Catch Phrases Are TIGHT!

We've all used a catch phrase once or twice. Rad. Cool. Tight. T!ts. Maybe we've even created our own. Nivey. Catch phrases unite us, especially those that are universally known and accepted. Or, perhaps, catch phrases are used almost like a password or code. In the latter instance, if you're part of the group, you know  the history of the catch phrase, its creator, and its uses, the exact time of its conception.  What are your favorite catch phrases? Which ones just missed being part of everyone's vocabulary? Now, I want to resurrect a catch phrase and propose a catch phrase call-to-arms. This phrase can be used in a number of ways, similar to t!ts: as an exclamation--T!ts, as an adjective preceding the noun it describes--Sean has some t!ts thongs, as a predicate adjective--Sean's thongs are t!ts, and as an adverb--Sean's thongs are t!ts tight. This catch phrase was created by one of our fellow bloggers--I'll let her reveal herself if she so chooses--and lay dormant for more than a decade. The phrase is Bruce Hurst. In a curious juxtaposition, one could use the phrase as follows: The Yankees are Bruce Hurst. I challenge readers to a catch phrase contest. How many times can you fit Bruce Hurst into your day? And remember you guys are Bruce Hurst cool and don't you ever forget it.

Heat and I thought of a few St. George-isms, although many surely have their origins elsewhere. This is a shortlist.

Also, I think Thomas Judd is the Bruce Hurst of candy store owners.

Properly spelled w00t, it was Merriam Webster's word of the year for 2007.

Isn't that like bragging about your apendix?

I'm a sucker for a catch phrase and will use it until someone gives me the look to never use it again. If you all remember Mugs, he had some contagious catch phrases that sounded better coming from him than me. Here are some examples:

Down with the clown
Dirty Jersey
Bit face
Recognize
Shi* faced

And to add to Sunny's list:

Roast
