it right is the wrong philosophy. As the saying goes, live every day like it’s Monday.
“Upright and conscious” is my goto response to casual questions. I also preference almost every sentence with some modulation of “Yeah”, meaning everything from “Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly” to “Yeah, bro you sure you wanna do this?” to “yeahh so the cops are here and I told you so”"
“Alive and vertical” is my variation on that first one there. Sometimes I use “very low baseline” as an afterthought, because some folks seem confused by it.
I also say “I know English wasn’t my first language, but I could have sworn this made sense. Maybe we’re speaking different English.” I speak English just fine, without any trace of accent (beyond Chicago), but that makes people take a step back and pay attention to what I said or wrote.
“Santa polenta!”
= saint cornmeal mush
When something annoying or bad happens.
