Kudos to David LaPell, who has provided a little entertainment with his "Phrases you hate to hear" thread. I thought I would provide the opportunity for the contrarian view and see if anything interesting develops.

There are hundreds of great ones, if not thousands or more, from all genre - classical literature, the arts, famous personalities, folk lore, theater and movies, etc., but for my purposes, I have selected one from President Reagan (used adroitly when he testified before the Iran Contra investigation):

"I can't recall." :)

(For me, usually true - and comes in very handy these days. Thank you, Mr. President.)

You guys got any favorites you like to whip out when some poor, unsuspecting slob blunders along and gives you the chance? :D

"i'm all over it."

when asked how i am, m reply is usually "peachy, you? or "happy to be here"

i frequently used "yeaahhh buuuddddddyyyyyy" until i heard one of the jersey shore tools use it.
 
"We're not gonna fall for a banana in the tailpipe."
"Oxygen-thief"
"S/he doesn't have the sense God gave patio furniture."
"As *#&% up as a soup sandwich"
"Who opened a can of stupid and poured it all over the place?"
"I got this"
"You go, girl"
"Put it in 2 and dump the clutch!-MOVE!"


My band-isms
"All skate" or "Everybody in the pool" "Everybody, and their little dog Toto."
"Practice makes permanent."
"Sounds like a barfight in a litterbox"
"Even if you play it wrong, play it strong"
and, for exceptionally stupid mistakes, especially in patriotic music, I just yell "You Communist!"
 
I just remembered I say
"Smoke em if you got em" frequently. Just not in rehearsals with kids.

I also say "...brain went out for a ham sandwich and a beer..."
 
"if it aint dead, keep shootin"

"if my gun kills people, your pencil misspells words"

"right!"

"no you give me YOUR wallet and car keys, ill take jacket and shoes too punk"
 
forgot one...
"did your parents have any kids that lived?"

good insult that gets a quick quizzical look before they figure it out.
 
Three of my "trademark" phases used on the 6th floor
"In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king"
"you can't make chicken salad out of chicken poopoo(forum safe version)"
"I'm paid to make decisions-what do you want me to decide?" This one usually gets my lawyers off dead center and moving :D
 
"Didn't your mother teach you any manners?"

"Man up"

"Yes it is dangerous. That's why I carry it."

"The maximum effective range of an excuse is zero."

"I can only do the things that I can do."
 
I don't really "like" to use it, but it has
come in handy a few times(more than
a few actually)...."Don't let a few seconds
of bravery, screw up the rest of your life."

That one cracked me up!

I thought this was an original with my family-guess not (except the obscenities were left out).

I bet your students love your class. I was inspired by many a good band director through my school years. Was asked many times, "Are you not playing with us, or are we not playing with you?"

My favorite reply to "How are you?" is "Good enuff."
 
Like old Clint would say--I reckon so and then spit, especially on that old dogs head..Remember that? I use it all the time but don't spit on my dogs head. Just one of many.:)
