One of the committee folks I work with regularly is a nun, so we often address her as Sister. She sent me a very nice email today, and I replied with some well-deserved compliments for her. One of the phrases used in my email was, "You run a good call, Sister." This made me laugh out loud. It's totally Ashley.
Do you ever hear terms or phrases and think to yourself, I should really start saying that! What a charmer! Ashley's "sister" is one of them. "Malarkey" is another (to replace sh__, if I can be quick enough to catch myself.) I should really write them down as I think of them or hear them, as they're so easy to forget.
And of course, there are the phrases I'm trying to eliminate from my own vernacular due to overuse.
-Let's be honest, ....
-I apologize if I've told you this already, but.... (gah!)
-Talk to you later. Have a good night. (at the end of phone convo. Really? MUST I end every call the same way? I am my mother.)
There are more (clearly), and every time they escape my lips, I want to pinch myself out of annoyance. Quit it!
