"Gag me with a spoon" has been underutilized in recent years, if you ask me.

"psych"

as in when I saw Paula Abdul perform when I was 10, she went behind a screen to change costume and asked if anybody wanted to come up on stage and help her, then she was all, "PSYCH!" lol

"Holy mackerel!"

My grandpa used to say that shit all the time so I associate it with the smell of dry martinis.

Referring to the radio as 'the wireless'.

I don't know if that's just an Aussie thing though.

My grandma always used to say it. 'oohhhhh yes dear, I heard it on the wireless!' she used to say.

I thoroughly enjoy calling the internet by its full and proper name - the information superhighway, or "the ish" for short.

Since Conan O'Brien has now decided to do "In the Year 3000 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmk9CjEha8A)" I'm bringing back "In the Year 2000 (http://www.slovensko.com/docs/2000/en.htm)" Slovensko style.

Plus a remake of the song "Signed Sealed Delivered" called "Keyed Spell checked, Sent"

Top hole. Bally Jerry pranged his kite right in the how's your father. Hairy blighter, dicky-birdied, feathered back on his Sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harper's and caught his can in the Bertie.

you gotta be kidding videodrome. i was just about to write both of those exactly. i was thinking in my head, "gee, when i finish reading this thread, i'm gonna post gnarly." and then a little further down i thought, "ooh, I'm gonna add rad also."


i like how your mind works :p.

yeah, i've been workin' on gnarly and rad for awhile now. i've definitely enlisted a handful of people along the way as well, against there will.
