Villagers copying each other's catchphrases

Has no chill
I actually don't mind it. I made all of Lucky's greetings and catch phrases in arabic since he's Egyptian themed. His catch phrase is "sahibi" which I looked up as a word for friend. Then Bunnie changed her catch phrase to the same. I head canon-ed that Lucky was teaching Bunnie a second language. As long as they don't change shirts then I'm fine with them doing what they want.
It's super annoying and sometimes when I see two villagers humming and skipping around I talk to both of them immediately and when I realize they spread their catchphrase to someone else, I immediately close the game via menu. I save my game a lot now because of that reason. I don't really mind THAT much when one of my dream villagers share their catchphrase with another dream villager, but it's still somewhat cringeworthy. When Goose and Tammi lived in my town, Goose spread his "buh-kay" to Katt, and Tammi spread her "chimpy" to Beau. I hated it so much so I tattled to Isabelle.

I always get anxious when I'm walking around my town for too long, worried that a villager will change their shirt or catchphrase from a conversation with another villager. I remember resetting once when a villager changed their shirt to match a villager I disliked.
Not the first game in the series this happens you know! What I did to counteract this, since every game since Wild World every hole you dig remains (GC it would disappear after a few screen scrolls over), I began trapping my villagers beginning with Wild World. I know exactly where they are at all times (every so often they sit on stumps near their houses), and they all have the same catchphrases I told them to say! Heh, heh! By the way, in the Japanese one, I don't mind them repeating 'くちぐせ' (look up the meaning it's rather funny having them say that).

This does seem to happen more often now than I remember it happening, and I hate it most when it's either an original catchphrase getting spread around (sly shared his with most of my one town so everyone's running around saying hoo-rah) and when it's something I gave to a very specific villager for a reason, but mostly it ends up being funny to me. I had a town full of cute little animals all saying "I eat kids!" Because Frank asked for something less intimidating and I thought it would be funny to make him more intimidating, but then having bunnie and dierdre and Antonio in on all that action and I giggled every time! Right now my main town has half the villagers ending all their speaches with "in bed" because I wanted to see how well it would work out, it's not always funny, but when it is it's hilarious!

I hate when this happens. I gave Tex the catchphrase 'pengu' and now half the town are saying it.
I think it's cute, it shows how they hang out with the most. Felicity was besties with Bam in my town and picked up his catchphrase. Even though he's been out of that town for over a month now she's still walking around saying "boosh".

I don't like that the villagers whom I not friends with, are using the same cute nicknames as my dreamies :/
Yeah, I've always thought this was a really dumb feature. A lot of the default catchphrases aren't even something that fits the other animals!
In City Folk, I called it the "b-b-buddy" disease... I absolutely hated that Roald spread his catchprase around and made it sound like everyone was freezing even though it wasn't winter.

Yep!
It was the worst in acnl when almost everyone in my town kept copying Cube’s catchphrase (d-d-dude) that I had to revert everyone’s catchphrase to their default or a custom one. And now it’s spreading in NH as well (which annoys me) when I gave someone in my island (of course) as a catchphrase and 3 of them are saying it now.
why is this something i would do lmao
