In my experience the most useful Achewood phrase is "rough chuckle".

I like the Nice Pete habit of capitalizing Important Words. Eg, "Pat cried but he did not Admit that he cried "

I still love the "there's a complicated power dynamic in that house" comic where it is established that Pat being a dick is more powerful than Pat being terrified of Nice Pete.

sometimes I get to adapt Ray's Airwolf line to a situation, and Circumstances come up a lot, but the one I use the most is "Whoa, THAT answer could use some work!"

Like, say it to friends who mutually enjoy Achewood, fine. Don't go around spouting random Achewood quotes to complete strangers hoping for a response or appreciation.

There is a quality to proper Achewood-isms that goes past their origins and makes them sensible even to people with zero familiarity with the comic strip. "Rough chuckles" and dudes who are from Circumstances are at the top of this pyramid. I have gotten some use at cocktail parties out of evaluating the strength of a beverage by how scared I am of cops.

Stringent posted:Rough chuckles is fine. I think it predates achewood but idk, I've just heard it irl from strangers a handful of times over the last couple decades "weird ideas about being a man" is probably the one that gets the most play for me these days, and "such as" as in "do you want such as Chinese food tonight" but it's not like I consciously took on that linguistic mantle as much as it wormed its way in over twenty years of reading a web comic

There really ain't anything to "get" about any of these phrases, though. They're meaningful because they're artful language, not because a funny stuffed animal said them.

I use the word "reticent" continually in formal settings. One day someone's going to call me out that it came from the GOF arc. I also employed "Samuel H. Invisible" once.

I always wondered what Miami's deal with salad was but now I just figure Onstad hadn't had some greens in a while or something and he had salad on the brain Also I just noticed that every contender in the badass games is wearing one of their tanks: Lyle's prestained with booze sweat, Vlad's ripped from stretching over his enormous metal frame, Cornelius... Well, for years I thought he was wearing an apron, for such as baking your own goddamn staff of life.

Yeah, achewood phrases are perfect for some situations and often I’ll use one but not realize it came from Achewood until after.
