We have two:

1) "Fuckin' A, Bubba!" "Fucking' A, Bubba!" t high-five

2) "You're a little farm girl." "You're a cigarette."

#1 is where Em's nickname "Bubba" comes from.

Or, I could put x in a box with Hil's advisor and shut the lid.

I vote for this. t /not helping

The Boy keeps trying to get me to use the name, but if I tried, I would just laugh and laugh, which I feel ruins the whole badass effect.

Channel the laughing into an evil, knowing, sexy chuckle.

If anyone can do that, you can, Teppy.

Ha! I'm a horrible top, in terms of demeanor. We switch, and I dig it, but I'm SO not a badass. The Boy (who, when topping, is The Girl) is...awe-inspiring.

Daniel occasionally looks at me and says, "Magnets!" Which has the power to make me snerk in the middle of the most foul mood.

Another in-joke that is in our circle of Michigan friends: "The fastest land animal on earth is the Ethiopian chicken."

1) "Fuckin' A, Bubba!" "Fucking' A, Bubba!"

Humm. "Bubba" is doll/baby in Hebrew.

Hubby and I have several in-jokes derived from multilingual puns.

1) "Burros" for thank you, from Danke to donkeys to burros. There's also Burro Knees, from Danke shoen (sp?), to donkey shins, to burro knees.

2) "blue nose?" for Are you ready?, from Ready, to red eye, to blue nose.

3) "going to Germany" for "finding a way to do something completely inadvisable", from a British show called QED we saw many, many years ago, a precursor to Myth Busters, where they couldn't get permission to drive a car around a giant Van Der Graff generator to test if you're safe in a car in a lightning storm. Then the announcer said, "So we went to Germany." Hubby and I will use variants of the phrase in conversation.

I have no significant other, but I do have a brother, and we will frequently randomly bust out with a reference to some videogame we played over ten years ago. (For instance, when we were in Pensacola last year, we kept saying, "Are you from Americola?" And when I saw him last month we started making Streets of Rage 2 references for no apparent reason. The wonderful thing is we never have to explain ourselves. We always understand each other because we're on the same wavelength.)

With amyth, well, I have a ton but the one that comes to mind is: "You doan peel no taters, you doan get no tea!" It's also now office policy for certain things.

With KBD: "WUUUUHHHHAAAAAT?!?!?" with a rising intonation.

With sis: "Yogahotties" as a greeting.

With brother: "Rutabega!" (said on the inhale)

With parents: "Caring weird" instead of "hearing impaired"

Some friends of mine use "peeling potatoes" to refer to masturbation. It started when a friend of theirs was confused by the masturbation scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High - she asked, "Is he peeling potatoes?"
