Vivid phrases from people we know
de_la_Nae:
As a child, or maybe teen, I was really confused by something my grandmother said one time in response to some complaint made by...someone. I don't remember the specifics.
But I do remember looking at her for a long moment in puzzlement, going over in my head as to what I'd heard, trying to make it make sense, or figure out what she'd actually said (I've realized over time that I have some intermittent malfunction in my audio translation neural network where normal spoken words turn into nonsense for a moment).
Finally I gave up, having exhausted anything that made any sense, and spoke to her in a questioning voice what I thought she'd said. "Er...wait...uh...tough... tough kitties? What?"
So yeah, she might have had a good laugh about that one. But damnit I remember forever now what she *actually* said, though I admit I usually use my version instead.
LTK:
...So what did she say?
de_la_Nae:
Whoops. Sorry, thought I'd typed it.
It's something alliterative, and it ain't 'kough kitties'.
cesium133:
Well, a saying I've heard is "Tough titties, said the kitty, the milk has run dry."
lepetitfromage:
Oh man. I have a ton of winners haha. Most of them are slips of the tongue rather than creative wordplay but they're just as amusing to me none the less. :-P
My mom a few years ago, in regards to one dish at Christmas dinner: "Mashed potatoes- straight from the potato!"
My best friend Megan, when talking about our childhood memories: "Did you guys ever have a McDonald's Christmas?" (She meant birthday....but we all felt pretty bad for her for a couple seconds haha)
Me, while watching the Oscars last year, after explaining that I just don't understand the appeal of George Clooney, he appeared on camera and caught me off guard: "His teeth.....are so....SMART."
