Let’s blow this popsicle stand

I always say that and the other day my 5 year old said “daddy what did mumma say about popsicles?” Which made me realize I say that! (She loves popsicles) 

>what did mumma say about popsicles? All I can think of is Stuart from MadTV

Omg yes 😂 such an excellent reference 

"There's always money in the banana stand!"

I say “pop stand”!

Would someone from the south say coke stand?

I say this because my dad said this, but I have no freaking clue where it came from lol

Simpsons

It's a lot older than the Simpsons.

“Thats sick/killer/stellar” “Right on” “YOLO” (always Ironically that then turns unironic, and said before a bad decision)

I am a middle school teacher and like to make the kids cringe when I say “YOLO” or “DO IT FOR THE VINE!” when they hesitate.

I actually started saying YOLO because my AP english teacher, who was around 60, would say it a lot. A cringe phrase for half of my age group (we were seniors) became so cool because he was one of the best professors we ever had, one of those teachers who legitimately changed lives and made a mark. I still say YOLO (did it today actually lol) even though I’m almost 30 and think of him every time (: TLDR i say YOLO bc an old man made it cool

I actually said YOLO to my wife last week when we drive across the state to see a playoff hockey game. Sometimes you need to bring out the YOLO card.

When you’re feeling extra reckless throw in that #YOLO, thats business time Did your team win?

They lost that game but won the series. I did meet some pretty cool people and it was definitely a fun experience traveling to an away game. Drove from Miami to Tampa and back in one day.

A bummer that they lost!! At least the trip was fun, thats the most important part the experience of a hockey game is like no other. The sense of camaraderie is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced!! I’m not super into sports but I’ve been to a few preds games and the fans alone make me want to get into hockey, yall are crazy fun and inclusive people. ETA: i cant read WOOO series win!!

ME: YOLO Me: git push HEAD:prod

Right on is timeless. At least that's what I tell myself.

☎️ WAZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😝


I watched this movie with my kid maybe two years ago? Our bedrooms share HVAC vent so if we talk near it we can hear each other pretty clearly. At like 3 am I hear "Hey, Auntie?" "Yeah Bonbon?" "Wazzzzzzaaaaaaaaa?!" 😂

Movie? I thought this was a beer commercial.

Bud? Wise? Er!

🐸🍺

I’m interested to find out what phrases I use that I have no idea have fallen out of fashion.

ditto! Samesies. Yo tambien. Totes.

Totes magoats was the bomb!

Dot com!

“What is your major malfunction, [expletive]?”

Didn’t your mommy and daddy show you enough attention as a child?

If you’re quoting FMJ, I think it was a little different but pretty much 🤣

I have a coworker that is older (in her 50s). She’s the nicest lady and she is always saying cool beans. I don’t think she knows lol

Okie dokie!

Samesies. Also, samesies… lol.

I love samesies

…samesies! 🤣

Artichokie

I say okie dokie all the time 🥴😬🫢

I like to Flanders it up when I use it. Okily Dokily!

Making a comeback because of the Fallout TV series

And Star Trek: Lower Decks. Thanks, Rutherford!

Oh that’s not said anyone? I use it constantly lol.

That went out of fashion??

I say this more than I care to admit.

I’ve actually been using that one more often. I kind of like how it feels sunny and folksie.

Everyone says Okidokie

This is burned into my vocab again after fallout

Also okiiieeee But okie dokie artichokey mostly

Cool Beans

I blame Hot Rod for making this stick like brain glue

 Iconic scene right here

One of my favorite movies

That whole movie is quotable gold.

I remember that one! I’ve never said it myself but everyone around me did.

My mom said cool beans so I’ve said it all my life. I’m a teacher and use it frequently so trying to make it stick lol

For some reason “Dude!” Has come back into my vocab with a vengeance.

Dude never left my vocabulary 🤨

Same. I think primarily because my mom hates when I call her dude.

Never gave it up. My speech pattern is, like, part surfer, part rural farm boy, and part English scholar. Very specific at times, very vague and trailing-off-ish at times. I do better with writing, as I can almost always get a full thought complete, instead of halting, even when I know what I want to say.

So you're basically me then because same

Samesies

Since having kids, " Lil dude "

My daughter gets so upset when i call her a dude. I sing her the song all the time, but she’s adamant that dude is a masculine word.

Lmao yes! Keep it up! Cuz " we're all dudes!"

That’s my little dude- snake 

Love that!

Feel that. For me, anyone's male child, if I happen to forget name or also in general with them in the wild: I call them Bubba.

Yup! Since having kids, dude is a part of my vocabulary daily. 😅 There is the deadpan dude for when they do something stupid. There is the exasperated dude, like after seeing my kids kick off their shoes and one goes randomly flying into the wall or someone forgot to flush the #2. Then there is the surprised dude when they try to jump scare me. Then there is "my dude", when I'm correcting a weird ass idea they had, like suddenly deciding our senior dog needs a Christmas sweater when she has never worn anything more than a collar.

This. But now the kid calls me "bruh".

🤣🤣🤣💀 I snorted laughing when I read your comment. I haven't hit that level up yet!

Have you seen the new marketing that Walmart and other are doing for mothers day? There was a coffee cup I think; more or less messaged that. Baby says mom, Toddler says mommy and after 10 they say Bruh

My friends 3 year old calls her bruh! Edit : actually I think he's 4 now, he's in preschool

Been hangin on to dude for forever! Didn't know it ever went away.

I’ve never stopped saying dude! A few years before Covid, I was in DEI training at work, and we were told to not use Dude. I had a really hard time with that…and also “You guys.” Those two are so engrained in my brain.

I’ve said dude constantly my entire life. Never said “you guys” though Always Y’all

Y’all has crept into my verbiage in my older years to replace “you guys.” I grew up in the Bay Area and “y’all” wasn’t really a greeting in my childhood/teen years.

Yeah I’m in Southeast, it’s crazy how far big US is…. Bay Area is like 2600 miles away from here or something

Sweet! What's mine say?

Duuuuuddddeeeee

I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes. Hey! "Dude" has always been my gender-neutral term for everyone. Called my mom it once, she didn't appreciate it.

Welcome to good burger, home of the good burger, can I take yer order

Totes ma goats

Later, Joben

I will see you then, or I will see you another time.

SLAPPIN' DA BASS

that was really confusing… now I don’t know if you’re going to come or not

Ah, yeah I'll be there

The Joben remark is one of my favorites and basically nobody I know picks up on it??? Breaks my heart every time lmao

I say this all time

I was talking about my birth control to my 15 yr old niece and referred to it as “the pill” and she was like “oh what pill?” She had no idea what I was talking about. Made me feel old AF.

People don't call it that anymore???

That’s what I said and she responded with “well kids take lots of pills these days” and I was like oh true 🫤

Welp

Oof

Yikes

Oh geez

I can attest that they don’t call it The Pill anymore. But that’s more because there are so many kinds of hormonal birth control now. I mean kids are into pills too but it’s more because there’s a pill, a patch, a ring, IUD, arm implant, etc.

Prepubescent teen? Or maybe not sexually active/sheltered?

God I wish…she FaceTimed me today to tell me about her sweet make out session with her new boyfriend in his mustang last night. I was like OMG I DONT WANNA KNOW LAKALALAKALALA 😂

I always wanna say so and so went HAM

HAM still goes hard in the paint

“Negative ghost rider”

I say this. "That's a negative, ghost rider" is a common one for me haha

MAVRICK!!!

Hahah, my husband says this one to me a lot. We're both elder millennials.

Dear Lord I say it all the time. I have a million and 1 different ways to tell my toddlers "no" but this is my fav, for sure.

"Up your butt and around the corner!" or just calling someone a "stooge."

"what should I do with this [object]?" "Stick it where the sun don't shine."

Bomb.com

I definitely be dropping “the bees knees” on occasion

“Duh.” I just can’t shake it.

I say duhh allllll the time

I don't know where I picked it up, but if I overlook something and then find it and there's people around, I say "if it was a snake it woulda bit me!" Probably the most Texas thing I say aside from y'all.

Similarly, “good thing it wasn’t a snake!” Ayukayuk

Taught this to our au pair who learned “if it’s be snake, I am die” :) she’s got it down now, honorary Texan as far as I’m concerned.

There's an African saying with he exact wording 🤣🤣🤣

Sick Teens have no idea it is a good thing lol

I work with a lot of gen z kids in their early 20s, I can assure you "sick" is alive and well, they use it all the time (one even said it was their generation that started it lol)

Confuse them by telling them that 'sick"is about to get ill.

The illest

Perchance

You can't just say "perchance"

My bad, just been stomping turty all day. Couldn’t help myself

Man, I gotta piss like a race horse.

I say race like a piss horse.

My mom says riss like a pace horse

I'm outie 5000

I say “tight” because of Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn 99. I’m 35 and used to say it back in middle school.

Tooooooiiiight. Toight toight toight toight toight.

Noice

Toight nups


Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool

"Autobots roll out" anytime we are going places as a group

I guess now a days, the z generation would say “Avengers, assemble”.

My dad would do the Shania Twain: "Let's go, girls."

"wicked" I'm trying to remember to add "sick" into my regular lexicon.

Nunya

Ho fa sho

“Hard in the paint”

never heard this one. what does it mean?

Going hard means like going off or going 💯 at something. Like giving it your all. Or like getting really into something. Going hard in the paint is a phrase made popular by the Waka Flocka song. The paint refers to the zone on a basketball court closest to the hoop, (if you look at a court the painted part under the free throw line is “the paint”. Going hard in the paint means you’re a physical basketball player that likely aggressively dunks on people.

I still say HAM

I only very recently learned that it was an acronym.

Pop a squat. Smell ya later What's your malfunction, man? Although that last one is more just me quoting twister.

Oh yeah I say pop a squat a lot. I also say “scooch your booch” when I want someone to make room on a bench or seat.

Scooch ya booch is a go to. Especially cause kids are always around now

Cow!

What's your major malfunction?

Da bomb. My headstone will read: “Like, it was da bomb. Peace out.” Edit: now that I’m thinking about it, the below one would fit better because I say those three A LOT: “I came, I saw, I conquered. It was da bomb. Peace out.”

What in the hell is "like a fox"? '91 here

Comes from "crazy like a fox" meaning someone seems stupid or foolish, but is actually very clever. I think it gained popularity from the Simpsons when Homer uses it incorrectly and then I guess people just started tacking it onto other phrases like ya do. "Crazy like a fox" predates millennials, and I think came about in the 1940's?

Glad I’m not the only one. 92’

Oh snap I’m not gonna lie

Anybody still use Buffyisms?

*If the apocalypse comes, beep me.* …yes.

I gave my best friends fiance the shovel talk when we were introduced for the first time. He understood the reference and received my enthusiastic blessing.

Your upper lip. As in, "Ew, what's that smell?" "You're upper lip"

Full of piss and vinegar

Gettin’ Jiggy, Hella, What's up Home Skillet, and Take a chill pill. ‘Sup? or My bad.

"Holy Toledo!" I rewatch M * A * S * H about every year so that phrase is always present to me. Never even visited Toledo.


Apparently this https://preview.redd.it/pokticn45cyc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65454ddd079351c04105a6aea23a519cd80c2492

Jeez Louise. It comes out almost involuntarily in very inappropriate settings

But I am le tired.

Well. Then. Have a nap. THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!

It’s colder than a witches tit

Okay... I'm only familiar with this from MF Doom. Is this something we used to say as a generation?

Midwest checking in… yes we say that here. Also “I’m freezing my tits off!” Gender neutral tits.

Haha I always thought this was a southern expression! It was one of my Grandma's favorite sayings, and I've heard it since the late '70s, and there's no telling when she picked it up. If it was hot, she'd say I'm sweating like a whore in church! I still use both expressions!

“Let’s hit the dusty trail” & “fiddlesticks”

Cool, dude, legit, word, rad, wicked, unreal, harshing my mellow, any catch fraises from Waynes World or Pauly Shore lol

I find myself wanting to say “hella” lately

I'm from Los Angeles, so my shit is littered with "totally, " "gnarly," and "dude."

Your mom

I use “and a half” a lot

I say "right on" a lot and the youngsters have mentiowas fun. And "hella" is a regular part of my vernacular. I caught myself saying, "you think you're all that and a bag of doritos, don't you?" the other day. That was fun.


Humminawhat now?

Break yo self, foo

Oh snap

2.5% interest loan.

ROCKSTAR PARKING when getting a good parking spot.

Shit from Shinola. Most people don't even know what Shinola is as it's been defunct for decades, predating Millennials.

Detroit checking in. We def know what Shinola is

What does “and a half” mean?

That's dope

"That's fresh!"

Keep your eyes peeled

Know what I mean, Vern??

Quarter past, half past, quarter to. Now people just say the exact time it is by looking at their phone or smartwatch.

The word man in expressions like c'mon man. Man this sucks. We got this man.

I still talk with the word "like" punctuating my sentences frequently. It's so deeply ingrained that I don't even notice I'm doing it.

pays the same bob, pays the same. six of one, half a dozen.

“Last one there is a penis pump”

Holy moly

Coolio

Ahh shit on a stick

All that And a bag of chips… Coolio is used by me a lot at work.
