Catchphrases of the '70s
Catchphrases of the '70s are amazing utterances uttered during the 1970s, which were not only the disco years but also the catchphrase years. It was a time of self-exploration for many adults as marijuana became more popular. In fact, most people "into" self-exploration knew themselves pretty well at the outset. However, there always seemed to be something new to learn about the marijuana. It was easy to get, every kid and their brother (which is a 70's catch phrase for any black friend) smoked it daily.
History[edit]
A catch phrase is a phrase that if said enough times will catch on and people will start saying it. Usually, once the catch phrase has caught on, it takes a couple of days for it to become a taboo. That was for a good catch phrase. Bad ones mostly were taboo'ed as soon as the actor said it.
Thirteen-year-olds with ADD were the first to copy catch phrases because of their inability to focus on a single subject for more than 35 seconds, and because there was little extra credit given in America's new "middle schools" for originality. These catch phrases lasted 35 seconds apiece.
America was the first to start a catch phrase, because America is better than all other countries and can kick anyone's ass. And, it is the world's most humble country. America's excellence owes to the many catch phrases it started in the 70's. Here are a few examples.

This is just a simple push-up. So start in a lieing down position, Now place your arms in the middle of your body and straighten them. You will notice you are starting to be pushed up by this action. That is good. Once your arms are fully extended, Congratulation, you are now in the push-ups starting position. Now let your arms begin to bend, ever so slowly as to not smack your face into the ground. When your arms are bending do not let them go past 90 degrees. If they do you will have to start over. So now your arms should be at 90 degrees so you will now want to push-up like you did in step 1 where you will feel yourself being lifted up. Go until you are now back at your starting position. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! You are now 999 push-ups away from today's goal!!

Now it is time to relax because you have had a hard day. Just calm down with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book to read.
Knowing the Catch Phrase[edit]
You should research your catch phrase before you say it. Good research places are Youtube, Wikipedia (because they are so reliable), Or television. Just look them up and you are on your way to saying them properly. Note how the actor says it, or how he moves when he says it. You might want to mimic that when you say their catch phrase. That will add a good spin on your joke. And most of all say it at the right time. Dont say it at a funeral. Screw that. Say it anywhere, even funerals.
Who to say it to[edit]
The people to say it to have defining qualities that make them easy targets for Catch Phrase abuse. Many times their speech is slurred and they cannot correct someone without yelling "N00B!!!" at them for a small mistake. (See also geek) Usually, when he gets the joke, the geek feels like he is the best in the world and laughs extra hard to show people around him that he got it and they don't get it. These laughing spells have led to a decline in the NLaHA (National L33t and HaXor Association) because of the geek depriving themselves of air because the individual who said the catch phrase "brought the lulz to hard." This drop in the geek population has led to an increase in the less well known NHFT (N00bs Have Feelings Too) which nobody wants. So DO NOT go around saying it to every geek you see, pace yourself and enjoy the ride.
