People Share Their Mom's Classic Catchphrase, And We're Taking Notes

Oh mom, at it again. We grew up hearing these things on a daily basis. And only once or twice did we want to rip our own skins off!


u/franc_the_bikesexual asked:

What is your mom's catch phrase?

Here were some of the snappy answers.

65 MPH

English is my mom's second language, so instead of saying "It's my way or the highway" my mom says "My way is the highway."

This Is Not A Democracy

Flouncing in from whatever excursion she was just on

"Any calls from my fan club?"

My brother and I are fist fighting to the death and tattling on one another

"Hit him back" (while casually flipping the page in her tabloid trash mag)

Something is unfair, children tell her they think so

"Thanks for sharing your opinion. I don't care."

F*cking love my mom.

"Are you drinking enough water?"

Headache? Drink more water. Upset stomach? Drink water. Bad grades? You need more water. Bone protruding from your knee? Drink some water, you'll be fine.

Multiple Choice

She runs through each of the kids' names before she gets to the one she actually wants to call.

"Ti-Jaa- Sarah!"

Recourse

"Finesse, not force"

I have to admit over the years it's helped me step back and take a breath before I end up breaking something to sh*t in frustration.

You Tried It

Giphy

"Big boy at night, big boy in the morning"

Would be said when I was trying to skip church by sleeping in after I had been out prowling late the night before.

Nugs

Here are a few nuggets:

"You gotta plan your work and work your plan!" - she watches too much Dr Phil I think

"I'll slap them into next Tuesday!" - anytime someone gives her flack

"I had to give up smoking and drinking for four months while pregnant with you!" She's never smoked and doesn't really drink :)

And finally, for nostalgia... Everytime she would take me out shopping when I was young, we'd get back in the car to drive home and she'd look at me and exclaim, "We did good, bubby!"

ButWhatDoesItAllMean

Work For What You Deserve

She has so many, and I dunno why this is the one that comes up first in my mind, but she always says "if you can't open it, you don't deserve it." This phrase (which sounds a bit more whimsical in the original Serbian) goes for everything from bags of chips to those plastic packages school supplies come in. She shows no mercy when something's really hard to unwrap or pry apart.

I have subsequently gotten very good at opening hard-to-open things, and am now the go-to pickle jar guy.

Strange Correlation

Giphy

When something bad happens to me, she'll always try to correlate it to something unrelated.

e.g "You're sick? Probably because you spend so much time on your phone."

e.g "You scored badly for your tests? That's god showing you that you haven't been faithful to your parents."

I could go on but you get the drift.

Beaten By The Search

When looking for something mom told us to find, and we either legitimately couldn't find it, or we were being lazy: "If I find it, I'm going to beat you with it."

We had a good childhood, though.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Roasted After Viewers Notice Awkward Detail In His 'Morning Routine' Video

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
