“Shoulda, but didn’t.” – Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel. I say this almost every time somebody says the word “should’ve.” Original context: This quote originates from “The Twisted World of Marge Simpson” where Cletus gets 300 free pretzels thanks to 300 free-pretzel coupons. Marge says, “Hmm… I should’ve put, ‘Limit one per customer’” and Cletus says in his southern tone, “Shoulda, but didn’t.” Example: “I should’ve washed the dog.” “Shoulda, but didn’t.”

“Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is: never try.” – Homer. I use this quote any time I or someone around me fails at something. Original context: This quote is from “Burns’ Heir” when neither Bart or Lisa were chosen as Burns’ heir. Example: “I can’t believe I just got last place in the 100-meter dash.” “The lesson is: never try.”

“Money can be exchanged for goods and services.” – Homer’s Brain. I say this quote every time I go shopping. Original context: Homer wants peanuts but instead finds a twenty dollar bill. His brain explains a simple form of how the economy works.

“I bet I’ll get blamed for this.” – Mayor Quimby. Original context: After Mayor Quimby makes jokes about the French’s resemblance to frogs, they launch a nuclear warhead at Springfield. Seeing the warhead go by his office window, Quimby says this line. Example: I would say this line if I am obviously at fault for something such as knocking an expensive vase onto the floor or deleting the computer’s hard drive.
