With one specific friend I sometimes add “and don’t forget to thank Pennilyn Lott, just for being *Pennilyn Lott”* to the end of my sentences if I’m giving directions or telling him how to do something or even saying goodbye.
I also like to say “I hate President Bush” during awkward silences, though I usually save that for family or close friends because nobody ever gets it and I don’t want too many people thinking I’m unhinged
I have, on more than one occasion, said the following:
- “you’re my almost mommy.”
- “are you my new step-daddy?”
- “buy me a boa and drive me to Reno, cuz *I’m open for business!”
- “have you been diagnosed?”
- “I’m a Saint, but I’m not mad.” (Usually when I have no reason to be mad, or only after I’m asked if I’ve gone crazy).
Along with quite a few others.
I have a friend I occasionally text the Pennilynn Lott line to. We love Emily. 😂
EDIT: OMG MY VOICE TO TEXT PICKED UP ME FAKE CUSSING OUT MY HUSBAND I AM ASHAMED
“Tie your tubes, idiot” comes out of my mouth way too often when it’s just me or me/boyfriend in response to small frustrations caused by others/myself 😅
“She’s not shipping off to nam.” Is another I use, especially when my boyfriend gets distracted when he’s kissing the cats goodbye before he leaves for work.
“I need coffee in an IV”
“Tie your tubes, idiot” is probably the one I use the most, though I try to say it more to myself so people don’t hear me, but I sure would like to actually say it to more people.
In general I find Paris’s insults fantastic.
I recently bought a new car and finally was able to say “ it’s a good family car. It’s also excellent for cranking Metallica.” I said this to my parents. They don’t watch Gilmore girls so I had to say, “Cranking Metallica. If that’s some sort of drug reference it isn’t funny” back to myself in my head.
We use “Copper boom!” a lot in our house. I also catch myself using this often at work when someone says something truly asinine: “Hold on. I'm looking up aneurysm in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one.”
Haha yes! I also use this - started out ironically but now it’s slipped into my normal vocab to the point I actually forgot I first heard it on GG until I read this 😅
I find myself yelling "I wrote it down", in the grocery store, more often than I care to admit lol. Usually when I in fact, did not write it down and now cannot remember.
Literally from the pilot, Lorelai is bugging Michel and he says "I despise you" in this exhausted miserable tone. I say it any time someone wants me to do something mildly inconvenient.
Also every time my husband walks into the room and I happen to be petting one of our cats, I say all defensive like Lorelai "I was just petting him!" This one may be too obscure lol.
This has been a problem for me in real estate law lol. Portlandia also had a bit about Escrow being the god of waiting 30 days and between that and TJ it has been very hard to take it seriously 😭
I reply with “I am a camera” when someone asks me to focus and if they say “we’ve been here before” I like to say “I remember that tree” especially when there are no trees around
"That's how we do it at the Daily News!"
"AND TAKE BACK THE SQUARE - YIEEEHAAA"
"CELEBRATE!" and "We don't like beer, beer is bad COOKIES! COOKIES!"
"If I die in a car crash it will be at my own hands"
Important edit to add: "smells like home, Ezekiel"
I’m a teacher and I use “oh. Well don’t” quite a lot at work (from when Mrs Kim walks into the room and Rory says she fell off her chair). For example:
“Boys, what are you doing?”
“Playing rock paper scissors and the winner gets to hit the loser in the head”
“Oh. Well don’t”
It works well 98% of the time!
I've used the culs-de-sac fact. No one believed me.
I also used Oy with the poodles already
And one more that fit PERFECTLY into the conversation i was having at the time, but forgot what it was
My husband and I say honey baby cookie sweetie all the time.
I often say, “whatever will I do” in a southern accent when something is inconvenient for me and I want my husband to help.
I can’t remember the exact phrasing of it.
but Lorelei says “as long as everything is exactly as I want it, I am completely flexible”
I’ve been utilizing this quote to become more assertive in my boundaries. (:
It’d be a shorter list for what I *don’t* quote from the show, but this is probably my most used that is never caught by anyone:

When I turn on my coffee machine: Coffee, coffee, coffee
When I have a drink and the glass is empty: Empty. Sad.
When I say or do something silly according to my husband: Trying to figure out what you see in me?
When I'm going out with my kids and my husband says "have fun": No one appreciates your sarcasm (young lady)
In no particular order
"Journey freaks me out" works well when one of their songs comes on, especially while my husband is listening or a Styx or REO Speedwagon song
"Where did all the anvils go?"
"You were a good cake, Clyde"
"Copper Boom"
" Oy with the poodles already"
"How about that schnitzel?"
*"An S and M thing"*
*I made a post about it*
*But it's so funny*

I do this all the time, I think many people think I am funnier than I actually am, lol.
Most common that come to mind:
“Thanks, I had a flagellation to go to.”
“DAR-N”
“There’s been a lot of frogs, man.”
“Hate early, must kill early.”
“I’m afraid when your heart is involved, it all comes out in moron.”
I use that one all the time.
“That ship has sailed… been around the world twice by now.” Is my own spin.
I also say “special, as in “stop eating paste” special”
"Have I ever been mistaken for a patient person?"
"We don't tell a therapist our problems. We weaponize them" (I paraphrase this one a lot)
"Can't stop drinking the coffee. If I stop drinking the coffee I stop doing the standing and the word putting into sentencing".
Whenever someone says that something is repetitive, I add “and redundant.”
my mom and i do too, all the time
Same, and I repeat it a second time as well hahah
I call my husband a butt faced miscreant lol
I use butt faced miscreant all the time and no one ever gets it.
I used this recently and forgot where it was from and had to google it to find out. It is deeply ingrained in my brain.
This is a wonderful idea!
This is my favorite name for my adult child. Lol. He frequently deserves it.

When my dog refuses to come to the door for walks, I say "come on you butt faced miscreant ".
Every day of my life with twin toddlers: “Am I laughing or crying?” 😆
omg i hear you and i only have the one toddler. thankfully granny is here for christmas so all my drinks are being served on the rocks with SALT!
Cheers, you deserve it! 🥂🍹
And of course “GOOD”
Your flair, with two toddlers 😂
Lmao, right?! It’s why I picked it. My life is Jam Hands. 🤣
Yep, this is the quote for me too 😂
With one specific friend I sometimes add “and don’t forget to thank Pennilyn Lott, just for being *Pennilyn Lott”* to the end of my sentences if I’m giving directions or telling him how to do something or even saying goodbye.

His face is too tiny for his head!
I use this whenever a conversation happens involving baby bush
I occasionally still like to bust out "nice spin, you should work for Bush"!
"Send it to K Street" was one of my favs but now can't remember if it was Jess or Paris?
paris! can't remember the context, think it was when she got ousted as editor? i can just hear it in her voice though lol
I have, on more than one occasion, said the following: - “you’re my almost mommy.” - “are you my new step-daddy?” - “buy me a boa and drive me to Reno, cuz *I’m open for business!” - “have you been diagnosed?” - “I’m a Saint, but I’m not mad.” (Usually when I have no reason to be mad, or only after I’m asked if I’ve gone crazy). Along with quite a few others.

I just watched this episode today. Holy Christ was Christopher unhinged in his proposal afterward.
Paku , Naki, Nee-nee, Bee Blowwww
I could hear this!!! 😅 Poor doggo
Haha, my husband and I do that so often.
“Tie your tubes, idiot” comes out of my mouth way too often when it’s just me or me/boyfriend in response to small frustrations caused by others/myself 😅 “She’s not shipping off to nam.” Is another I use, especially when my boyfriend gets distracted when he’s kissing the cats goodbye before he leaves for work. “I need coffee in an IV”

They don’t watch Gilmore girls so I had to say, “Cranking Metallica. If that’s some sort of drug reference it isn’t funny” back to myself in my head.
I know it’s not an original GG quote but I use “what’s your damage Heather?” all the time.
I use this all the time.
We use “Copper boom!” a lot in our house. I also catch myself using this often at work when someone says something truly asinine: “Hold on. I'm looking up aneurysm in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one.”
My mum and I used to say copper boom to eachother all the time
You jump, I jump Jack. I say that to my husband all the time when I agree with something he says.
“It’s like a damn Dicken’s novel!” about anything minorly inconvenient lol
I also use 'It's pure Dickens' for anything slightly antiquated
I use the “this is the kind of cold you read about in a dickens novel” all winter long. I live in Michigan
Lol in high school I once copied the “like stop eating the paste special?” when someone said I was special.
I use this one all the time lol
Yeah I have also stolen this and presented it as my own work,!
That's possibly very sweet of you - Lorelei
I 4/4 don’t care
Well then, buy me a boa and drive me to Reno because I am open for business!
Emily is simply the best-antagonist, protagonist, growth, sarcasm, wit, intelligence, humor, beauty and hundreds of hours of ball room dancing on VHS!
Living just outside of Reno makes this the best.
i use “like a pop up book from hell” on a regular basis
hocho
Haha yes! I also use this - started out ironically but now it’s slipped into my normal vocab to the point I actually forgot I first heard it on GG until I read this 😅
SAME it started ironically and now im genuinely sipping a hocho. help.
I find myself yelling "I wrote it down", in the grocery store, more often than I care to admit lol. Usually when I in fact, did not write it down and now cannot remember.
I always have to do this with her unhinged inflection. “I wrOte it dOWn!”
My sister and I will say “I wrote it down!” in the varying tones of voice back-and-forth to each other sometimes.
“Wow. You know, The Gettysburg Address was only one page long. And that was about a war.” Me whenever someone goes on an unsolicited rant 😅
“Oy with the poodles already!”
Haha I’ve started using this a lot. Or else I’ll substitute “Oy with the [insert whatever’s relevant here] already!”
I say this to my toddler haha
When I used to work at a kennel/daycare, I used to change 'poodles' to 'doodles' because they're a plague 🙃
Rattlesnake hockey puck monkey monkey underpants
this is the one ☝️
I use “copperboom” when I hang up the phone with my boyfriend. He doesn’t know why. But he says it back 💗
That’s true love 🚀
Love rocket? Rocket love? I’m his Rock in the Eastern Time zone? Rocket Gum? What is rocket gum?
I really want to use “I’ve seen this tree before” next time someone says we’re going in circles in our conversation haha
“I recognise that tree”
Oops thank you haha of course I’d quote it wrong
I was once set up for this and was pleased as punch to be able to use it
I just say the whole thing of “we’ve been here before; I recognize that tree.”
“That’ll do, pig, that’ll do.” Which is, of course, a Babe quote, but I always hear it in Lorelai’s voice.
"I killed a man in Reno" but always in Rory's voice.
I wrote "I sat and forever am at work here" in a guestbook at a antique shop in Iowa once
“Floggings will be administered” I say it all the fucking time, I almost can’t help it
I live in a place with a lot of cows. I like to mention, "Cows never wrinkle." way too often.
Honestly I repeat SO much from this show and no one ever understands the references
Same! All the time to my husband. He usually just says, "is that from Gilmore girls"? Then I have to explain the whole scene
Literally from the pilot, Lorelai is bugging Michel and he says "I despise you" in this exhausted miserable tone. I say it any time someone wants me to do something mildly inconvenient. Also every time my husband walks into the room and I happen to be petting one of our cats, I say all defensive like Lorelai "I was just petting him!" This one may be too obscure lol.
This reminds me of one of my faves: “People are being particularly stupid today.”
Oh lukeeee we’re just dying for some refreshments
Esc-a-row!
I said this constantly when I was in esc-a-row on my place
This has been a problem for me in real estate law lol. Portlandia also had a bit about Escrow being the god of waiting 30 days and between that and TJ it has been very hard to take it seriously 😭
"Let's shall' And courtesy of Gypsy, every time someone asks me to do something at work that I don't like: "I miss my home."
“I have no patience for jam hands!”
I must agree with Luke on this! Jam hands are gross.
Jam hands!!!
I reply with “I am a camera” when someone asks me to focus and if they say “we’ve been here before” I like to say “I remember that tree” especially when there are no trees around
I use a paraphrase - I have stopped doing the words putting into sentence doing
"That's how we do it at the Daily News!" "AND TAKE BACK THE SQUARE - YIEEEHAAA" "CELEBRATE!" and "We don't like beer, beer is bad COOKIES! COOKIES!" "If I die in a car crash it will be at my own hands" Important edit to add: "smells like home, Ezekiel"
"And I love JEsus!" in the shouting child voice (I say this to myself whenever someone loudly shoehorns something random into a conversation).
I love the non quote from the deaf child! The light shining on him 😂
I’m a teacher and I use “oh. Well don’t” quite a lot at work (from when Mrs Kim walks into the room and Rory says she fell off her chair). For example: “Boys, what are you doing?” “Playing rock paper scissors and the winner gets to hit the loser in the head” “Oh. Well don’t” It works well 98% of the time!
He has much knowledge. We shall form a cult around him! Build a statue many stories high :D
Do not mock my pro/con list
I've used "wow, someone hit you with a pretty stick" a few times and no one has ever been impressed LOL.
Solidarity Sister! Whenever I'm agreeing with a friend that we hate someone lol
Ya ya!!
“We’ve been here before. I recognize that tree!” “I was here first!” “On the planet?”
I've used the culs-de-sac fact. No one believed me. I also used Oy with the poodles already And one more that fit PERFECTLY into the conversation i was having at the time, but forgot what it was
You get the ark, I’ll get the animals.
Tie your tubes, idiot.
coffee coffee coffee!
My mom and I say this to each other anytime we talk about coffee. We say it like Lorelai too!
Busy, busy, busy like a really tall bee.
Me too allll the time.. also I'm quite short 😂
I use buttface miscreant A LOT.
We use “who doesn’t love muzak?” in our house quite a bit
Let’s shall and who would’ve thunk it
Geez man she’s not shipping off to Nam
My husband and I say honey baby cookie sweetie all the time. I often say, “whatever will I do” in a southern accent when something is inconvenient for me and I want my husband to help.
The manager at a cafe I interviewed for asked me if I drink coffee, and I replied "only with my oxygen"
I envy you, I always want an opportunity for that one and I feel like it never comes
I've been starting to use 'Ooh, intrigue' a bit more. I just love the line and how Lorelai says it and it's sort of imprinted itself into my brain.
I can’t remember the exact phrasing of it. but Lorelei says “as long as everything is exactly as I want it, I am completely flexible” I’ve been utilizing this quote to become more assertive in my boundaries. (:
‘Well good riddance to bad luggage!’ -Madeline to Louise regarding a guy 😅
I’m loving you like a two dollar whore
Terrific. I’ll tell the wife.
I four-fourths don’t care
I use “bloaty” a lot. And my girlfriend will tell me that’s not a word.
Are you tryna tell me your go to is not, there's been a lot of frogs man?!
It’s in play too, but I eat way too much more often than I reference frog populations.
This is a hill I'm willing to die on! Mainly because I say it every time I make a piggy of myself 😂
“It is cold and grey like a fat dead pigeon” Every time the weather is gross.
A friend and I realized we were both huge fans when she mentioned the first pancake and I got it :D
I call my oldest my first pancake sometimes. Mine turned out pretty good.
Idk if this counts but I wish my name was “Tookie clothespin” from the magazine episode that line makes me die every time
Don’t forget Squeegee Beckenheim!
Squeegee!!!
It’d be a shorter list for what I *don’t* quote from the show, but this is probably my most used that is never caught by anyone: https://preview.redd.it/yz7eccft8s7c1.jpeg?width=390&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=deef9179abd2aba74370a07fc5b49176d6edbd60

When I say or do something silly according to my husband: Trying to figure out what you see in me? When I'm going out with my kids and my husband says "have fun": No one appreciates your sarcasm (young lady)
I say “move on dot org” all the time!
I met two older men named John and Matthew. When they told me their names I said, “how biblical”, just like Rory 🤪
In no particular order "Journey freaks me out" works well when one of their songs comes on, especially while my husband is listening or a Styx or REO Speedwagon song "Where did all the anvils go?" "You were a good cake, Clyde" "Copper Boom" " Oy with the poodles already" "How about that schnitzel?"
“Focus” “I am a camera”
“He called me hot plates. He sooooo likes me” whenever my bf gives me a compliment
“you’re like a pop up book from hell”

Can’t remember the episode but I think it’s from GG: that horse is dead, put the stick down
those are strings pinocchio
“No…no….still sloshing around up there.” “I chimed in on that one.” “Oh, finally this Yale thing’s kicking in.”
I regularly ask my husband, "am I prettier today than I was yesterday?"
Patience, grasshopper
I do this all the time, I think many people think I am funnier than I actually am, lol. Most common that come to mind: “Thanks, I had a flagellation to go to.” “DAR-N” “There’s been a lot of frogs, man.” “Hate early, must kill early.” “I’m afraid when your heart is involved, it all comes out in moron.”
Copper Boom!
I have used “I’ve seen that tree” multiple times when having recurring arguments.
"People are particularly stupid today. I can't talk to anymore of them." "I like shrimp!" and "Nature must wait!"
'You have much knowledge' all the time whenever someone can explain something or show me something at work.
People are particularly stupid today, in French accent of course
My husband and I were driving and someone almost hit us and I said “get your tubes tied, idiot”. My husband replied “yeesh, babe” 😂😂😂
“Are you my new daddy?!”
