Once, when I was a kid, the Queen came to Canada (well, more than once, but I’m thinking of a specific visit lol), and it was on TV all the time, and everytime she talked she’d start with, “Prince Philip and I…”

And my brother and I started saying that all the time, in a specific weird high pitched voice, with a British accent, and we’d drag out the “I” unnecessarily… like, if I was going to say, “I’m going to ride my bike” I’d be like, “Prince Philip and IIIIIII… am going to ride my bike.”

It was a short lived thing, but still, to this day, I cannot hear “Prince Philip” and not have the urge to say it 🤣🤣

Omg i love this, it makes me think of the time my mother in law, who was looking for any excuse to label me as disabled to collect a check, looked at me one day and said “I think you have jaundice.”

My then boyfriend and his younger brother both lost their minds over it while I just sat at the dinner table confused. Sure, im always pale but, jaundiced?? This woman used to be a registered nurse!

Anyway, from that point on, the younger brother at random, anytime the in-law said something dumb (which was often) would reply with “Kero I think you have JAUNDICE.”

The entire phrase was spoken mockingly but the emphasis on the word ‘jaundice’ always had so much venom and rasp to it. It became a household meme, and to this day, some 10 years later, I have an impulsive laugh whenever I hear the term 'jaundice’ and MUST reply with that phrase.

…. its led to a few awkward explanations.

It’s funny the random things that become catchphrases for no reason lol

A few years ago, I went to Florida with my friends, and we went to Universal, and we were waiting in line for a ride and there was a mother and child behind us, and the kid was getting more and more nervous as we got closer to the front, and he was giving all these random reasons they should get out of the line… they also happened to be British, and when we were almost to the front, the kid suddenly tells his mom he has to poop and if they go on the ride, he’ll poop his pants. The mom was like, “I asked you before we got in line if you needed the bathroom and you said no” and the kids goes, “I didn’t have to go then, but I have to go now. It’s how the body works!” But he said the last part so emphatically, in this British accent, and it was all I could do to not burst out laughing… I think they got out of the line (I can’t remember), but my friends and I still always say, “it’s how the body works!” In a British accent 🤣

I have a little collection of phrases I’ve picked up like that… I almost forget that they aren’t real expressions until I say it around someone who doesn’t get the reference and I’m like… oh yeah… I’m just continuously mocking a kid I saw once 🤣🤣

When my parents were driving me up to college after summer break, for my last year, we stopped at a Friendly’s for lunch. Mom started in on me about my post-school career plans. Rather desperate to change the subject, I looked at the little dish of individually-packaged jams and said, “Oh look! Apple butter! Mom, didn’t Great-Aunt Marjorie used to make really good apple butter?”

I thought it was a smooth conversational transition. It was not.

Both my parents burst out laughing, and now “Oh look! Apple butter!” is code for “let’s change the subject” in my family.
