I've been mainlining episodes of A Way With Words lately, and in one of today's episodes somebody called in with a fabulous phrase

Snorf. I LOVE IT!

Isn't it great? :)

Actually, I think you'd really like this show. You should check it out.

[jennythe_reader]

Yes, yes you do. :)

I like it. I can't think of an equivalent either.

[jennythe_reader]

Neither can I.

I also like how you can tweek it a bit: you can refer to one person as a "pound of pennies," but somebody else who's maybe further from useless or less annoying could be a "pound of nickles" or another, more valuable coin.

I like it!

Sometimes it would be the perfect phrase for a person.
