Catchphrase

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

A catchphrase (or catch-phrase) is a phrase or expression recognized by its repeated utterance. Such phrases often originate in popular culture and in the arts, and typically spread through a variety of mass media (such as literature and publishing, motion pictures, television and radio), as well as word of mouth. Some become the de facto "trademark" or "signature" of the person or character with whom they originated, and can be instrumental in the typecasting (beneficially or otherwise) of a particular actor.

Here is a list of popular catchphrases: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_catchphrases

Do you have a favorite catchphrase? Do you have one yourself?

If "damnit" fails then "%#$(*)}+{!" works.

Two newer ones that I have taken a liking to, but don't use because I usually say things in my own way, are:

"How hard can it be?" -Top Gear UK

and

"Failure is always an option." -Mythbusters

Lol, me and my babe say that all the time to each other. or just "Mostly... mostly" whenever we are talking about something.
