Remember when you were like thirteen and you were walking down the halls of your junior high and you saw two of your classmates sucking face next to one of their lockers and you heard someone yell, “Get a room!” and everyone started laughing, including yourself. But you were still pretty fresh-faced and naive and didn’t really know what “Get a room!” really meant or implied other than you got the drift that it meant that nobody wanted to watch so much PDA, especially before lunch. Then you would occasionally use the phrase when you saw similar scenarios and it always got a laugh, and you felt a little sheepish because you didn’t really exactly know the meaning until you were like seventeen and watching 90210 (even though you swore it was totally stupid) and then suddenly the lightbulb lit up and you were like, “Ooohhhhh. Got it.”
(I had a another similar experience with the phrase “hot and bothered” which I used as a synonym to “upset” and “angry” and “flabbergasted.” But, I digress…)
Anyway, I have a great new idea for a catch-phrase that somebody probably already thought up three years ago, but I swear, for me, this idea is original:
“Get a blog.”
To be used: When someone is rambling incessantly (especially about themselves).
Works best: After a roll of the eyes.
I’m planning on using it: During church.
Would also be fitting: On a T-shirt.
What do you think?
Love it!!
LOVE IT!!! WHY Wait the 11 long days to 2008…I’m spreading it NOW!
(ThankgoodnessImOnTheBloggin’SideOfIt!)
i LOVE it! although, it’s probably most corretly used when directed at ME. but i do like the idea of stanging up and bellowing it on the 1st sunday of the month. i have some particular folks in mind…
“Get A Blog” I love it – i’ll start circulating it for you.
Sign me up for the first order of T-shirts. I love it!
I, along with the others, love it. T-shirts is a good idea. I have some people in mind I’d like to say this to right now.
I refuse to say I love it, simply because everyone else has already said that and I want to seem original, but, um, yeah. Brill.
You are a mega genius.
And Merry Christmas.
So funny. I think I will use when talking about others. “She really needs to get a blog.” Merry Christmas!
Bound to catch on. And we were there to witness it.
I love it! The perfect mixture of humor and truth.
