Working Buffyisms Into Daily Conversation

[Kimm]

I've used "You have But- face" on someone who didn't particualarly get it or appreciate it....I've used " Buku to Mojo", and "Five by five". And of coarse "Bored now" is classic for any Buffy fan......

I've used "bored now" a bunch of times...

I also find myself saying "you have something face" or "you have but-face" ...but nobody else seems to get it. lol

The other day I was talking to my boyfriend and he asked me how my day was. I said "I am giddy and up!" (from Reptile Boy)

I try to work them in when I can

My two labradors regularly attack the kitchen bin when we go out - we have an elastic bungee tie around it now, but on days where we have forgotten, the whole house is a mess with rubbish and half chewed veg peelings everywhere. The last time this happened, I found myelf saying 'Uh-oh.... major trashage' so I am well aware of the 'age' isms!

I think of it as my duty to work at least one Buffy quote into daily conversation. And it makes for a far more interesting day! Yes, sometimes people just think you are plain weird, but that is compensated for by suddenly finding a fellow Buffy fan who recognises and responds accordingly. Then you are no longer the outsider freak, and belong in a little gang of your own - everyone else is the weirdo 😉

I used "I doodle. I do doodle. You too! You do doodle too!" the other day. And I tend to use "(word) much?" as in "morbid much?". And...in English, i explained "The hardest thing to do in this world...is to live in it" in my daily writing assignment. And I've DEFINATELY used "GOD! What's ur childhood trauma?!"

I was revelling in the prospect of the weekend only being a couple of hours away today, and as I walked past a packing line I started singing a song that went a little something like this:
Weekend's comin'
Weekend's comin'
For you *point at perplexed worker*
And you *point at amused worker*
And you *point at scowling supervisor*
So, the supervivor promptly enquired what drugs I'd been doing, to which I replied, "I have the proportionate excitability of a puppet my size! I'm a wee, little puppet man!" As the scowl turned to a worry frown I added, " I don't have cable, so I have to make my own fun."

Now I've got to look forward to a urine test, though...

 

[StuckinTraffic]

LMAOOO! Yeah....you're getting a urine test AND a trip with the men in white coats!

 

[Cohen]

Here's one I use:
"You know what, go crazy, do both!" -Cordy; "Disharmony"

 

[Xander]

Oh and I've used "Its officially nippy...so say my nips" many times, especially lately. Its been damn cold.

 

[Edmund Blackadder]

i have used

"Say! You all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?"

 

[Wesley_Wyndam_P]

the other night i used "could be exchanged for goods or services"

 

[Mesektet Ra]

I'm a stickler for saying, "What is your childhood TRAUMA?!" My friends actually consider it something that defines me.

Also, when something cool or incredibly funny happens, I go, "We should video that and show it every Christmas."

When my friends are being weird I tell them, "Your Earth logic does not resemble our Earth logic."

Also, one of the nicknames I gave my kitten is Miss Kitty Fantastico. And it must be said like Miss Kitty FanTASTICO. Lots of exuberence, and pep.

I also tend to add -age or -y at the end of words. I do it a lot here. BuffySpeak has become a part of who I am now. What can I say?

 

[Kali]

I have some random hobbies (quilting being one of them) and a friend visited and looked shocked that I can do practical and creative things with my hands.

I just found myself saying 'What, I'm not allowed to have layers?'

To say they looked at me strangely is an understatement 🙂

 

[eponinethen]

I also tend to add -age or -y at the end of words.

I do the putting an -y in the end of things thing all the time, my friends think I'm strange (or maybe they just thing I'm really bad at English, I'm not sure)..
Usually when I say quotes they just don't get what I'm trying to say though, so I kind of stopped doing that, hm..

 

[Angelic Slayer]

Here's all the ones I could come up with:

That was nifty

____-ness (lol I can't even tell you how many words I have for this one)

____-age

____-y

Hello to the imagery!

(word) much?

Smoochies

What's her/your/his deal?

This is the part that's less fun

It's funny how the Earth never opens up and swallows you when you want it to.

chocolatey goodness!

Note to self: (humorous comment)

You have a something face

SNOOPY DANCE! (not really a buffyism I know, but I use it a lot)

You're sweet, a TERRIBLE liar, but sweet


Like I said, I'm sure there's LOADS more, but that's what first came to mind. Buffy-lingo is like a part of my language now, I don't even notice when I use one of the phrases

 

[Lyri]

i've used 'i was making with the funny' a lot...mostly to people who don't get my jokes! lol!

and i use the nips one A LOT!! lol!! it's cold in Belfast!!

 

[Joamna]

Since I'm talking swedish almost all the time it's not very easy to work buffyisms in to the conversation, but I live with people from all over the world now and use english more frequently. And last week, I was going to the bathroom and someone told me to take it easy, and I replied: "I've got a system".

 

[Black Eye Guy]

It's funny how the Earth never opens up and swallows you when you want it to.

I use that, and although its not really a buffyism it introduced me to the word uber and I have stared using it allot, usually get asked what it mean after!

 

[drtroy]

Lol..yeah it comes without thinking...and everyone is usually like whaaat?
usually when someone is getting on my nerves...or just being taking forever to explain something I'll say "In 5 words or less." from when Buffy said that to spike and in turn he said "out..for..a..walk..b--ch."
