Using SW quotes in real life conversation

[imitation700mb]

I occasionally used 'Drink your Coffee!' but I find LOTSW doesn't really do catchphrases like other comedies for some reason

Sometimes I say "Eat your food" in the same way as Edie's Drink your coffee.

Dozy beggar.

 

[WellyMan]

I've used the phrase "dozy twonk" a few times in my life.

 

[Sarkus]

I occasionally use a quote from the show, but then I normally have to explain where it came from as I'm in the US and most of the people around me have no idea about the show.

 

[Onslow]

I'm thinking about using Compo's "give over!" but not sure what it entirely means. Sounds sort of like "get out of here!" in the states as a form of exclamation/disbelief.

Are you thinking of gee-ore Onslow for 'give over '? The g is pronounced as G and not J. I 'ope tha knows what ahm trying to se ere.

There are a few Dwarfers on here and Lister uses " Get out of town" as an expression of disbelief and awe .

My favourite Compo expression and one that I have often used throughout my life is, when seeing a stranger approaching, "Hey up, who's this pillock?"

 

[Louise Lawrence]

the other quote I sometimes use is, "If at first you don't succeed, pack it in!"

 

[Barrychuckle]

Just realised Compo had a lot in common with Homer Simpson, his message was "You tried and you failed, the lesson is - never try!"

Well, if I used any of these lines from LOTSW, it would probably go over like a lead balloon.

But -- has anyone had a burst of nostalgia for anything they do on LOTSW?

Whenever Nora hangs up clothing on the line, I just want to jump through the screen. I can well remember those flapping clothes, sheets and towels; pulling the clothespins out of the clothespins bag; and occasionally on a brisk windy day, taking the wash down shortly after hanging it up.
