So I think this was way back when, like in college or something. And some movie came out with some SNL alum. I think. (I am afraid my memory for anything that happened over five years ago is a wash.) Anyways, one of the lines included "For the love of all that is good and holy..." And I admit that maybe, just maybe, I'm misremembering that. But not the for the love part. That I do remember. And I couldn't stop saying it.
Have you noticed that? How some phrases just stick with you always and always. That was eons ago, and I still say "Ooooohhhhh, for the love!" when I get frustrated.
And there are other sundry phrases that I've picked up along the way. Like these:
1. "Your mom!" Whenever I don't have something clever to come back with...which is, admittedly, relatively often...this comes out of my mouth.
2. "I know, right?" Not sure when this happened, but I find myself saying it a lot lately. I sort of like it, though.
3. "What the what?" Thank you Tina Fey, thank you very much. I think that phrase is a fave.
4. "Let's be H." This is from my friend, Jamie Gibson Woods...and the H stands for honest. So when you want to be frank with someone, you say this phrase.
5. "What the H?" Now this is just a Mormon way of swearing. Don't want to say "what the &%^$?!!!"? Just say what the H.
6. "Are you dead serious?" Just an indication that I've been living with my sister-in-law, Leah.
I think it's funny how we pick up on words and phrases and adopt them and say them over and over. I think it is funny how spending time with someone gets you talking like them. And saying stuff they say. Or how pop culture sticks in your brain like that. People always say children are like sponges. But maybe adults are, too. Or maybe I am, anyway.
There is no real point to this post...sort of random like the last one. I sort of like that, though.
