Wrestling speak you wished you could jab into a conversation

As above. I've always wanted to say "hit the bricks", which was popular in the mid-90s. Another is "if your feeling froggy - JUMP!", but both of these lines would make you sound like a complete tosser in real life. But if you could guarentee you would come across looking like Jack The Biscuit after saying it, what line would you like to get into a real life argument or conversation? Another one is "you stinking hyena".

Not entirely related, but I managed to get the baddie in our local panto this year to use a few Bobby Heenan putdowns.

 

Anyway, I'd love to be able to greet people by saying "hey yo" like Scott Hall and receive anything other than quizzical expressions in return.

I'm liking this thread idea.

 

I have occasionally in the past answered the phone to friends with a 'hey yo'. I also regularly 'wooo!' when I'm out and rather enjoying myself. The ladies fucking love it!

 

I often refer to people with some sort of nickname in a Sawyeresque manner too. 'Hoss' being a common one.

 

I'm pretty much the coolest fucker on the planet.

 

I might try and get 'pimpin ain't easy!' to stick next, or just things that rhyme with pimpin like that great story in 'Foley is Good'.

 

That or 'get the tables!'.

"Mark" as in scam victim is indeed a term used in real life situations, but to "mark out" is completely different. I have used "mark out" at length in front of my non-wrestling mates, and I've heard them use it too.

 

I have also made reference to a mate that turned heel, and everyone seems to know wha I'm on about. Either that or they're just humouring me.

Not really words but, doing the Scott Hall/nWo finger point thing has always stuck with me as looking like the coolest thing ever but doing it in real life makes you look like a spaz. Also the Scott Hall scared fingers is another.

 

I guess the ultimate is randomly doing a "WOOO" followed by a strut.
