Got a Catchphrase?

Lately I've found I say "Yeesh" a lot as my go-to replacement for everything "eww". Nasty medical picture? High death count at an attack of some kind? Someone makes a stupid move in a Showdown replay? All get a Yeesh from me. I really don't know why.

More intentionally though, I say "But what do I know." I meet a lot of astoundingly stupid* people who are so stupid they don't know their own stupidity, meanwhile I'm... quite sure I don't fit into that category. When I suggest something that helps reduce the stupidity levels in the general area, I know I'm going to be shot down, because stupid people tend to be stuck in their ways. Imagine if in OmegaRuby, Maxie, who communicates, looks, and acts intelligently (as I do too) gets shot down every time he modestly proposes a good idea. This happens to me so often I add "But what do I know" onto every good idea I have, to preemptively shoot myself down.

As a catchphrase, this one has a purpose. It helps me roll with the punches, to prepare myself for the coming reaction from the stupids, so it's helpful for me. But what do I know.

*I'm not trying to be egotistical. I think entirely ordinary regular people are smart. I just happen to know a lot of people who are as stupid as the background characters in Invader Zim.

edit: goofing off online just now I found this gif. Excellent timing to clarify the first part of my big paragraph.

 

Hmm. I guess 'flipped biscuits' would be mine. Made it up years ago to try and cut back on swearing so much. Legit story. Lol.

 

I guess I have so many catchphrases that I can't recall them all. My sister's catchphrase is "Hey..."

Occasionally, my sister and I say this whenever we start a conversation to our best friend:

THE PRE BOSS BATTLE RALLYING CRY!
