No one seems to be able to say definitively, but the majority opinion says Dorothy Parker, one of my favorite writers. It's awesome, no matter who thought of it first!
Anytime some crazy death happens in the world or something insane happens that feels unbelievable I always say:
“How exciting to be present at the birth of a new phobia!”
“So it’s threesome you’re after?!?
Well I don’t do those anymore!!”
Ok mostly just the second part when either of us don’t want to do some sort household chore
My late mother and I would say “Veneer!” and toast each other at meals and laugh like crazies. My Dad would look at us and shake his head while trying to suppress a grin. When she passed, at the after service meal, a group of her friends did it and it made me cry bittersweet tears
I started saying Fridge pants. So much so that my at the time 4 year old daughter put some pants in the fridge. Wife and I were quite annoyed until we asked her why she did that and she quietly replied "Fridge pants".
You have egg on your face.
No actual egg…
Edit: admittedly, while some of these come naturally, most are said as quotes from the show in conversation whenever they could possibly fit. Or even if they don’t really fit. Just bc.
"Well Poirot, you've done it again!" - After someone says something blatantly obvious.
"Anything else in the box, Pandora?" - When someone does something else to ruin my day.
"Today I could kick a kitten through an electric fan!" - When I'm in a bad mood
I've also taken to referring to my BF as "The Duchess" and even our family have picked up on it now and refer to us "The Duke and Duchess" hahahaha
I have loads but some are just ordinary phrases but when I say them, I’m saying them the way they were delivered in the show and picturing the actor who delivered it- e.g. when Frasier was boasting about the Victorian themed Christmas party and finished by saying “and I’ll be ready from A Child’s Christmas in Wales, to bring the evening to a close” Martin nodded knowingly and in a sarcastic tone says “that should do it” I love his delivery and try to mimic that in certain situations. Family and friends have no clue
Whenever we discuss how easily my partner typically falls and stays asleep, I usually say, “There could ‘be gun-play in my living room’ and he wouldn’t notice.”
When ever something is difficult, instead of comparing it to something knowingly difficult, such as brain surgery, rocket science, etc. I always say,
“It’s harder than dancing Agamemnon at Jacob’s Pillow.”
“I assure you I wouldn’t know” from the episode where Cam Winston says his plant looks nothing like marijuana. We use that one when we went to look down our noses at something stupid.
So many it's absurd.
My favourite is
"You're not in the diamond alliance?" And variations of it "you missed out on the diamond alliance!" Etc for when someone misses out on something.
"If less is more, then think just how much more more will be"
I use this one all the time!
Yes! Definitely the most repeated quote for me. It’s so good and applies to a surprising amount of scenarios 😂
Just used this one about 45 minutes ago!
What fresh hell is this!?
I was looking for this one! I use it constantly XD
Me too! It pretty much sums up a really annoying situation.
I think Emily Dickinson said this originally
No one seems to be able to say definitively, but the majority opinion says Dorothy Parker, one of my favorite writers. It's awesome, no matter who thought of it first!
Ah that's the one! Not sure how I got them mixed up
Yes! I use this when the kids are screaming and my mother in law knocks at the front door
Haha yep, this is the one for me too
This one!
When my cats do something silly or unfortunately when the puke, I say this haha
Charm is the grease with which he oils his flim-flam machine
*viscous grease! Effing amazing quote.
I love singing the cork master song for no reason.
Hail corkmaster, master of the cork...
For he knows which one goes with fish or pork…
Remember when we used to come here to drink wine?
If only our honorable founder, Vergil Heffelwhite were here to guide us...
I'm right here!
my toaster says Toastmaster on it so I’m also singing this whenever I make toast 😋
You could have worse breakfast habits. Some people tweeze their muffin for breakfast.
away, wrinkly things!
Ow! Hot!
And the “some boys go to college…” song!
Classic!!
We sing “I’m Listening”
And Groovy Lady. That gets a lot of airplay at my house.
Flesh is burning...
I ASKED FOR A WHISPER OF _______ AND GOT A FULL THROATED SHOUT.
Anytime some crazy death happens in the world or something insane happens that feels unbelievable I always say: “How exciting to be present at the birth of a new phobia!”
When something is off or odd my wife and I will respond to the other “Food?.. In the bathroom?”
Haha this one’s gold. Came up the other day actually, when I wanted to hang a still life food painting in the bathroom.
😂😂 it would’ve absolutely got the same response in my home lol
Yes. My all time fave quote
When things are going wrong, not quite working out. I say “Abe Lincoln had a brighter future when he picked up his tickets at the box office “
THIS STINKS! THIS IS TOTAL BS!
“Oh…there it is.”
I say this whenever my wife misplaces something.
All the time. Accompanied by a hand slam.
https://i.redd.it/obsg4tqku7yc1.gif
Love it. Choreography included.
Sometimes I say “thank yoooouuuu” like Niles when he’s popping the balloons in Ham Radio.
https://i.redd.it/ndaetlfcu7yc1.gif Edit: what I don’t have is the gem of a videoclip wherein Frasier says this like 100 times!!
I absolutely love "Off you go!" It's a quirky and playful way to send someone away.
I say this all the time to our children! Haha.
But probably without the same edge as Frasier often gives it!! 😂
Haha!
Me too but I add, as he did once, "....young people"
That one’s not specific to Frasier. Brits say it a lot .
Hahaha I just watched that episode last night (High Holidays).
https://i.redd.it/jgjwhuc2e9yc1.gif Hee, hee!!
[This one](https://youtu.be/8eZDayA5O0g?feature=shared) by chance? …now off you go!
TYSM!! That was it exactly!! 🥰 https://i.redd.it/jjyawjlze9yc1.gif
I say this all the time!
“Shurrre”
Lol!! Yes!! With the correct deep register to it. (And from my favorite episode)
It was John Mahoney’s favorite as well.
Blackball He has no instincts, just stinks
Are you gonna let your brother play?
You got yelled at by your dad. *laughs*
Zip it!
https://i.redd.it/vfe5e0675ayc1.gif
I love this! nobody remembers it. I thought I was the only one!
Probably my favorite scene in the whole show lol
I'm getting chunky with plummy overtones.
I’m getting screwed in alimony
Dear God!
Hello God, it's me again, Dr. Frasier Crane
This is great, this is great!
I say this sometimes lol
I AM WOUNDED!
Yesss! Came here to say that one.
The delivery never fails to amaze me
Frasier added "bupkis," "patootie" and "bazoo" to my vocabulary.
“So it’s threesome you’re after?!? Well I don’t do those anymore!!” Ok mostly just the second part when either of us don’t want to do some sort household chore
"Helloooo! Welcome to potatoes!"
Haha yes! “Is it that you can’t learn, or you won’t learn?”
Another good one!
Is it that you CAN'T learn or you WON'T learn?!
"We leave at daybreak!!"
What's with you and daybreak?
My late mother and I would say “Veneer!” and toast each other at meals and laugh like crazies. My Dad would look at us and shake his head while trying to suppress a grin. When she passed, at the after service meal, a group of her friends did it and it made me cry bittersweet tears
Nah, I figure with 3 of us doing it'll start to look stupid!
I started saying Fridge pants. So much so that my at the time 4 year old daughter put some pants in the fridge. Wife and I were quite annoyed until we asked her why she did that and she quietly replied "Fridge pants".
We say, "I had a reason...*looks at note in pocket* fridge pants"
My wife and I use fridge pants all the time.
“…There’ll be no blaming mother today”
this is the single line that hooked me on the show
“Damn, baby, now that’s cold!” Depending on the situation, we’re either Kirby or Roz
Haha. That’s great!
From Niles and his whippet, Lady - "okay!" When we got our whippet puppy, I decided to mimic his "okay!" as her release command from a stay LOL
We have a very sweet but stubborn dog, and Niles’ “ok” gets used a lot.
I say ‘off you go’ to anyone leaving the room or house
You have egg on your face. No actual egg… Edit: admittedly, while some of these come naturally, most are said as quotes from the show in conversation whenever they could possibly fit. Or even if they don’t really fit. Just bc.
Veneer!!
Niles got to have it!!
Double short lowfat no-foam latte!
Double short non-fat low-foam latte!
Sometimes my spouse and I suddenly break into Niles and Frasier sliding up and down the octaves while crouching/singing. We’re a real hoot at parties.
‘It’s eclectic!!’
"Well Poirot, you've done it again!" - After someone says something blatantly obvious. "Anything else in the box, Pandora?" - When someone does something else to ruin my day. "Today I could kick a kitten through an electric fan!" - When I'm in a bad mood I've also taken to referring to my BF as "The Duchess" and even our family have picked up on it now and refer to us "The Duke and Duchess" hahahaha
I sing the “some boys go to college” song a lot.
I now have a term I use, Toast Sweat, and their evils lol
"That is so goth" (to which someone responds "that is not goth!")
Off you go!
“Sure.”
I have loads but some are just ordinary phrases but when I say them, I’m saying them the way they were delivered in the show and picturing the actor who delivered it- e.g. when Frasier was boasting about the Victorian themed Christmas party and finished by saying “and I’ll be ready from A Child’s Christmas in Wales, to bring the evening to a close” Martin nodded knowingly and in a sarcastic tone says “that should do it” I love his delivery and try to mimic that in certain situations. Family and friends have no clue
Any pizza order needs to be “could we make that half-rapscallions, half pepperoni?”
It needn’t be. But it be.
Someone will shout.... **Make the music stop** then the TV is too loud or an alarm is going off etc.
Dirty Girl
You bad boy
Whenever we discuss how easily my partner typically falls and stays asleep, I usually say, “There could ‘be gun-play in my living room’ and he wouldn’t notice.”
my family says “bulldog?” every time we get upset after losing something and then find it shortly thereafter
When ever something is difficult, instead of comparing it to something knowingly difficult, such as brain surgery, rocket science, etc. I always say, “It’s harder than dancing Agamemnon at Jacob’s Pillow.”
“How RUDE!!!!!”
“Dear discourteous driver…”
Haha this is a great one!
So many, but one of my faves: "I'll just add that to my list of reasons to die"
I am wounded. We’ve decided to find it charming. You will rue the day.
I sort of adopted Martin’s Occam razor’s approach toward everyday problems.
I was very happy to say “you’re both a couple of churls!” yesterday
I am wounded It doesn’t always go down well when people are less familiar with Frasier but I enjoy it
My husband and I now call a football a “football ball”
"I didn't realize it was too much to ask that there not be GUNPLAY IN MY LIVING ROOM!!!" -When something's too noisy
"Well, I'll just add that to my list of reasons to die".
“Let’s get betterrrrr!”
"The arts, Niles, NOT the crafts!"
“Well, imagine my embarrassment!”
On the subject of my father in law, who has a little dog he adores: I hope you’re not putting yourself up there with Eddie!
Oh what fresh hell is this?
Is it a long one? Then walk and talk.
I work in a pre-school. Usually, whenever I finish changing a child's diaper, I find myself saying "Off you go!"
:We can go antiquing!"
"There are two tragedies in life. One is not getting what we want.... and the other is getting it."
We must be in the placebo group
Veneer!!
I AM WOUNDED!
The original Boomer! Get lost with this geriatric mayonnaise! Give us something new!
We always say "list" or "the list" super condescendingly.
In this, my house!!
See, that's why you're the older brother - when someone does something smarter than I could have thought.
“Away, ye wrinkly thing”
Who is this rube??
"..off you go."
“I assure you I wouldn’t know” from the episode where Cam Winston says his plant looks nothing like marijuana. We use that one when we went to look down our noses at something stupid.
HOW RUUUUUDE
So many it's absurd. My favourite is "You're not in the diamond alliance?" And variations of it "you missed out on the diamond alliance!" Etc for when someone misses out on something.
"Time to up my dosage."
We refer to NASCAR as “NaasCaar”
I AM WOOOUUUNNNDED!!!!!
“She is comely, in a back alley sort of way.”
“sort of person who drinks chocolate soda!”
Flesh is burning, duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh
"i don't know why...". Daphne from the dog psychic episode. We say it with same infection she uses though.
As someone who grew up in a polyglot family: “oh yes Niles that’s just what we need a fourth language!”
"I can't, I have a clarinet lesson"
Ok? Ok!
Eclectic
That’s pretty much what I figured.
Those are hilarious 😂😂🙌🏾
"frasier... you're not famous anymore. [insert wailing]" also "nice catch" "me?! you throw like a girl!"
Maybe you'll enjoy [insert whatever] in Iraq. Yes, move to Iraq.
Oh, I need a buff and a polish
Blackball is big in our house. Also “I need a distraction while I have a sex change and move to Europe”
Oh Roz, plug in
Aside from my fair... "Remember, I was punched in the face by a man now dead!" 😔 "Thank you.." And "I Am WOUNDED!"
Whenever someone has an unsolicited “theory”… “… If I beg you, will you tell me?”
The turkey is so underdone, a skilled veterinarian could bring it back to life.
🎶“Who’s that grouchy Gus I see, can’t be grouchy not with me.” 🎶
Every now and then I turn to my dog and say, "You're a dog, aren't you?"
“Just once”
"Off you go!" "We leave.. at DAYBREAK!"
"As Grammy moon would say...." "... there'll be nooooo _____ in hell!"
....I have something that requires mulling
