coming up with new phrases...

[nicolla]

... is probably the most stressful thing a villager can ask me lol. either new catchphrase or greeting or anything that involves thinking up of something for them to say. it makes me so sad that i cant think of anything clever other than hello as a greeting, but dont even get me started on catchphrases, i suggested Gladys say peeko bc idk what birds say aside from chirp aha;;

what do you guys do? any suggestions?

 

[Kaiserin]

It is stressful, I Either use 'Desu' or 'Nya' as a new Phrase.
The others, I Just leave it be.

 

[Ichigo.]

at this point, i just turn them down if i have nothing in mind. but i'll usually go for some random words/phrases from things i'm interested in (e.g., music groups, shows, etc), or i'll tell them to say random foods

 

[ThatRandomMayor]

I just say 'okay' and give them they phrase they already have

i like that idea :$ rather have them say peaches than like, mrmpht ((punchy ????? what))

I just say 'okay' and give them they phrase they already have

i do that if i REALLLLLY cant think of any bs

 

[jcnorn]

I usually remove the last 1 or 2 letters and replace them with something else. So it's essentially the same, but different XD

 

[visibleghost]

i try to come up with new ones, but there are some phrases i like so much that i dont wanna change them, hehe.

i tried making them say animal sounds (frogs say ribbit etc) but then they started sharing phrases.... i really didn't like having rabbits saying "ribbit" so i stopped making them say that ):

 

[Klave]

Yeah I really suck at thinking up of new phrases too. Normally I just leave them with the one they already have because I can't think of anything better. For example, Agent S has the catchphrase of sidekick which is already perfect.

 

[Wildroses]

I always get them to say a variation of whatever sound the animal they are would make anyway. Octopi I tell to say: "Glub glub" or "Bubble bubble", and my penguins get: "Pingu" a lot. Then you get the added amusement of watching the catchphrases spread to inappropriate animals, if you're into that sort of thing which I am but I see not everyone is. At one point my town had a cat, mouse, duck and octopus who went: "Purrrr".

 

[Nunnafinga]

I usually try to think of species related catchphrases and greetings...no matter how silly they might be.Sometimes I'll give them a catchphrase/greeting that refers to their appearance or personality type.I've always thought Chops looks a lot like Studio Ghibli's Porco Rosso character so I made that his catchphrase.Puck wears a hockey helmet so I gave him "zamboni".

 

[milkyi]

For greetings I just give all my villagers "Ayeee lmao" I try to keep all of their original catchphrases.

 

[loubean]

my villagers say cute things like, apple, honey, cutie, peach ect. i also have in my bed for a few of them because it's too great..

 

[@AussieTown_Official]

For my villagers that I don't like I put something weird for the good villagers I put something that says something about them

 

[CainWolf]

Back when I had Lopez I gave him "like a sir" and it was great, it doesn't suit any of my current villagers but it was one or my favorites for him.

I also have Roscoe say "or else" and it has mixed results depending on exactly what he's saying but when it works right it makes it worthwhile.

Personally I avoid anything too specific to a villager because getting a catchphrase like "glitter" out of my town was harder than getting rid of actual glitter (stop getting 'glitter' everywhere Julian!).

 

[Shay10]

I made Lionel's catchphrase booty grab, it always make me laugh!

 

[The221Believer]

Julian always gets variations of glitter--sparkle, dazzler, glimmer, et cetera.

Phoebe gets fire-related things.

Freya gets a particular Norwegian phrase that at the moment I can't remember.

Tia gets tea puns.

Drago and Muffy will get properly themed phrases when they ask.

Thanks for the new idea! Haha I get so tired of trying to think up new catchphrases, and they ask for new ones all the time! I wish they would just keep one for a while instead of constantly trying to change them!

 

[KeatAlex]

I usually make them say some sort of current slang word or whatever. Just to change things up. My Chrissy went from saying Pinky Pie to calling everyone slick

 

[KCourtnee]

My catchphrases can actually be a bit immature lol... But I like them x)
I usually try to make it something with the same first letter as thee type of animal they are.
Examples:
Goat gas
Pig poots
Cat coochie
Frog farts
Cow cream
Doggy dung
Sheep slug

This is one of my most annoying pet peeves in the entire game. I have no creative catch phrases or greetings other than the generic noise that animal would make. I always just turn them down or even ignore them completely so I don't have to listen to them ask this question so often. I kind of wish they would just stick with what they are given from the start of the game because that is way more creative than I could ever come up with.
