Your Hand-Book of Everyday Quoteables

If you are anything like our family (and if Pinterest is a honest witness, you are), there are certain quotes from movies, books, and the like that have so inbred with the life of your family that you can hardly tell where they came from in the first place, and why they're still here. In an attempt to find the history of these phrases in our own family, I have compiled in this post a "Hand-book of Everyday Quoteables". These are catch-phrase we use everyday (or frequently), and I hope they make you laugh.
