How often do you find yourself using Prince phrases and not even realizing it?

Now, this obviously hardly applies 2 those of U who wreyete leyeke this. I can only imagine that your day is full of princisms. No offense, but, uh, damn.

Anyhow, to the regular people out there - are there Princisms that you've added to your daily chitterchat, and occasionally recognize it?

Honestly. Yesterday, I was driving down the street in lovely ATL and saw me a Supa-Fine-Heffa!, sang it out loud, and then spent 5 minutes trying to figure out where I picked up that phrase. (Cindy C. yeah, you already know that).

!LMMFAO!



Hoo boy... catching my breath... Ahem.




Yeah, I occasionally holler, "Hundalasiliah" when an inexplicable fit of excitement takes hold of me.

And at work (I run a computer lab for kids and teens) I take great delight in saying, "Sorry baby, that's the rules!" when I have to play enforcer. It takes a hell of a lot of restraint, though, to not follow up with "I pay the rent in this raggedy muthafucka!!"

I once asked Sweeny to make me a new avatar that was slightly erotic but not so over the top it wouldn't be approved. My exact words were "something sexy but not dirty...." As I spoke I realized what I was saying and decided to finish it with....well you know the rest!

I wanna see that!!!

MaquisVixen said:

DAMN. I say that too. Totally forgot about that.

And yeah, I skip the "I pay the rent" line, and go right to the "and all you do is suck up food and heat. say what? oh yeah."

I use "three fine" all the time.

Further, when ANYONE says to me, "Question." I always immediately blurt out "Does anybody know about the quake?" to confused looks!

Its funny what we appropriate for our own pesonal lingo. I'm sure I have some Prince-isms in there. 3-fine among them but I can't think of any others right now.

I also do Mola Ram from Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom when people argue with me- "You don't believe me? You will Doctor Jones, you will become a true believer!!"

And of course everyone always looks at me in dismay (especially men) when I have to quote Julie Brown on them when they are acting stupid- "Stop it Debbie, you're embarassing me!" (From HOMECOMING QUEEN'S GOT A GUN, of course).

Excellent thread!!

"Double-drag" is an old one..but i use it when
i talk to my "ignorant prince hater" friends..

I say "mutha mutha" when I'm trying not to curse...

And sometimes when I say "LAWD!" - something I've always said - I think I put a little of that old man voice on it like he does w/o even realizing it

I hope that's it

If it was in Cherry Moon, it's in my vocabulary. I also love breaking into the 'the password is ok" routine whenever someone says 'OK' to me. Especially when the person responds and you can 'lead' the person through the whole thing.

I've answered the phone with, "What it is?"

I spin after I say "mother fucker."

"Just like I told ya." I didn't even realize how often I was using it until a friend asked me why I end my sentences with "just like I told ya" so often.

Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w. Prince

meow85 said:

omg! so do I! (not everytime I answer the phone)
too funny, I do the same as a few of you guys....the "what's the password" one is always fun, and certainly can't refuse when someone says "Question"

LOL. I do it too.

I quote Prince, during the worst possible opportunities even when the sentence makes absolutly no sense in a social situation.

For example last thanksgiving, I kept quoting the "Black ALbum"


"I just hate 2 C an erection go to waste --- please pass the gravy."

And that says what?

FunkMistress said:

Wow, I thought I was the only one who did that.

adorable2 said:

You beat me to it, but I say that ALL the time! lol It seems to work on so many levels.

I use a few here and there. Of course when I'm playing up on stage I'm always shoutin' Princely shit - "on the one!" "chili sauce!" , etc. Many of my quotes are also from the Black Album. Bob? Ain't that a bitch? Now go and put on that new wig I bought you. I hate to see an erection go to waste (I actually mumbled this in the background of my song 'Johnnygottaboner' on my Soundclick site - follow the link at the bottom). And, yeah, most people look at me like I'm retarded.

where the hell have you been?

FunkMistress said:

From the beginning of the Lovesexy album? I always thought that was "Under the sea!"

funkyfine said:

you're kidding right?

otan said:

Yeah Manki & I use nothing but lines from Purple Rain & Under the Cherry Moon at times and we actually understand each other while the rest of the band just don't get it. either that or they just think we're mental or sumpin' .
The Lines "there's something else...our music" & Apollonia's "hey wait!!!" pop up alot with us .

Phones rings at Cherrie's house...

Cherrie: What it is?

Cherrie and friends all at her house, ready to go out to the club, putting the i in fine...

Cherrie: Mirror, mirror, tenfold. Whose the finest dressed in gold?

Cherrie responds to her latest toyboy when he askes her does she think about him...

Cherrie: Sex is not all I think about...it's just all I think about you.

manki and I will do the same thing on Instant Messenger.

One time I just typed: Magnus?

and he typed: Yes Vina...

Then I typed: Is the water warm enough?

And he typed: Yes Vina...

Well, you get the picture... It was totally sponteanous.
