scrub-isms you use in real life


this boards kinda dead these days which is understandable but in an attempt to revitalise it a bit i wondered if anyone else finds themselves using phrases from the show in real life?

for example i still can't help but say 'eeeeeaaaaaagggggllllleeeeeee' when i spin my nephew around in the air. anyone got any others?

Brinner is used quite often in my house and so is Blunkle. I used to call my best friend girls names all the time, but that has slowed.

When my son mentioned he met a girl that likes "Scrubs" as much as we do, I said "You marry her! You marry her right now! You marry her!"

reply

haha! that's class. i have been known to say 'big who cares' when a particularly dull story is being shares

Definitely still refer to "brinner" so often. Drop a few "hooch is crazy" lines every now and then. Some others I can't think of right now.

On a more serious note, I still like to think to think about two of Kelso's quotes from time to time: "Nothing in life worth having comes easy," and "Who the hell cares what anybody else thinks? Just look into your heart and do what makes you happy."

I'll use Dr. Cox's "Ya KNOW..." or "The thing IS..." on my wife before giving her a smart-azzed answer.

I've said "I just have the one dream over and over. I hold his head under the water until that last bubble goes... bloop" quite a few times about a boss of mine.

Another one I'll use is, "What has two thumbs and doesn't care?"

My favorite is that I can walk upstairs and stand at the door and I can tell if my wife or kids are going to be coming downstairs. I wait until they open the door and say, "Heeyyyyy baby brother." and scare the cr*p out of them.

i've just realised my use of 'giant who cares' is a dr cox-ism as well

'it never occurred to me that skin could determine identity'

I also use Turk's line when my wife says how I was nice or such, "I was just trying to get in to your delicates."

I had another great opportunity, again with my son (I guess because he's the only other superfan I know):

I had been trying to learn crocheting and he asked me how it was going. I told him not well because my hand was cramping up. He said maybe I was low on potassium. When I didn't respond he said, "I was doing Scrubs". I said "Season 1 Episode 7 My Superego. Don't ever question me on the Scrubs!"

I'm just glad he picked on of my favorite episodes to reference, or I might had to have made up an episode!

I've been told I look like Mandy Moore, so whenever my one friend tried to tell a funny story I always cut him off, with a straight face, and say

"That's so funny" oh that's soo funny" but I never crack a smile.

Damn I miss that show!

reply

I say 'yahtzee' a lot the way JD says it.

Once in awhile when someone does something aggravating, I'll say: "You see(whoever I am speaking to), you see? You see what you get when you mess with the warrior?!"

Whenever I make toast I imagine I have a dictaphone and say "I like toast"
