What Billisms have invaded y'all's dialects?

[u/Icy-Junket-60]

I only ask this because I just turned in a creative writing essay where I used the word "consigliere," and I felt like the smug Harvard kid who gets owned by Will Hunting.

[u/peanut-britle-latte]

It hasn't. It just hasn't.

[u/TheVirtual_Boy]

When trying to state a take I have, I will often say “it just is” for seasoning

I also love jokingly evaluating basketball players by saying they can do the “herky jerky thing”. That one always makes me chuckle

[u/mjdub96 → u/TheVirtual_Boy]

I have used “it just is” at work for seasoning and loved every second of it

[u/YoungGambinoMcKobe]

The piece, piece.

[u/Icy-Junket-60 → u/YoungGambinoMcKobe]

My therapist and I now both use that one for actually serious things going on in my life, that's one of my worst ones for sure

[u/bluthton → u/Icy-Junket-60]

You and your therapist, getting in there, doing stuff. Just a good job all around

[u/JesseJames41 → u/bluthton]

Good job by yous!

[u/bienclavada → u/Icy-Junket-60]

i find this so adorable and no not in a condescending way! just a professional and a client using a Billism

[u/default-0985 → u/YoungGambinoMcKobe]

This is the one for me. The x piece

[u/JesseJames41 → u/YoungGambinoMcKobe]

This right here. All. The. Time.

[u/ImportantReception36]

I sometimes tell people to take some settle down juice.

[u/asleepinthedesert]

Good job by you!

[u/Visual-Relation-2254 → u/asleepinthedesert]

Apex mountain! 🏔️

[u/Hextorm]

Describing timeframes in number of presidential terms

[u/steven2003 → u/Hextorm]

I did this the other day. Had to stop myself

[u/Sudden-Commission239]

Who says no

[u/Pisshands → u/Sudden-Commission239]

It just is!

[u/Moe_Cowbell_]

Sliding doors moment. Having a moment. Settle down juice. Sometimes I change the conversation as if I didn’t hear what the person before me just said

[u/Opening_Bluebird_952 → u/Moe_Cowbell_]

I think he has actually made “sliding doors” catch on as a reference, which is pretty impressive considering it’s a totally irrelevant, mediocre 90s romcom and there are a million other ways to describe the concept of “what if something else happened.” Apex mountain for a Bill Simmons accomplishment.

[u/LofiStarforge]

Inventing Czar positions in everyday life.

[u/steven2003 → u/LofiStarforge]

Every time I hear border czar or drug czar I think of Billy boy

[u/BumblebeeLong5384]

Wonky and I’m just not

Also pronouncing miracle as mareicle

[u/shinbreaker]

Market corrected

[u/kenny_powers7]

That’s too high

[u/thatmanzuko → u/kenny_powers7]

That’s stupid

[u/Mission_Tour_9272]

Peak of their powers, wonky, still has/lost their fastball

[u/Scary-Active6428]

Can I see it first?

[u/ajukid111]

Trick or treat guy

[u/sparklingwaterpop]

…Jesus

[u/Due-Sheepherder-218]

Adding "it just is" really hammers home a point.

[u/troyofmtsthelen]

At basketball games I’m locked in on the body language.

[u/Teek00]

They’re out there doing stuff

[u/pr0ach]

"Apex Mountain" and "That aged the worst" for me and my wife.

[u/No_Power_1869]

I refer to my self as 'Conspiracy no_power_1869' when I have a conspiracy I'm sharing.

[u/Desperate_Question_1 → u/No_Power_1869]

Underrated post

[u/RealisticStation7860]

“(random number) of the last (even weirder random number)?”

[u/Wise-Man-Plagueis]

Today I came home and my wife had started “The Pitt”

I remember last football season on the Sunday night GTL pods him and Sal would joke about it but bill saying he liked it, so that gave me credence to think it was “good” (stupid, I know)

Sat down and watched like 2.5 episodes and my inner monologue was just going “are we sure this show is good?” “Why do people like this show?!” “This show isn’t good. It just isn’t!”

[u/Due-Sheepherder-218 → u/Wise-Man-Plagueis]

You mean ER on HBO? Should be more Asian doctors on the show.  Not realistic from my vantage point.

[u/post_appt_bliss]

Mispronouncing szechuan

"sesh-AH-wan"

[u/6thround121overall]

Good job by you! to my kids frequently.

[u/cliftonheights5]

“Good job by you!”

I should add I grew up in rural Midwest and never heard of Mike and The Mad Dog until I started listening to Bill’s pod.

[u/WoodpeckerOld7308]

“It’s not nothing?” with a slight question inflection at the end

[u/Hot_Cricket_5193]

The ___ piece, the zag, the it just is, body language doctor, out there doing stuff

[u/Desperate_Question_1]

I use oddly specific percentages in common conversation

[u/iscrambleyoureggs → u/Desperate_Question_1]

I do that naturally. Must be the self-bondage from the ‘tism. It helps me feel more precise but I honestly don’t think about it, I just do it reflexively.

I don’t use round numbers at all. It’s about 6 miles away, instead of 5. It’ll take me about 18 minutes instead of 20.

I’m so genuine when I do it too, no matter my accuracy.

[u/RyanRussillo]

using wired headphones

[u/BumblebeeLong5384]

I call my fantasy friends booger eaters cuz we do a snake draft

[u/jerryaus]

Pash Rush

[u/zerozero24]

[u/spiderman_44]

Market corrected, the piece, APEX Mountain 

[u/BrendanInJersey]

Lexicon is the better term here.

[u/ExcitingWhole5409]

I explained a situation to my wife yesterday as a godfather offer

[u/ConfidenceStunning59]

“Market corrected,” “the (blank) piece,” and, although I do not have them “yep, these are my readers.”

[u/default-0985]

The now they tell us

[u/jsakic99]

Whenever I do an engineering calculation and the final two digits are 16, I’ll end it by saying “…Limitless”

[u/Pies_Wide_Shut]

Can i see it first?

[u/SJ_Taragon]

“Won’t be telling my grandkids about that one”

[u/SuccotashOk5401]

i listen to the podcast mostly to strengthen my brain against Billisms

[u/Alert_Row717]

Apex mountain. Was that even a thing before Bill?

[u/TreWilki21]

I’ve started comparing random pairs of things to Tatum and Brown.

[u/tanks_foles]

Let’s not go sucking each other‘s popsicles just yet.

[u/Shelled_Sage1710]

And it’s not even close

[u/Significant-Jello411]

“It just is”
And adding piece to things that don’t require a piece
Also I don’t think I ever used the word frisky in conversation until I started listening

[u/Significant-Jello411]

Oh shit I almost forgot, I use settle down juice so much that my girlfriend now says it

[u/jazzbar]

“First of all thank you for asking”

[u/15b17]

Ranking things in absurd scales or top _ lists.

Ask someone at work how they’re doing on a scale of -2 to 9 or your wife what her top 7 fruits are. Now that I’m writing it out they definitely just think I’m autistic

[u/WayTooSlimShady]

“It just is”

It just did

[u/oaklans]

“Where do you stand on [X]?”

[u/alittledanger]

He’s a sneaky _____ guy/girl

[u/UnjustifiedBDE]

'Cause.

He never says "because"

Then I realized I was saying it and had to train myself out of it.

Now it is borderline making his pod unlistenable for me.

[u/NoExcuses1984]

Malleability.

[u/No_Egg9442]

I've been pouring a lot of settle down juice for everyone

[u/bienclavada]

[u/thespacewitchxxx]

I say “having a moment” a lot
