Sudden, strange use of words or phrases

So lately if something happens - something bad - instead of dropping the usual s-bomb, I've used an extended form of it. "S__ on a stick."
I have no idea how I started, but now I've got this long phrase that comes out completely spontaneously, and I sound like a moron. The other night, I spilled my drink. "S___ on a stick." The bread bag was too close and started melting on the pan I was using for grilled cheese. "Oh, S___ on a stick." It's a completely inappropriate number of words and syllables, and sounds completely foolish.

Lately I've taken to saying "don't judge me" whenever someone questions a decision I make. I must've said it three times at dinner yesterday.

I will often say "Shiitake" (as in the japanese mushroom) in place of the other word it closely resembles.

At one point over the summer, I'd switched from dropping an f bomb to "f a duck". I've slowly weened myself off of it, though.

I remember my college roommate's mom always used to say to her, "Damn Sam, Jenny". To this day that cracks me up.

somehow i started saying "fantastical" instead of "fantastic" or "great"

"You'll be arriving at 7? Fantastical!"

sadly i kind of like it. i'm sure it sounds stupid but I can't make myself care.

I like when you call us "my droogies". I like using peeps, like "my peeps" or "we're having some peeps over".

Hah! I forgot about that. Nothing like a little Clockwork Orange reference to spice things up.

My old lady uses the phrase "sh_t ton" waaay too much. As in, "I have a sh_t ton of work to do today". It really gets on my nerves.

My buddy and I started this one-upmanship saying variations on the "Christ on a cracker" theme for a while. It got really weird. Pogo sticks and defecating in a brown paper bag, etc. Stuff that was too long or complex to actually be funny. Not that we are the only people to do this or anything.
