Phrases I've Never Uttered

  • “That looks delicious, but no thank you.”
  • “Beer? No, I’m cutting back.”
  • “No, I wouldn’t care for a taste. I just enjoy watching you eat that sundae.”
  • “Can you bring me a half-portion?”
  • “Let’s say we not order a pizza.”
  • “More bread? I couldn’t.”
  • “We’d better not; you know I can’t control myself at Mexican restaurants.”
  • “Buffet? Boo!”
  • “That’s too high in sodium for me.”
  • “That salad could be a meal in itself. As a matter of fact…”
  • “No, thanks. I don’t eat at the movies.”
  • “More cottage cheese, please.”
  • “Nah, that’s not on my diet.”
  • “Donut? Uh uh…no way.”
  • “Y’know, boiled okra is just as good as fried okra.”
  • “I can’t finish this.”
  • “Do you have anything besides chips and dip?”
  • “That’s a little too rich for me.”
  • “Sure, I’d love another rice cake.”
  • “No chocolate for me, thanks.”
  • “Do you have sugar-free maple syrup?”

  2. I had a college room mate who would say "I'm just too tired to eat." Yeah, right. . .

  3. To be successful on this journey I think you have to FORCE yourself to utter a few of those lines from time to time. Yeah unfortunately, I am guilty of the "more cottage cheese please" when I should have stopped at one serving. haha

    Great post-clever as always! :)

  4. We all know I didn't say this one at all over the weekend...

    “Donut? Uh uh…no way.”

  5. Boiled okra really is better than fried, honest!

  6. I confess: I have actually started uttering these phrases more frequently.

    And I like boiled okra.

  7. I knew you were sh*tting us, Jack.

    And if everyone said one of your lines, I'd be out of business. I don't think there's any need to worry though. ;)

  8. Not to sound like a goody two shoes, but I've actually said some of these in the last 317 days. Never before that though, I promise!

    Very true.

    my best

  9. How about, "No thanks, you have the last piece of cake?"

    I've been saying some of that stuff myself. even though it hurts...so good that is.

  10. Dearest Jack, you have inspired us to create a list of our own. Check us out at 2wwkittehs.blogspot.com and add some of your wit to our list.

    Purrrrty please,

    ReplyDelete
  12. Another great list Mr. Sh*t. I wanted to tell you that I took one of your lists to my weight group last night and I ( or rather YOU ) were the hit of the meeting. They were rolling!

    Keep me laughing...

  14. Today I went wild and declined carrot and chocolate cake. All in the same breath. The angels sang.

    ReplyDelete
  15. LOL! Umm, yes. I do very much agree. And my family nickname is "Bread", as if you couldn't guess why.

  16. I have never said, "I'd love another rice cake." I've never said I'd love the first rice cake.

    Although, I admit I have said a number of the others.

  17. I said nearly all of these in the month of july, it has been an awfully loooong month full of birthdays, people must be really bored in October.
    And, I love celery, with cheez whiz. ;P

  18. I've never said, "Gee those brussel sprouts are delicious!"

    ReplyDelete
  19. As a child, I didn't know you could eat okra any other way than fried. The first time I tried it boiled I thought it was a sick joke.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I've actually said quite a few of those!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'll never understand the people that say, "I get so busy that I forget to eat!"
    How could one forget about food??

    ReplyDelete
  22. OH NO, I have said A LOT of those... does that make me bad or weird? Very funny post & I am sure we can all relate!

    ReplyDelete
  23. You seriously should do something with your "aweswomeness" to make some money! I wish I could say the check's in mail. You deserve one!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I second the sentiments of F.McButter Pants -- get paid for your wit and wisdom !!

    I am new to your blog + blogging myself but earlier today whilst at work I *printed* out lots of your blog entries to (a) amuse me (b) inspire me (c) give me some interesting reading material.

    Your blog is ACE !!!

  25. I've said a lot of those, but never the rice cake one. Blech.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love rice cakes... I always ask for another...

    mm..mmmm.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Why would you even consider boiling okra? Yuck! Fried or pickled is the only way I'll eat it.

    ReplyDelete
  28. You are so funny. lol Thanks for the laugh! :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oooh, I have actually said a fair number of those. Through gritted teeth and clenched fists.
    And in defense of rice cakes, as we eat a lot of them, some of them are pretty good. Depending on the flavor and brand!

    ReplyDelete
  30. That post was too rich for me....

    (Really that's the one that always gets to me. Why would you order cheese cake take a bite and then declare it "too rich" isn't that the point?)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Loved this list. I use about 1/2 of it regularly, but quite a few of the others will likely never be heard from these lips. :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. I have asked for more cottage cheese, but no to the boiled okra. No. No. no.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Whoa... I've said 12 of those things. What does that mean????

    ReplyDelete
  34. Chicks say this stuff all the time... but, hey, SOMEone had to eat the stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  35. hilarious and I am in the same club.I do admit to being very partial to rice cakes though,,,,,,,,

    ReplyDelete
  36. I do utter these phrases pretty frequently but you can keep your snotty boiled okra. Thanks. I asked my husband to split a meal with me a week or so ago. He always wants to and then caves in the face of hunger. It was WAAAYYY too much and he regretted it. People! This is like ALWAYS having a 50% off coupon!! Okay. I'll stop with the "People" routine and go look in the mirror now. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
