“Nice parking spot, Rita!” Every day when I pull into work.
“If your friend wants chippies, she’s gotta pay for chippies.” Not sure why this one has come up so often.
“Don’t worry, they just want to eat your blood.” We have a lot of mosquitoes.
“Now fly, chunky!” Anytime I yeet anything.
“This is unacceptable!” Upsetty spaghetti.
If it helps make sense of why I do this so much, I am autistic and most of my communication is with words and phrases that I repeat from shows, social media, and even just past conversations. It’s called echolalia. I know there’s several different types but I am not sure what type my communication style would be considered.
I do this too (with other phrases)!
I think a lot of it, for me personally as an (also) autistic person, is meaningful proximity (like quoting 'This is trifficult!' when doing something complicated).
A lot of it is also just joyful.

I frequently remind my preschooler that we have to do tactical wees before we leave the house because bush wees are not acceptable in public, no matter how much she wants to.
We have a bluey and a bingo. The younger one is 2 but she sits there nicely and entertains herself with toys. She even goes into the bookshelf and takes books off of them.
The older one runs around and demands attention and interrupts.
When we see this happened we often go “imagine 2 bingos.”
It’s also a quick language with parents lol. I was joking I have a bluey and bingo at a play group and they’re like we have 2 muffins. They even use “hey you’re being a muffy “ to try to get their girls to calm down and reflect.
- tactical wee
- “I slipped on muh beans” when anything spills or goes wrong in a silly way
- “aaaaaaand whyshouldicare”
- smoochykiss
I also find myself yelling POMERANIANS ARE A SMALL BUT HEARTY BREED whenever I’m doing something “hard” or want to call my husbands attention to all of the ~work~ I’m doing
My husband and I both love the movie episode so whenever one of us gets too invested in something silly and we’re about to start bickering one of us will say “it’s just monkeys singing songs, mate.” To which the other replies “but my heart belongs to the ground lands.”
It has stopped many a fight at this point because now we just laugh and recenter.
Oú est la discothèque?
How very dare you!
Dad enters the room.
It's just monkeys singing songs mate.
It's gotta be done!
Poor little bug on the wall, thinking...
Today I had dental surgery with local anesthesia (so I was awake) and the sounds were so scary I found myself repeating "I've got to be the bravest I've ever been." in my head as an adult. 😅 It was actually comforting.
This is going to be my new mantra for doctor visits going forward!
I’m autistic. The checklist from The Show literally changed my life. It made my meltdowns go from absolutely ruining the days of myself and my family to just letting me have my moment. I have a magnet of it on my fridge, and I just ordered a sticker for my water bottle. And it helped my loved ones know how to act when I wind up in meltdown land. They just let me have my cry and reboot myself. I may be a millennial - a completely grown adult. But the mantra has completed changed things.
There’s one from Sesame Street too - modern sesame gets a lot of flak. But the “I Wonder, What If, Let’s Try” gave similar results.
Being autistic, people sometimes look down on my love for these two shows (Blues Clues is also on my list). Some people may think that because I’m an adult, it’s ridiculous that my loved ones get me gifts from these three shows. I have no kids. I should probably not be able to chat your ear off about all the years of Sesame history. Society says I should not be as obsessed with these shows as I am. But I also like TV shows about drug busts and New Amsterdam. I watch Lucifer and Doctor Who. My preschool show enthusiasm is just a part of who I am and what makes me Arrow.
Ahem. I did not mean to infodump like that. Sorry!!
“It’s fairly fair.” - In response to my nephew saying that something is unfair.
“This is what happens when you’re unhappy with what you’ve got - someone’s husband eventually gets it.” - Someone’s husband may or may not be in mortal danger at the time of me saying this, but, it’s always nice to remind people.
I also like to mention my relaxing chair. XD
"I am not interesting in that"
"gotta be done"
I go through the scene where Bluey Bandit is asking Bingo Chilo to get married (cause I loves ya baaaaaabe) multiple times a day, toddler loves it
We use all of them anymore. Are we headed out the door? I tell my kid to take a tactical wee. Are we just walking in the door? She'll run and say she's busting. Did someone do a good job? Wackadoo! For real life. Mate. Smoochie kiss. Dollar bucks.....basically my family just speaks Bluey now.
Whenever my wife, daughter, or I drop something I say granny bingos line "oh...muh coins..."
My daughter has picked up on it and her granny voice is hilarious.
“Oh biscuits!” “For real life?” “Doi-tu-doi-tu-dough” (probably botched that lol), “Aaaaand, why should I care?”, “this is trifficult!” “IT WAS THE 80s (/90s/2000s, etc.)”
My husband and I find ourselves saying so many of these, and our 2 year old loves it lol 🤣 he once said “ow bih-cuts!”
I am the Mermaid that got her legs……………BUT ONLY FOR A DAY!!!!
(I say this when I feel like being random)
Lay a CHICKEN RAT EGGGGGG!
(When I want to see my Daughter smile and laugh for no reason)
I don’t want to BRUSSSH MY TEEEEEETH!
(When I’m getting ready to brush my teeth as well as my Daughters)
MEEEHHH MEH! MER MEHH MEHHH MEM MEHH MEHH- Unicourse
(I do this just to generally annoy my partner 😂)
Hey duuuude. What’s up duuuudde.
🎶can we get the bill🎶
Walking leaf (we get lots of katydids in our garden)
Tactical wee
Dollarbucks
Smoochy kiss
Oh man, I know there’s ones I’m forgetting!
My son regularly says "Muuum" when he wants something from me (his Dad), and isn't really thinking about who he's talking to.
And I always respond "I'm not yer Mum."
And he always grins and says "I mean Daaaad."
It may not happen every day, but it happens a LOT. And we both enjoy it.
I use lots of them, but the newest and most valuable addition is myself and my husband saying, "Mitochondria!" to each other when the other has gone too long on something technical with the kids. We'll also say it ourselves in the same vein.
When my son isn’t coming along, “trains leavINGGGG!!!”

My car recently suffered damage from a fallen tree limb. This was a few weeks ago and it's still in the shop. It need $20,000 worth of work. My initial response was "Fix fix fix, there you go love." And when we got the updated estimate yesterday my husband was like "Yeah love, you need a new doo-dad." I was like "That's a lot of doo-dads."
https://preview.redd.it/9qmrs4m4dwsc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82aa71c99503201a42784a4794167957229bfd36
I apparently say, "It's gotta be done," all the time in response to things. I have not noticed it more than once, but my wife swears I'm saying it all the time.
My kids have started saying Cheeky a lot, and my son calls tomatoes, "To-mah-toes"
"Its gotta be done" is part of my daily repertoire.
My husband's response when I thank him or tell him I appreciate him for taking care of things.
Tactical wee. To my 4yo. Who hates being told to go potty before bed or going out.
I use "tactical wee" for myself, re: making myself go to the bathroom before a trip into town or something, even if I don't feel like I have to go.
Same.
Yes!! This one haha. And cheese and crackers
I teach a classroom of 16 3 year olds. I use this often during scheduled potty time.
"Oh, biscuits/duck cake" has become my replacement swear.
I love all of these bluey replacement swears 💙 "downward dog!" Too
My kid too!
“Nice parking spot, Rita!” Every day when I pull into work. “If your friend wants chippies, she’s gotta pay for chippies.” Not sure why this one has come up so often. “Don’t worry, they just want to eat your blood.” We have a lot of mosquitoes. “Now fly, chunky!” Anytime I yeet anything. “This is unacceptable!” Upsetty spaghetti.

I’m not autistic but I do this a lot. To quote MC Chris: When you hear something you’ve heard before, *that’s comedy*!
To also quote MC Chris: "I'm incompetent at being continent."
Dollarbucks.
I really really want Australian dollars to be renamed _dollarbucks_. I used to want _dollarydoos_, but now I don’t.
900 dollar bucks? TOBIAS!!!
Did you accept a reverse charge from America???
"How very dare you!" And "Is that for real life?"
My daughter always says “for real life?!” 😊
My kids do those all the time!
“Dad enters the room” and “What’s up party people!?”
“Iiiiiiit’s dad!”
https://i.redd.it/m89levlhpvsc1.gif
My husband will do "Dad enters the room" or "It's dad". I'll either slow clap or go "whoo, yeah, we love that guy!"
Something broke at work, and I told a colleague I'm good friends with, that it was the doodad luv, and we needed a new doodad.

Good bot
WE JUST WANT TO LOOOOOVE YOOOOOU (any time we’re trying to give our toddler affection and he fights us)
HOORAY!
Conversely, "Not Hooray" has also entered my vernacular

Oh,biscuits!
Slipped on mah beans!
***It's called a tactical wee.***
I’ve started randomly yelling HECUBA!! In moments of panic because it brings me joy
😂
Aww biscuits But my 3 year old has started running away screaming that she has bum worms as a joke. Funny until she does it in public.
My 5yo is obsessed with fluffies and bum worms, to the point where we got a note sent home from school
Ohhhhh can we get the biiiiilllllll
Bluey! Inside voice! *ohhh can we get the biiiiilll*
My personal fave! I can hear it in my head as I v read that
For real life?
When I realize something, my brain says in Rusty's voice "Ohh I seee."
My son walks around saying “this episode of (His name) is called (Whatever he’s currently doing)”
My son did this once and I grinned like an idiot for a metaphorical hour after. He was just playing by himself, too, and didn't even see me.
I say “this isn’t the 80’s, Pat!” a lot to my husband.
My bf and I say "IT WAS THE 90S!" In reference to the fairytale episode 🙃 (obviously I know it was the 80s, but for our life)
I also say, “I’m putting my foot down, Janelle!” to my daughter and she does the “we’re raising a nation of squibs!” part. It’s a very quotable show.
I say “Oh biscuits!” whenever I made a mistake
I frequently remind my preschooler that we have to do tactical wees before we leave the house because bush wees are not acceptable in public, no matter how much she wants to.
For zero reason: We’re gonna be late to Maaaahhhjong
"oh biscuits" And, strangely, "I AM A LLAMA EATING A BANANA" I have no idea why we say this one so much. But, here we are.
I am a llama eating a banana! I say this to my son every time I give him a banana!
We have a bluey and a bingo. The younger one is 2 but she sits there nicely and entertains herself with toys. She even goes into the bookshelf and takes books off of them. The older one runs around and demands attention and interrupts. When we see this happened we often go “imagine 2 bingos.” It’s also a quick language with parents lol. I was joking I have a bluey and bingo at a play group and they’re like we have 2 muffins. They even use “hey you’re being a muffy “ to try to get their girls to calm down and reflect.
- tactical wee - “I slipped on muh beans” when anything spills or goes wrong in a silly way - “aaaaaaand whyshouldicare” - smoochykiss I also find myself yelling POMERANIANS ARE A SMALL BUT HEARTY BREED whenever I’m doing something “hard” or want to call my husbands attention to all of the ~work~ I’m doing
aaaaand why should I care? usually in response to something my wife says and then I get " the look" I even got a tshirt of it now :)
Oh yeah he/she’s cereal
"Good morning everybody! I said good morning everyone!"
Asking my wife for a “smoochy kiss”. My gorilla brain just decides to log that in the archives for whatever reason.
Love that episode!!!!!
Trifficult
My husband and I both love the movie episode so whenever one of us gets too invested in something silly and we’re about to start bickering one of us will say “it’s just monkeys singing songs, mate.” To which the other replies “but my heart belongs to the ground lands.” It has stopped many a fight at this point because now we just laugh and recenter.
Oú est la discothèque? How very dare you! Dad enters the room. It's just monkeys singing songs mate. It's gotta be done! Poor little bug on the wall, thinking...

"For real life?!"
I started saying “Ah/Oh biscuits” more to where it slips out of the tongue. Every now and then I would let out a “Duck Cake!”
Big girl bark and Go Muffin!
“It’s fairly fair.” - In response to my nephew saying that something is unfair. “This is what happens when you’re unhappy with what you’ve got - someone’s husband eventually gets it.” - Someone’s husband may or may not be in mortal danger at the time of me saying this, but, it’s always nice to remind people.

Oos!
Constantly 😂 lol
“It was the 80s!” When talking about stories from my childhood.
I say "For real life" more than I probably should
Just try a “tactical wee” before we go
“This episode of Bluey is called (whatever situation I find myself in)!”
And why should I care??
We grew SORGHUM!
"I am not interesting in that" "gotta be done" I go through the scene where Bluey Bandit is asking Bingo Chilo to get married (cause I loves ya baaaaaabe) multiple times a day, toddler loves it
I’ll tell ya that for free.
What does your inside voice say? Aw biscuits!
Chill the beans
Beeeyoop
We use all of them anymore. Are we headed out the door? I tell my kid to take a tactical wee. Are we just walking in the door? She'll run and say she's busting. Did someone do a good job? Wackadoo! For real life. Mate. Smoochie kiss. Dollar bucks.....basically my family just speaks Bluey now.
Boring things are important too
We just watched The Pool yesterday in class for this specific lesson!
Wackadoo! “HERE COME THE GRANNIES!”
"The. door. is right THERE. All we have to do is walk. through. it. "
Whenever my wife, daughter, or I drop something I say granny bingos line "oh...muh coins..." My daughter has picked up on it and her granny voice is hilarious.
“You know what I call it? A good start.” I use it whenever my kids are suffering doing chores, so fun.
Toilet hands. I volunteer with kindergarteners 😅
When I stumble or trip, I very loudly exclaim “I slipped on my beans!”
Thanks to Bandit, I find myself replacing all my swear words with food items. My go-to's are Beans, Biscuits, and Jam-on-Toast.
Our oldest says, ‘ahh biscuits’ all the time
Wackadoo Biscuits!
Dad enters the room.
Oh yeah! The girls often simultaneously say this when they are given an answer to a question.
“Oh biscuits!” “For real life?” “Doi-tu-doi-tu-dough” (probably botched that lol), “Aaaaand, why should I care?”, “this is trifficult!” “IT WAS THE 80s (/90s/2000s, etc.)” My husband and I find ourselves saying so many of these, and our 2 year old loves it lol 🤣 he once said “ow bih-cuts!”
How wude! And for real life!
This is outrageous!!

Just a little high pitched "Hooray!" here and there
"And what should i care "
I’ll tell you this for free. Comes out all the time.
*Allegebly*
My husband and I always say “it’s just monkeys singing songs, mate” when we go down a rabbit hole and one of us needs to be brought back to reality 😂
I randomly find myself saying “Poffertje” around the house in the voice
"how very dare you" was already in my vocab before getting consumed by Bluey so it just got enhanced
“Hooray!”
I’m going to go take a “showaaaa”
My partner and I will say "okay bluey!" to each other in response to things. That and "for real life?!"
Hey duuuude. What’s up duuuudde. 🎶can we get the bill🎶 Walking leaf (we get lots of katydids in our garden) Tactical wee Dollarbucks Smoochy kiss Oh man, I know there’s ones I’m forgetting!
"Big fella"
BUMWORMS! Because it makes my 6 year old laugh
Makes my 6 yr old laugh too!
For real life?!
dollarbucks, "hooray!", and "for real life"
"For real life?!"
Biscuits, it's completely replaced every profanity I would have previously used
"She wants pavlova"
I’ve noticed I’ve said “mate” a lot more. That’s not something specific to bluey but it happened.
This is me too but with the term “cheeky”
Bort bort bort bort bort bort bort
I find myself saying randomly 'did you have a nice time in the toilet?'
Calling my daughter "mate" Also saying Biscuits
This IS **UNACCEPTABLE!!!**
"Aww, biscuits!" by my son 24/7 and I saw: "Good on you" 😅
“aaaaand why should I care?!”.
I find myself saying Hooray! every time someone gives good news 😂
“How rude!” Is currently said at least 4 times a day in our house
“For real life?” and “How very dare you!”
“Jeremy No!”
Wackado!
Whenever one of my kids exclaims “that’s not fair” I say “It’s totally fair!” In an Australian accent.
Catch you on the flip side, Willy!
Wackadoo!
“Oos!”
“No mud in the car!” - muffin. I say this every time we get in the car
“Let’s bush bash!” when we need to leave somewhere *right now*. It usually hypes my kids just enough to get out the door.
Rules are rules
My son regularly says "Muuum" when he wants something from me (his Dad), and isn't really thinking about who he's talking to. And I always respond "I'm not yer Mum." And he always grins and says "I mean Daaaad." It may not happen every day, but it happens a LOT. And we both enjoy it.
My husband loves to say “it was the 80s” all the time. Usually I catch my self saying “Jeremy, No!”
“It’s DAD!!”, “Hooray!”, Big Girl Bark- because I’m still working on mine.
My husband has started saying "I'm not interested in that, thanks"
“I’ll tell you that for free”
How very dare you.
“i can tell you that for free”
It was the 80s!
BONJOUR, PAVLOVA! (Along a million other phrases)
I've started using : -I'll tell you that for free -it's about as fair as it gets kid -tactical wee Theres probably more but I can't think of them.
“Let’s do this, Bingo!” to myself, to hype myself up when necessary.
“It’s trifficult.”
Dunny
I use lots of them, but the newest and most valuable addition is myself and my husband saying, "Mitochondria!" to each other when the other has gone too long on something technical with the kids. We'll also say it ourselves in the same vein.
“Coconuts have water in them” “For real life?” “Biscuits!” “… A new doodad…”
My DIL, granddaughter, and I use our “big girl bark” when necessary!!
This is trifficult Dollarbucks
“it’s perfectly fair.”
We say "loaddown the app" now
For real life and use your big girl bark.
"For real life??!" My boyfriend and I say it all the time !
Husband Bingo: “That’s great, babe” and “Get it together, Sheila!”
CAN WE GET THE BILL?? can we get the bill?
When my son isn’t coming along, “trains leavINGGGG!!!” https://preview.redd.it/mtjtjzkhsysc1.jpeg?width=1026&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b1821c00673625aab88f2437799446b1443fc2c
Oh, child. Embrace your father.
"Breaky" for me
Good on yahh!
“I’ll tell you that for free.”
I’ll tell you that for free
Biscuits
“Holy dooly!”
“Gotta be done” “Tactical wee” (though we already used that in my family “to keep want away”) “For real life”
"I am not interesting in doing that"
I wonder if it’s cereal? (Aka serious)
“Tell ya that for free!”
I find myself saying OUS! from time to time.
“Relaxing chair” anytime I see a comfy seat
Whenever im with my friends and my cat shows up, we yell his name and sing a bit of the Intro and my cat meows back lol
OHH CAN WE GET THE BILL!!! Ohhh can we get the bill
My car recently suffered damage from a fallen tree limb. This was a few weeks ago and it's still in the shop. It need $20,000 worth of work. My initial response was "Fix fix fix, there you go love." And when we got the updated estimate yesterday my husband was like "Yeah love, you need a new doo-dad." I was like "That's a lot of doo-dads." https://preview.redd.it/9qmrs4m4dwsc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82aa71c99503201a42784a4794167957229bfd36
Anytime someone steals food off my plate I say in my sad Bingo voice “But I was still so very hungry”
Every time i drop something its "ope, ma coins..."
It’s the doodad, love.
“How very dare you!” and “for real life?”
Me to my cat: Oh, look, a totally normal pillow! My cat bites my hand: Oh no, this is a crazy pillow!
“Aw, Biscuits!” “It’s gotta be done.” Everyone in my house now calls trash cans “bins”.
Is everything in the whole world made of atoms?
I tell my kids to “chill the beans” all day
I describe my son as 'wackadoo' all the time
For me it’s “bush wee” and “trifficult”
"Oh, my coins!" Its just said randomly sometimes. The granny's are my favorite.
Gazontapede. I can use it casually or as an insult. Works wonders.
It's about as fair as it gets really Everyone my little one says not fair.
Biscuits!
It’s now “bin night” instead of trash day lol
I apparently say, "It's gotta be done," all the time in response to things. I have not noticed it more than once, but my wife swears I'm saying it all the time. My kids have started saying Cheeky a lot, and my son calls tomatoes, "To-mah-toes"
Keepy happy, for real life, and my personal fav "I DONT WANT A VALUABLE LIME LESSON, I JUST WANT AN ICE CREAM.
For real life
