	Catch Phrases
		First, consider the phrase "when all is said and done." Once, this phrase was clever and original, but so many millions of writers and speakers have used it so many times over so many years that the phrase has become automatic and nearly meaningless.
		This type of worn-out phrase is called a catch phrase, and you should always avoid it in your writing, unless you are quoting someone else: you own, original words are always more interesting.
		A particularly stale catch phrase -- especially one which was once particularly clever -- is a cliché.

	Catch phrase
		A catch phrase is a phrase or expression that is spontaneously popularized after a critical amount of widespread repeated usage in everyday conversation (i.e., it "catches" on).
		The term "Manifest Destiny", for example, was a catch phrase of the mid-nineteenth century, coined by journalist John O'Sullivan in an editorial in 1845.
		In the professional wrestling arena, catch phrases are often essential to a wrestlerâs gimmick.

	Bernie DeKoven, funsmith: Catch Phrase
		Being able to select a new category at the beginning of each round provides a good break, adds a bit of information, a sense of control, and is totally optional.
		And there are so many words and phrases, and it's all so elegantly designed that you don't need to come up with variations to keep it fun, but, if you want to, there's nothing stopping you.
		Younger kids might have difficulty with some of the vocabulary, but if you're playing with a mixed age group, you don't need to get so serious about the competition that you can't find a way to make the game fun for everyone.

	Twin Galaxies Forums :: View topic - TV Land's "Top 100 Catch Phrases of All Time"
		And from the list of extremely memorable catch phrases that inexpicably did NOT make the list, here are just a select five (5) that I can easily suggest should be considered an all time classic...which also proves that such lists, whether TV or game related, are never truly accurate...
		In that case, saying a common phrase I suppose with the exact inflections of the originating user, such as what another TV watcher suggested ("Good Evening" by ALfred Hitchcock) might actually be considered a "catch phrase", but when the words are spoken without the same inflection, they are simply just words and nothing more.
		While I agree that this phrase actually belongs on such a list, I believe that this exact phrase was never actually uttered on any of the original Star Trek episodes.
