Just wondering...who started saying this, because I caught myself saying it at work today and people looked at me funny. Arrrgh...I read too much PLEBA!!! Tried to say "blarg" the other day too but it just doesn't have the same effect in person as in print!!

So...who says Oh My Dad?

Maybe we should turn it into a game...how well do you know the fellow PLEBA members??
 
Proud member of the Oh My Dad Club!

I think this a lot in real life along with feck, lol, and jk

DAR (my roommate): I think the people upstairs are moving furniture again...

HIPPY: double-u, tee, effe question mark

Hey- I've been meaning to ask: Mona got that from SNL right? Will Ferrell? Hilariousness.

I think so.....The Great Frog Society....It was on the same show as U2 and Val Kilmer.
 
Hahaaa yeah! Just checking, thanks for verifying. End communication.

I figured it was Mona, but wanted to make sure! Seeing as I have a knack for flipping to Comedy Central right at the end of SNL (have twice done this with the U2 show) as everyone is saying goodnight, I missed the skit it came from.

Oh yes, I find myself saying "feck" instead of fuck, wankers, and "em" instead of um. All thanks to this forum. I work with kids, so saying "Oh my dad" might have to become a regular thing for me...it sounds nicer.

Me too Jenn. I say "Feckin" all day long. My family and friends think that I am wacko!! I also say "Shite"!!!
 
I say feck and shite too.

Sicy- in the skit, Will Ferrell was playing Jesus, and he had just discovered Heaven's rock and roll band or something. He said something like "I saw them perform and I was like 'Oh...my...dad." I'm sure I screwed up the first part of that quote, but whatever.

I remember that now!!! *lmao*

I am guilty of saying "em" at work and while I am leaving voicemails. LOL! I almost sent an email that just said "FOAD" to a coworker on Monday because he sent me a very rude email *bastard*. I have yet to use "Oh My Dad". I do know if I am watching my swearing around people (which is very rare) I say "Cheese and Rice" instead of "JesusChrist".

LMAO!!!! FOAD...have you seen the signature?

I think "FOAD, Lawrence. Just FOAD" at least 20 times a day! At people not even named Lawrence!

feck, shite, wanker, wanking, bloody hell, em...all a part of my vocabulary.

punk rock has become poonk rock, monkey has become mun-keh (wild honey!).

even my non-U2 obsessed husband has picked up a few words. it's hopeless, they've even invaded our vocabularys!

That's my new vocabulary too! I also added Oh my drool!, blargh!, recockulous, FOAD, and ermm... I've now called myself "Foading Machine". This because I always say that to my co-worker next to me. I say FOAD you!!!
and he says "eat shit and die". {Because he already knows I what FOAD means, guess who told him

LOL @ Oh my dad. I don't use that one but I'm sure it'll pop up sometime in the near future now I've read this thread
wink.gif


Does anyone else have a habit of quoting songs in the middle of conversation? See I do this all the time now...I get bored too easily so if I'm stuck in an uninteresting conversation I see how long I can get away with only speaking in lyrics before they figure out what I'm doing. Anyone else?

All the time. I don't ever say that it is a nice day, I do however tell people that "it's a Beautiful Day, and they shouldn't let it get away"!!
 
I've always used terms like bloody hell, shite, bollocks, bloody-buggery-bollocks, & wanker since I was pretty young (too much BBC)... and being from Alabama, NOBODY gets it! When I came back from school in Dublin, I was in the habit of saying "cheers" instead of thanks & I got the strangest looks.

I do find myself saying, "Oh my Bono!"
biggrin.gif


hippy~ I LOVE Cheese Rice... to eat, I mean.

LOL...I studied in the US last year and I quickly found out that even if people threw a fit when I fuck or damn etc, nobody had a clue what wanker or bugger meant so I could say those as often as I felt like it. It was a wonderful discovery for me
wink.gif


Oh, and I say cheers all the time. But it's actually not unusual where I live so I'm not sure why I'm mentioning it.
 
Oo!! A whole thread for a Mona-ism!

*intrigue*

OK Basically I first became aware of it when I heard a teacher at my school say "O...MY...DAD." And I was like "WHHAAAAT???!" I thought it was the fruitiest thing. Then he said it was what Jesus says on SNL. *eyebrow*

Then LITERALLY the same week I saw that episode. It was the one with U2! *rapture*

These dead musicians put together a band in heaven called The Great Frog Society. It was Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Keith Moon, Louis Armstrong, and I think one other person, but I don't remember who. And Jim went out with Amelia Earhart! lol!

Anyway it was set up like a "Behind the Music" episode on VH1, and they interviewed Jesus! They asked Jesus about the Great Frog Society, and said something like "When I first heard these guys...I was like...O...MY....DAD."

then Jim Morrison was reincarnated as a little girl
biggrin.gif
ROFL

And then I started saying it, and Julie started saying it, and now all my friends say it. It's pretty funny. At lunch something (or someone, in my case) will fall or something, and the whole table goes "O MY DAD!!!"

The End

I was reintroduced to the "waxed wind" yesterday and I have been posting it all over the place! *laughs hysterically* Can anyone tell that I'm back at school and very sleep deprived at this point in time?

And peace signs are my thing...I wear one around my neck that never leaves and will never leave...it's not just a symbol, it's a life philosophy! Peace!

I think you'll find the Irish have been using the term for a long time, dearie.
That's why I said I stole some from U2.....
