Hi Suzie,

My favourite catchphrase is from Jim Bowen the host of a TV Quiz show based on darts called 'Bullseye'. It had pretty crap prizes (even for the era) apart from the 'Star Prize', but when the finalists DIDN'T win it, old Jim didn't realise how much he was 'rubbing their faces in it' by showing them it and saying; "Lets have a look at what you could have won!"

It was so naff and pretty crapola.

For another category, why not; "Infamous People"?

Oscar Wilde, Mandy Rice Davies, Napoleon - among lots of others - all made memorable and infamous quotes.

Nobody puts baby in the corner - Dirty Dancing :')

[Amy Jade]

"Be quiet, Tiffany! Be quiet! Stop it! I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this. When my mother yells like this it’s because she loves me. I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you! How dare you! Learn something from this! When you go to bed at night, you lay there and you take responsibility for yourself, because nobody’s going to take responsibility for you. You rolling your eyes and you act like it’s because you’ve heard it all before. You don’t know where the hell I come from, you have no idea what I’ve been through. But I’m not a victim; I grow from it and I learn. Take responsibility for yourself."

Iconic speech from Tyra Banks from ANTM
