mustardgirl — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 00:42:15 -0500

I love these! My novel has some time-traveling historical figures and I think they're going to need to have some of these. Napoleon gets, "Holy Cranberries!" and I think Catherine de Medici will say, "Oh, balls!" Love it! I guess since I adopted I'll leave some too, I don't know how good these will be though! :D "Not if you own a motorcycle." "What would Chuck Norris do?" "And...I'm still awesome!"

Since I've taken a few, it's only right that I should leave one. To be fair, I've taken this from a book, but it's still one of my favourite phrases: "Well, she's not responding to my advances, so she MUST be dead." (if you have a character who can say this and reflect his personality so perfectly, i love you.) and of course the never forgotten: "Savvy?"

Re: Adopt a Catchphrase

Also leaving... "You sleep rather soundly for a murderer." "Men are but flesh and blood. They know their doom, but not the hour." "By the way... Do you happen to know what the fine is here in _____ for necrophilia? Just asking." "By superhuman effort, you can avoid slipping backwards for a while. But one day, you'll lose a step, or drop a beat, or miss a detail... and you'll be gone forever." "It's the strangest thing. Yesterday, it was hard, today, it is easy. Just a good night's sleep, and yesterday's mysteries are today's masteries." "I heard a rumour that you're an idiot, is there any truth to that?" "Cat's out of the bag on that one, isn't it? Who puts cats in bags, anyway? Cats hate bags." "Go talk to _____, he's got more brains than a brain pie...hmmmm...brain pie... perfect!! Care to donate???" "You know what they say--home is where you hang your enemy's head." “Ignorance is not bliss - it is oblivion” "This is the part where you fall down and bleed to death!!!"
