Using SW quotes in real life conversation

[wstol]

Anyone ever use any lines from LOTSW in everyday real life conversation?

If I ever see flowers on a dinner table, I always have to say 'Who ordered salad?' (Compo, Uncle of the Bride, and he says something similar in another episode)

If I'm offered a drink, I have to say 'Yes, we've time for a drink' (Wally Batty in one episode, Compo in Getting Sam Home)

And if I'm doing a tricky job, most of Wesley's dialogue from the waste disposal installation in Jaws.

Which lines from which episodes do you find yourselves repeating?

I frequently use some of the terms or endearment Compo uses on Foggy like "You Priscilla" etc, on my closest friends.

 

[gothic]

Oh, I'm Gothic again, must've forgotten to log out

 

[Barrychuckle]

I occasionally used 'Drink your Coffee!' but I find LOTSW doesn't really do catchphrases like other comedies for some reason

 

[Marianna]

I find myself exclaiming, "What a load of old cobblers!" when I hear or read yet another political lie. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty certain that came from LOTSW — I know it isn't a common phrase in this region of the States.

Bog Off
There's always a snag
I'm Doing my Best but my hearts not in it
You great long dollop

A few phrases I drop in conversations at odd times

He said it in Flower Power Cut too.

When passing the blame on someone else I say " look he's dead keen "

 

[Louise Lawrence]

When my Mum asks me whether I want to go out for a walk, I ask "Will there be a pub?"

 

[Barrychuckle]

I occasionally call people a prawn if I lose my temper, but I try and avoid such obscene language

I like to use - "Pretty Baaaaysick", "oh aye" in a mock Yorkshire accent.

 

[imitation700mb]

I find I'm talking like Compo sometimes using "thee" and "tha's" instead of saying "you" or "you are".

Yorkshire is in my genes so I find myself occasionally saying "nah then and the odd tha knows !"

Cobblers is an old exclamation in England that pre-dates SW as far as I know.

Norwegian Runes

I once met a girl

She sang me some songs , played me Norse Tunes
Aren't they good , Norwegian Runes.
