I
have no idea how to spell the word, but I love saying it. Ron Stoppable from
the cartoon Kim Possible used to say Bouyaa, and years later I’m still saying it.
Catch
phrases make the best friend character more memorable and usually adds a comedic feel to a movie or sitcom. I don’t often find best friend catch phrases in
novels. I think this is because the words would be repetitive and the reader
tends to like fresh words and ideas as s/he moves along (I'm guessing here).
My
favorite catch phrase is from the movie Three
Can Play That Game where the best friend keeps saying, “That’s that
bullshit right there.” I love it. She’s basically talking about men, but the
phrase can be added to all sorts of things. Apply it and see if it fits during an
inconvenient situation in your life. I do it all that time.
What
is a best friend catch phrase that you can’t get out of your mind?

Bouyaa is an awesome catch phrase!!
ReplyDeleteClearly, I don't say it enough. I wonder what my hubby's reaction might be if I started saying it around him? hehehe
Thanks for stopping by and making me laugh Lynda. I hope you try it and see his reaction.
DeleteYou've got me thinking.. I'm not sure I notice them but will make an effort to now.
ReplyDeleteThe catch phrases can be entertaining.
DeleteI love Bouyahh too!!! This is a great blog, and I will definitely stop by more often.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Did you just give the correct spelling for Bouyahh? It looks better than mine.
DeleteHey.. I never had thought before on catch phrases although I identify it.. But your blog made me recap instances
ReplyDeleteUnless a catch phrase resonates with you, you don't tend to pay it any mind.
DeleteBest Friends, excellent, Nana! I have a group that goes back to my 13th year, we still get together. Love good friends.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to know that someone has known you for longer than anyone else, and they still like you.
DeleteOne of my friends used to roll her eyes at me when I said something which showed I wasn't on the same page and say 'what am I rearing?' as if she was my mom. It was funny the way she did it.
ReplyDeleteThat's cute Maria.
DeleteBFF's - My best friend and I didn't really like each other until we got put on a project together in 7th grade. Who knew she was really fun? We were in each other's weddings, and even though we live far apart - She's in Alaska, I'm in Ct, we see each other once a year. She comes back to NY to see her family and we always get together. I hope to get to Alaska someday :)
ReplyDeleteBest friends are awesome. Long time best friends are even better.
DeleteThis isn't exactly what you're talking about, but in the movie, The Other Guys, and they're close to the explosion, and lying on the pavement, he's like - you know how tose guys in movies just get up and walk away?? I CALL BULLSHIT ON THAT ONE!,
ReplyDeleteHubs and I say this all the time...
That movie was hilarious and that line cracked me up. I mean I had tears in eyes and I couldn't stop laughing. Laughing like crazy now. That was a great line. He yelled it because he couldn't hear at the time. O my goodness- too funny.
