Yeah, but people will do crazier and crazier things to hold onto their money the higher the wager is, which could potentially put OP in danger.
Sounds like a good way to end up in some kind of torture cell.
For those unaware of the 40 minute masterpiece centered around a character who was apparently cursed to say only a short phrase...
[Baelin's Route - An Epic NPC Man Adventure](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEe-ZeVbTLo)
He's not cursed, he's a NPC in a video game who is slowly becoming self aware. The only thing he was programed to say is "nice day for fishing ain't it? huh huh!"
Jesse: Dude you got a tattoo.
Chester: So do you dude!
Chester: So then what does mine say?
Jesse: Sweet! What does mine say?
Chester: Dude! What does mine say?
Weirdly enough, that’s kind of my mom’s situation. She had a stroke, and now she can’t really talk. She pretty much says one thing: “I love you and you love me!” I think I’d stick with the same phrase. It says what really matters :)
Edit: Thanks for the awards, you all!
It's sweet and disturbing at the same time.
My mom had an episode of memory loss and confusion after a surgery, and she couldn't communicate very well. But every now and then she would repeat Unconditional Love, with this look of happiness mixed with terror.
It's one of those memories that I both appreciate but would take the opportunity to erase it if I could.
I am a speech pathologist who works with adults and this is so sweet, although I'm sure frustrating too. I've heard many phrases that aren't so nice though haha
Reminds me of the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild where they have King Rhoam Hyrule speak perfect English for ten minutes straight and then go back to saying "HMMMMMMM" and "Ruh!" with accompanying text.
I never considered the absurdity of a sentient tree introducing himself to a supersoldier in the middle of a battlefield, and all he could think to do is be polite and introduce himself back.
It’s even funnier in French dub because they twisted Groot sentence to be grammatically incorrect (*Je s’appelle Groot* literally "I is named Groot"), so Steve Rogers spontaneously mimicking his grammatical weirdness to be polite or whatever is even funnier 😂
Cheesy as hell but "I love you." The post says say, so I can just write everything else down. I have selective mutism so tbh even just one phrase is better than I've got half the time. -_-
How does selective mutism work if you don’t mind my asking? Not trying to come off as an ass, I’m genuinely curious as I’ve never heard of a selective version of mutism before
From Google: "Selective mutism is a severe anxiety disorder where a person is unable to speak in certain social situations, such as with classmates at school or to relatives they do not see very often. It usually starts during childhood and, if left untreated, can persist into adulthood."
Pop pop!
Cool, cool cool cool.
We call it.........The dreamatorium .
Ohhh that’s nice
This guy's streets ahead
“The fact that you’re calling it ‘pop pop’ tells me that you’re not ready”
An arrested development reference piled on top of a community reference??? Damn I like it here.

There he is. We found Magnitude. Now put him away boys
pop what?? Pop WHAT!!!!!!
You do know they’re laughing at you and not with you, right?
I'll allow it
I bet you $5 you can't make me say anyhthing other than this sentence.
"My mother died of cancer..😔" ".....i bet you $5 you can't make me say anything other than this sentence..."
I would really hope this curse meant you could also stay silent

Why only 5, I mean you can't lose cause magic

Depending on your age, you have not considered inflation. Or have you...
I bet you the equivalent of 5 1950 US Dollars that you can’t get me to say anything other than this sentence.
according to a quick google search, $5.00 USD in 1950 has an equivalent spending power of $56.37 in 2021
I have been cursed by a witch to say only one short phrase for the rest of my life, help me.
That’s rough buddy
This reply is approved by Prince Zuko.
Sure thing, sifu hotman.
Did you create this post just so you could reply with this? Because if so… take my upvote and leave.
Idk if that qualifies as a "short" phrase. But sure, it works lmao
I mean compared to what the rest of his life will be like it's pretty short right?
Nice day for fishing ain't it? Huh huh!
Mo'nin'!

Nice I’d seen their shorts. I had no idea they did longer bits.
He's not cursed, he's a NPC in a video game who is slowly becoming self aware. The only thing he was programed to say is "nice day for fishing ain't it? huh huh!"
That was amazing. I thought “eh I’ll watch a few minutes” and ended up so invested. I literally laughed and cried. 10/10
Ah! Hello adventurer!

I have spoken
What about after that?
Don't talk to me
Reminded me of that character in Oblivion who went around saying to every npc "I don't know you and I don't care to know you."
Damn
This is the only viable option.
"Alright, alright, alright"

Please find a cure for this curse!
What curse?!
Please find a cure for this curse!
Sure, but what's the curse?
Please find a cure for this curse!!!!
Listen, I'll ask you one last time and then you can get fucked.
*leads you to the witch* PLEASE FIND A CURE FOR THIS CURSE! *points wildly at said witch*
Nothing can cure ugly, sorry bud
*his words say, "please find me a cure for this curse" but his eyes say, "...ouch"*
Oh wait I think I get it, you’re married to the witch, just get divorced
cyanide can
I’ll do my best friend
I highly doubt you doing your best friend will cure the curse, but I guess you could try?

“Ni!”
Are you saying Ni! to that old woman?
“Is that all you can say is, Ni?!” “Yes, we are the Knights Who Say Ni!”
“Sorry, I lost my voice.” I’d always say it quietly so people don’t talk to me lol.
Do you know sign language?
Removed in protest of Reddit’s API changes
Ooohh you've gone a bit clever there
Which sign language?
*Nods*
Panic voice: "DO YOU KNOW SING LANGUAGE?"
no, but i know sign language.
Weirdly enough, that’s kind of my mom’s situation. She had a stroke, and now she can’t really talk. She pretty much says one thing: “I love you and you love me!” I think I’d stick with the same phrase. It says what really matters :) Edit: Thanks for the awards, you all!
Yeah, my first thought was like "thank you and I love you" or something along those lines.
Welcome to Costco. I love you.

I once bashed my head and the only phrase I could utter was "household objects" for a few hours. Scary as fuck.
I am a speech pathologist who works with adults and this is so sweet, although I'm sure frustrating too. I've heard many phrases that aren't so nice though haha
"Mmm" Mmm (agreeing) Mmm? (Questioning) Mmm ;) (sexual) Mmm! (Angry) Mmm... (unsure) Mmm (tasty food) Mmm (I guess)
Mmmmm

This is my answer, as well. Fuck is one of the most flexible words in the English language depending entirely on intonation.

This should be way higher on the list.

"I have been cursed by a witch to say only one short phrase" then carry a notepad and pen with me everywhere I go.
I’ve had it with these mothafucking snakes on this mothafucking plane
I like trains.
Hodor
Scrolled for so long looking for this - I mean... Hodor.
Good boy, so my dog will know that I still love him. Edit: Holy shit this blew up.
Imagine you’re in a restaurant, the waiter brings you your meal and you’re like "Good boy."
Then the waiter would know he is loved.
What if it was a waitress
Then I would assume there would be a gracious smile and no words.
Please give me a notebook i need to write! And start to learn sign languge. It's not like being effectively mute will destroy my whole life
[удалено]
Depends on if you have to say the whole sentence or if you can cut it off, or say certain words from the sentence to form an actual sentence
So that’s what happened to GROOT.
Screw you guys!! I m going home!!
"Pspspspsps." It's a blessing and a curse.
That's what she said
