My mom is a fan of the herd of turtles. She also says Hasty Banana and Much Grass b/c some kid in her Spanish class back in high school couldn't get the hang of hasta manana (I can't do the squiggle over the n) and muchas gracias.
We call my parents The Show. "Call The Show and see if they want to come for supper" It started out as the Jim and Jo Show, and we shortened it. We also call dad Big Jim and Jimminy Slickett.
When we were little, my dad used to say Hut (rhymes w/foot) Mida (mid-uh) to us, when we wanted us to get a move on. He swore up and down it was Swedish. Fast forward 30 years, and I'd said it to London at Grampa and Gramma's one day "C'mon London, hut mida, let's go" and they were like WTF? They said dad made that up and it's not Swedish, and they've no clue how he came up w/it. Whatever, I still say it.
A few years ago, JD, Dad and my brother went on vacation together w/a friend of theirs. When they came back, they were unpacking and kept saying "Hey, you ricken me?" and I was totally lost. My dad's brother's name is Rick. Somehow they decided that if someone was irritating them or for whatever other reason, it would be called rick-en. That's stuck now, and we all say it. Not around Rick tho.
You pickin up what I'm laying down? and You smell what I'm stepping in? we also say to see if the other person gets what we're saying.
Dad says "Yep yep see ya" when they're leaving. He's always in a hurry, so it's like one word. yepyepseeya. My brother says "yep yep" when people ask him to do things at his office, so now the thing there is "Oooo he yep yepped ya!"
JD and I say "Why do you make me hurt you?" if we run into each other, or if we're play fighting and it gets a little rough. And we hold our thumb and forefinger up and click them together and say "I peench" when we get rowdy too..there was a car commercial years ago that had a crab and he held his pincers up and said "I peench" and ohh it used to make us die laughing.
