Buffyisms

dramagirl · Buffyisms

Apart from actually quoting buffy (which I would bet a lot of money that pretty much everyone on here has done quite a bit), I sometimes find that I use words/phrases/whatever that come from buffy and just creep into my everyday speech.

I'll give you an example: I sometimes put "of the" in front of adjectives. "Not good" becomes "not of the good". Yep, it's a Buffyism.

So, dig deep, you got any Buffyisms? I'll probably think of more with a bit of time... Smile

Oo Oo, me, me.
Not sure if these originated on Buffy but that's where I get them from. Like saying, I like liver? "Not so much"
Or "Jealous Much?"

DarthRosenberg

Oh, I do the "much" as well... "disgusting much", sometimes I even put the "much" after Hungarian adjectives... Smile

I will thinking about some more, because I'm sure I use more.

oh i have heaps, i am regularly plagiarising the humour of btvs and, to my delight, getting away with it as if I am actually funny!

i cant think of them all, mostly they're just me quoting the show in conversation.

my top ism would have to be 'very possibly', aka xander in the zeppo about what kind of car he drives. if i have no idea something i use this phrase, with a stupid grin.

i know there are a few more... will think on it some more

Here's one Ive found myself thinking or joking to someone before: "Love makes you do the wacky"

DarthRosenberg

And what about put "y" after words...?! Familiar? Smile

Ebdim9th

Ive noticed that everywhere, even in TV commercials, since the age of Joss dawned....

Yeah I stick 'y's on the end of words all the time now.

Whats your childhood trauma?

Etcetera much? (just about anything you can think of before the 'much')

dramagirl

Just thought of a great word: splainy (explain). Buffy uses it once and now I use it all the time.

And of course an immortal one: "It's of the good"... or "all willy-nilly"

I looked down below and saw ROFLMAO a proffesional board-posting service!! "Is your board new or dead? Our posters will bring it to life" Bwahahaahaahaahaaa!!!!!!

"xxxx, much" would be my most commonly used buffyism, I think. I seem to use a lot of them, though.

Ebdim9th

I always liked "What's your childhood trauma?!"

deaddisco

Great Merciful Zeus!

basically putting surplus 'the's in

Two recent buffism attempts on my part. One successful, one,,, not so much.
To another engineer at work: "It's like a good design,,, but not" He asked me to repeat what I said twice then just gave up. haha

To a group of people I've been working out with: two girls were the last ones left in an endurance test and everyone was cheering for them. I said "come on! put the Grrr in Girl" and everyone cracked up.

That being said; I have figured out that it's much better for everyone involved if I don't divulge when my wit comes from Buffy,,, much better.

"bitca?" (Xander trying to puzzle out what Willow said)
