What are some of your favorite Archie-ism (i.e. words or phrases)?
Thanks ...

Well, here are a few that immediately come to mind:

"Get away from me!"

"I don't want some Catholic priest sprinklin' incest over everybody."

"I don't want my wife turning from a Christian into a Catholic."

Talking about Eleanor Roosevelt:
"She was the one that discovered the coloreds in this country. We never knew they was there!"

"...hangin' around my neck like an albacore."

(I couldn't find anything appropriate for this, so I chose Mr. T - who has GOLD CHAINS around HIS neck.)

"God don't make no mistakes. That's how he got to become God."

If I think of some more, I'll be back.

One of my favorites is when "Meathead" tells Archie he's an Atheist. And Edith asks what religion that is.. Archie has the answer:
"It's worst than that Edith, it means he can't have children!"

Oh God, I love that one! That's my favorite one.

How about this one:
Edith: "Archie, what are you doing up there? You've been up there at least 20 minutes"
Archie: "Why? Are you selling the house?"

I's hard to decide. They're are so many. I'll just say the one from the last ep I saw.

It was Christmas and Gloria's Spanish friend(sorry, don't know her name) was sining Feliz Navida:

Archie: Hey, Hey. Don't sing a Spanish song on Christmas. God don't like that.

All of the Archie-isms are great. The episode that you're referring to is my favorite AITF Christmas episode. Gloria's Spanish friend is actually the Bunker house boarder Teresa Bentencourt (played by the brilliant Liz Torres, best known as Julie Erskine on Phyllis, now has a recurring role on Gilmore Girls).

I just heard another Archie-ism that had me laughing:
Edith: "Archie, I was just thinking.."
Archie: " Don't do none of that"

***

and.. this one was an ep where Archie and Mike took the bathroom door off so they could shave it to have it close properly. As Arch and Mike are shaving the door, Edith tells Archie that she needs to use the turlet.

Edith: "Archie, but how can I use it without a door? You know, how will I keep people from.. coming in?"

Archie: "Just sing Edith. Just sing."

That's another good one.

Archie: "California is the land of fruits and nuts."

Archie: "Every fruit is a little nutty, and every nut is a little fruity!"

I loved that one!!! Classic Archie-ism!!!

storrs19 · 03-13-2003, 02:28 AM

That one about California is my all time favorite as it sums up the state perfectly in my humble opinion.

I also loved the one about "Hismones" and "Hermones" instead of hormones.

It's funny how Archie pronounces toilet. He pronounces it "TERLIT". Like Archie says "How am I supposed to nail the TERLIT roll holder into that tile wall up there?"

I always laugh when Archie is talking to Lionel, Henry or George Jefferson and is referring to the black race. He always says, "You's people........"
