Words or phrases you learned from TV
I've been getting caught up on HBO's The Wire, and it struck me how often they use the word 'shitbird'. (It essentially means the same as 'shithead' and other such insults.) I don't think I've ever heard that word other than on that show, but I actually kind of like it and use it occasionally.

What words/phrases have been introduced to you through TV that you find yourself using? I don't mean 'catch phrases', but something actually new that you hadn't heard before.

Frak is probably the most common one I use.

I find myself using swear words from Battlestar Galactica and Farscape here and there.

I use Farscape vocabulary all the time, people have actually caught me and asked me exactly why I was saying "frell".

"Bunk" - Thank you Meldrick Lewis.
"That's unpossible" - Thank you Ralph Wiggum.

I use a lot of South Park phrases. But that hasn't been cool to do since 1998.

I've been using that one quite a bit as well.

There are probably dozens of others that I'm not even aware that I got from TV.
