Anyone else hate when villagers share catchphrases?

[Jared:3]

This is something I dislike in the game, I just hate when villagers share their catchphrases with each other because I like everyone to have their own unique catchphrase and not spread it like the flu lol

 

[Jam86]

this bothers me too, i'll teach a villager i don't care about a catchphrase and within a day pretty much all my villagers will use it and this has happened so many times

If I could keep my villagers 100% original I would! (with some exceptions to ugly houses) I hate it when villagers wear custom clothing, change catchphrase, put ugly bugs and fish in their houses etc!

 

[Dormire]

SAME. It's so weird. Everyone has "girl" as their catchphrases. LOL. I wonder if complaining to Isabelle resets it.

 

[Rasha]

Yes, yesterday suddenly three or four villagers ran to me calling me Iron B...
Thanks, Hamlet.

Edit; wait, that's not really a catchphrase but I'll leave it there..

That isn't a catchphrase that's a nickname

just be thankful your name doesn't start with D lol

Yes! Somehow everyone caught Kiki's "meow" catchphrase. And it's so weird to see a duck or a sheep say meow.

i really dislike it too, all of my villagers usually share the same 2-3 catchphrases i want them to keep their original catchphrases, raymond has been using apple's "cheekers" catchphrase for ages now!

i haven't given my villagers a single bug or fish yet either to try and keep their homes looking nice, and i get sad when i give another villagers gift to someone, they open it, wear the clothes that was inside and it turns out to be weird, skye has been wearing a pineapple dress and apple has been wearing a hot dog costume!

 

[Cadbberry]

I gave plucky Eggcelent and now Shep is saying it and that's weird, I will have to complain to Isabelle later

 

[takotakotako]

so far I haven't encountered this problem, but i really hope i don't lol. having half of my villagers calling me "champ" is enough as it is lol

 

[acnl.nancy]

I gave the catchphrase "nosey" to an anteater lol. next thing you know a sheep villager and a monkey villager are using it yes its very annoying

 

[Fenix]

Yeah I also dislike this. I think most catchphrases are made "specially for that villager", like Goldie saying woof since she is a dog, and it's weird to see a cow saying woof . Or another example related to personality, Agnes saying dude kind of suits her since she's kind of a rocker, but then Whitney saying dude is weird for me at least, since she looks more like a gentle princess lol

SAME omg I hate it ! Not only for the catchphrases but the nicknames too ! Nicknames are special to me irl, they're created by/with a friend depending on what you've lived and shared together. So having my whole island calling me the same really upsets me. I feel like I have a special bond with each character but apparently they don't feel the same.

 

[Xara]

i don’t necessarily hate it but i’m not super fond of it aha

 

[stiney]

I gave Celia "fly like a me" because eagle wouldn't fit but she is an eagle and then Snooty started saying. Then I gave Hamlet "brah" and now Snooty is saying *that*. Snooty what are you doing.

Then I gave Celia a new catchphrase, "peep peep." I was a little said when Cousteau and Celia were talking and he picked up peep peep because I liked hearing him say "oui oui" but there are frogs that peep and it's a cute one that doesn't make me go WHY ARE YOU SAYING BRAH SNOOTY YOU AREN'T A BRO.

So sometimes it makes me laugh and sometimes is perplexing and sometimes drives me crazy.

 

[Alicia]

I don't hate it but I try to keep them with their original catchphrase. Whenever they ask me for a new one I just tell them I like the one they have.

 

[skogkyst]

Yes, they've all started tripping over each other to adopt each others' catchphrases. It drives me up the wall.

 

[lemonzboy]

I'd change Amelia's but the one time I changed beaus from saltlick to salty everyone said it and coco not saying doyoing is cursed

I thought you had to approve villagers giving you a nickname/picking one up. I am trying to get rid of Axel and he pinged so I talked to him and he wanted to call me kiddo and I said no (and then he was really sad and I felt bad but Axel you *have* to go I have three jocks and no lazies or smugs). I did let literally everyone else call me kiddo when they asked. (Leave, Axel, with your creepy, creepy grin.)
