Today my beautiful, amazing friend, Lisa, brought me back to 1996 with a simple phrase that nearly made my head reel with it's potent flashback-edness. I've decided to collect a few of these phrases/quotes that take me back 10 or 20 years (god, how scary. 20 years?!). I'll keep adding to the list as I think of them.
- You rock! (A quote from Tina in high school)
- T.R. (Another thing Tina liked to say - T.R. = Thief River)
- Beyond: is that, like, Spanish or something? (Katie misheard Lisa during lunch in school one day, and sent Lisa and I into fits of laughter and relentless teasing)
- M.J. Chicken Legs (Katie's love for Michael Jackson and her comparison of her legs to a chickens made this another relentless harassment)
- Chicka-pow-wow (Jessica anytime love or romance or sex came up)
- My monkey wrote my paper...He said "Eek, Eek." I got an F. (Jessica quoting a comedian or something - she is much more funny than the comedian!)
- Big Tits Magee (What Fabian would call me when he wanted to make me angry)
- Tilly dirl (Another Fabian saying. Tilly dirl = silly girl)
- Electric Blue Eyes (Thor and I singing the Cranberries at the top of our lungs one summer)
- Chitty-chitty-Bang-BAAAAAAANNNNNNGGGGGG! (Jessica - just because we both love Ace Ventura)
- We're lost! >followed by evil laughter< (En route bowling with Adeline and her older siblings. Adeline thought the driver was serious and she cried.)
- Smacker dacker (Trents nickname for Thor and the way his arms flopped when he rode horse.)
- Can I pee in your ****? (Another Fabian jab)
- Cutie (What Fabian always called me)
- It's hot in these rhinos. (My favorite quote of all time. From Ace Ventura)
- Pooper dingy (Trent's nickname for Pepper. Don't know where that one came from but it makes me laugh at it's absurdity.)
- In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight! (When I was really young, dad would sing this song in the barn when he was milking cows.)
- Mama Sita (A Becky saying)
- Heidi Mae 003 (Mr. Bishop called me this in a high school math class. It stuck.)
- SAFE! (Mr. Bishop shouted this out when I tripped while running laps in phy-ed - I fell on my stomach and slide what seemed to be 10 feet with my arms outstretched.)
- Big Bopper (A nickname for Doug)
- Ada (A cow we had that was really mean - always reminds me of a friend of mom's)
- Tuna (A nickname for Tina that she hated)
- You shook me all night long! (Jess & I would sing and dance to this song all those nights of college partying)
- Maybe your girl and my friend can trade; tag team, off the ropes! On the ocean or in the boat! Factories or on hundred spokes! What about up in the candy sto' - that chocolate chocolate make it melt... (Jess and I would blare this song while getting for a long night of partying and trouble-making.)
EDIT:
- Nipples the size of dinner plates. (A conversation between mom and I that Thor accidently heard. I think we traumatized him.)
- They're still nice! (Comment from Chris)
- I suck at this game. (Chris)
