PSA On Villager Catchphrases

[skogkyst]

I've found out that, just like in New Leaf, villagers can adopt each others' custom catchphrases without telling you. I found this out when Fauna starting parroting Bill, of all people. The custom catchphrase I gave him does not fit her, ugh.

 

[crystalmilktea]

Ah yes... almost all my villagers have the same catchphrase right now and I've watched them have dialogue about copying another's catchphrase haha!

 

[Hedgehugs]

Odd. Every one of my villagers has asked me permission before doing so.

Can't you go to Isabelle and say you "don't like the way she talks"?

 

[ForgottenT]

All my villagers share the same catchphrase, gave it to Wendy, a couple days later and now every single villager is using it.

 

[0kamu0]

it spreads so quickly lol. I dont even remember who I gave the catchphrase "dummy" but now almost my whole island is saying it

 

[marea]

Yeah, i found two of my villagers talking and inserted my self into their convo then this happened, twice! Now i have like 3 villagers with the same catchphrase.

 

[JKDOS]

Just report them to Isabelle.

Lucky for me, they all have their own catchphrases yet. Al asked me to change his, but I said no because I already liked his.

 

[ElliotAdoresYou]

I made the catchphrase for one of my villagers “gayy” as a joke, and now all of my villagers except coco and Raymond say “gayy” whenever I talk to them- Like you didn’t have to call me out like that Tia,, we all know I’m ordering desserts-

 

[AccfSally]

Yep, I found that out recently when Sally was talking to others.

 

[Sloom]

I gave Robin the catchphrase "Poo nibbler" and it spread like a virus. The next 2 days almost everyone on the island was saying "poo nibbler" I complained about all of them to Isabelle. a couple of days later loads of my villagers were infected with the dastardly phrase "poo nibbler" once more.

I had to make sure I annihilated this disease before it spread further, so I put my thumb through the painstaking job of complaining about every single villager to Isabelle.

never again.

good to know! I gave Erik the catchphrase "eh" the other day (cause he's a sweet moose boy and it suits him so well haha), but I'm hoping none of the others pick it up cause it just wouldn't make any sense

 

[Zura]

None of villagers have ever asked about catchphrases or nicknames and ive been playing legit since the release

 

[Capeet]

oh yes catchphrases spread like wildfire in this game!! everyone's calling me bro now

 

[Xara]

none of my villagers share a catchphrase - they haven’t even asked me for one yet lmao

 

[Bcat]

Nobody's asked me for a catchphrase yet. This upsets me, as I can't wait to corrupt all my cute little villagers into potty-mouthed drug dealers.

 

[gldawn]

If I’m not

Odd. Every one of my villagers has asked me permission before doing so.

I may be mistaken, but I thought villagers only ask permission to use a nickname that another villager has coined for you. Catchphrases seem to spread with no player involvement.

ahh but to do it properly it should be Eh! it's a word with many, many ways of saying it, each with a different meaning... all depending on the sentence before it. i'm originally from the west coast, we say it a lot more frequently than most areas other than the east coast(rarely hear it in ontario unless it's another transplant like me). then again both the west and east coasts have funny accents.

yep catch phrases don't require permission, only nicknames... though bianca was really rude about the one she gave me last night.

bianca "so i want to call you "glitter"
me "no..."
bianca "okay glitter!"

so hornsby asked me for a new one and i jokingly put "asshat"
2 mins later, sterling was adding it to his sentences and it was hilarious! like a little kid adding a new word of the day that they have no understanding of so use it wrongly.
last night tank asked for a new phrase so i gave him "WazzzzUP"... it's now vying with asshat between them all and cracking me up.

Rory was one of my starting islanders, and I put his tent on the beach so I made his catchphrase "beach bud" which spread like wildfire. Later he asked me to change it, so I did, but then he reabsorbed beach bud from one of the villagers he taught it to! He moved out yesterday but Whitney and Punchy are still saying beach bud. I wonder how long beach bud will last, beach bud?

Also Doc seems to pick up Diva's catchphrases almost as soon as she gets them. It's kind of cute!

ahh I really wanted to add some punctuation but they use it at weird points in the sentence sometimes so I went with just eh to be safe. But don't worry I read it like Eh! every time

He's also the first one to give me a nickname (wonder bud) so he's one of my favorite villagers atm. I hope the others start asking soon!

I changed Celia's catchphrase to "fly like a me" (since she's an eagle...fly like an eagle...eagle didn't fit...get it?) and now Snooty the anteater is saying it so it has a very different feel.

When Bon Bon asked me to change hers the thought had her thinking about lasers so I picked "lasers" like Dr. Evil with the air quotes but she's too...peppy...for air quotes.
