Strangest default villager catchphrases?

[ctar17]

I have Zell and his is "pronk" and also Del and his is "gronk"

Lots of rhyming in my town. I also have Deli (but his is "monch")

I think it's worth mentioning that Hazel's catchphrase is "uni-wow"

My friend has Peewee and his catchphrase used to be “li’l dude” in previous games, but now it’s “little bitty baby”... ???

Wade's catchphrase is "so it goes" Not super odd, but in a world of animal puns, it stands out a bit

ew... as if i needed antoher reason to hate peewee

I don't like Punchy's default "mrmpht" catchphrase lol, what does it even mean? Idk if I'm missing something here but all these years since NL and I still have no idea and I hope he asks me to change it for him soon in NH.

His catchphrase is the sound of shrugging combined with sighing, which relates to his lazy personality.

OHH okay thank you lol, I feel like I've probably read that at some point but forgot about it! Still sounds weird to me though, I never knew how to pronounce it when reading his dialogue and always changed it as soon as he asked.

genji's used to be otaku, which is kinda odd lol. I think they might've changed it but im not sure

I didn’t know that! He lives on my island and his default catchphrase is now ‘mochi’, which I think is really cute haha.

Raymond's catchphrase, which is "Crisps" I mean, why? What's the origin?

Perhaps related to the UK? Crisps as in potato chips? I dunno.

I always thought of it as a weird cat grumble noise, like he's too lazy to talk. I like it. For some reason his catchphrase paired with his eyes makes him funny to me.

boomer's catchphrase is "human" it catches me off-guard every time he says something like "what are you up to, human?"

Tex keeps saying “picante” and I wish he would stop

 

[0orchid]

Sprocket says "zort".. is that supposed to be a robot noise

 

[coffee biscuit]

It isn't strange but Butch's catchphrase is ROOOOOWF in all caps lock and it throws me off every time I see it.
Other than that, Skye has one of the strangest catchphrases imo. I would've guessed her catchphrase would be "cloudy!" or something but it's "airmail"..? Like I get that it kinda makes sense but it's still odd.

I believeee that may be like a recreation of the little trilling sounds that cats make, here’s a video of it

I actually really like this since Tex Mex is a common type of spicy food sold and Picante means spicy in spanish!

It definitely does make sense, but idk, it just feels weird to me every time he says it lol.

Raymond's "crisp"... what does that even mean

i was thinking about it and maybe it has to do with papers? like his interior is an office, he's dressed like a business man and he has a stack of papers on his desk so maybe he likes a crisp stack of papers? ngl it made more sense in my head

Spoiler: his house

Genji's "mochi" is total love for us! We love mochi sweets and mochi ice cream so we get a kick out of that all the time.

That makes a lot of sense!
My irl cat makes that sound when I feed her
