I love Ab Fab, and me and my friends rewatch episodes constantly, and consequently a lot of lines from the show have entered our day to day speech, some of these include:

"OH GOD I'M BORED" from Poor (while cutting off someones story)

"This is the one, THIS IS THE ONE PATS, THIS IS THE ONE" from France (when choosing something)

"For youuuuuuu" from Magazine (offering someone something in a stupid voice)

"Health health health darling!" from Fashion (when hungover and pretending not to be)

"Is it a bee?" from Small Opening (when someones phone goes off)

"Would you like to follow me into my gracious drawing room" from Hospital (when leading someone somewhere)

"I want total sensory deprivation and back-up drugs" from Hospital (when planning a night out)

"I'm not happy" from various (when, surprisingly, not happy)

"Hallellujah! Praise the Lord! Let's speak in tongues, bleblebleblebleblebeeeee" from Last Shout (when being dramatically happy)

Please tell me that me and my friends aren't the only ones who do this? hahaha there are many more other quotes we use but my mind is blank. Ab Fab quotes get me through life.

I have actually had to day: 'you only work in a shop you know, you can drop the attitude.' at a shop worker who was very uppity.

whenever i am playing the build alot games and you have to upgrade a house and sell it to make more money: mark it up and sell it on! markem up and sellem on!

No, no, no, mate. I don't even get out of bed and piss for that kinda money

OH THANK YOU GOD! THANK YOU SO BLOODY MUCH!!! Basil Fawlty

I used the "you only work in a shop you know, you can drop the attitude" line too! The look on the snooty workers face was priceless :D

Whenever my sister talks about things that have happened in the past or something from childhood I always come out with "God, what was it in your day? Woman shows ankle to chimney sweep shock?"

I think I quote Ab Fab virtually every day.

When I'm going for a shower or a bath and collecting my products I use:
"Wash and go, sand paper exfoliant, celluloid breakdown, term and perm, auto-bronzer and birch twigs....shall I have soap? naaaah'

I also use Patsy's line a lot from 'Hospital':
"Not me sweetie, my lips are sealed" and mime that I'm zipping my lips closed, then I open them back up again and go "Oh yeah", usually I use this when we are having a b1tching session at work.

My friends and I always also reinact the 'Death' episode opening scene when we are in a club, especially Eddie when she does what we call 'the pointy dance'. Some people must think we are insane. Then we always quote the dialogue 'Do you want some ecstasy eddie?' / 'are you mad darling, no one's taking that any more, people are dragged from raves, bleeding from every orafice',/ 'yeah but this isn't a rave, it's a happening'.

And because I live near Holland Park (it is on my tube line) sometimes when we go through it I'll say 'Holland Park, Holland Park, and not the outskirts, not the edge, this is the rich heartland of Holland Park right here'.

Re-watching it after a gap it's quite scary how many words and phrases I use, and must have picked up. Bollocky is one, have we tried this one, the all time though 'inside of me there is a thin person just desperate to get out,' the list is endless. Great thread by the way.

When he said Mr Leeman was dead i thought he said he's still in bed

Awesome post and no, you're not alone!

I know there's more but off the top of my head, my friend and I will pinch each other if we're irritated with one another and then say, "Wasps, dahling." I would like to actually burn him with my cigarette and go full-on Patsy, but I restrain myself. ;)

No one uses, "What the bloody, buggery is that?"
or "Bloody hell!" or "Bollocks!"

"Cheers thanks a lot." is one and the other is from the first episode:

"Oh my buggery bollocks. Why the bloody hell didn't you tell me earlier?"
