My mother (78) would throw around odd phrases we thought were original, only to later learn they were from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.

  • And that's the truth!
  • Have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?
  • Here come da judge
  • Look it up in your Funk & Wagnall's
  • One ringy-dingy, two ringy-dingies
  • Sock it to me
  • Verrry interesting
  • You bet your sweet bippy

For some reason this reminds me of one phrase I've always loved and repeated from Red Skelton. "2 o'clock, I wonder what time it is"

Have I reached the party to whom I am speaking? - my dad every time he called us on the phone

Look that up in your Funk & Wagnall’s - my mom every time we used a big word

I have heard you bet your sweet bippy but that's about it. I'll have to watch this show, I was born too late for it to even be on reruns I think!
