"What in the bomb crustable fuck?" or "Heaven's Hell!"

When asked where I'm going, "straight to hell if I don't change my ways".

I think it's mostly that I use "good morning" as a greeting regardless of time of day

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I used to do that in high school, it drove people nuts back in those days

[–] Muninn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I do pretty much the same, but with "good evening". Funny to see people slowly shift to "good evening" over time when talking to me.

Whenever a non-stranger asks how I’m doing my go to reply is β€œEh. I’m about as miserable as I usually am.” other than that, I have a bad habit of ending sentences with β€œeh?” or β€œya know?” when speaking

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Lately I say β€œwhat the fuck” a lot of

At the end of the day, it gets dark.

I have quite a few Noodleisms I use on a regular basis. "Not with that attitude" is often a fun one, but I'm quite partial to "... but I'm not a botanist" when I'm sharing an amateurish opinion on something that is in no way related to plants.

I started saying 'Passiert den besten' ('happens to the best of us') as a joke when a friend would mention a minor inconvenience or fuckup. It turned from joke to an automatic reply

[–] Ballissle@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

"I'm bouta split" is one i once said at a pub with my friends out of the blue. They found it hilarious and so i still say it occasionally when it feels right. Sometimes they steal it from me too.

What fresh hell is this?

I use this whenever my supervisor tells me she has news for me.

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not sure, could be "and, um, yeah" when my sentence trails off because I've forgotten what I was talking about halfway through the sentence.

[–] Tweekerz@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Sometimes i do that, or i say "so... yeah!"

I did in elementary school. "To the max!"

"Wham, bam, feed me ham!"

"Holy smokes!" -- in response to something not that interesting occurring

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Sp kindof ironically?

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have a few. One is "That's what I always tell them", sometimes followed by "but they don't listen" usually when being insulted or critiqued. I'm also a big fan of saying "why not?" when someone asks me "why?". The other doesn't translate to English very well. I guess "huzzah!" or "commendations!" are close, but they don't capture the tone and how obscure the original is.

[–] Tweekerz@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

what is it in your language?

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 3 points 1 day ago

"Enorabuena!" It's used in some countries, but is extremely rare in mine.

I jokingly say "who did/was that?" when it was obviously me. For example: After a fart that I announced before.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

G-Dang it! I normally have no filter for profanity, so people always laugh when I use it. I stole it from the Neature Walk series on YouTube.

[–] locuester@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong twice before…. I divorced them both tho.

[–] scytale@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

I noticed I’ve been using β€œfor sure” on in-person conversations often. Not on chats and comments for some reason though.
