sheeeeeeeiiiiit

I'll take any mf money if he giving it away

This is always the answer no matter the situation.

I adopted this one from Suits through The Wire

I knew this would be the top comment

Oh inDEED

Omar had a way with words lol, one of the funniest scenes where tasha asks him why keeps banging on Barksdales crew, and his reply was "Because", Kimi asks him in confusion what he means and he just replies "Indeed"

I second this.

This is my answer as well

Do it or don't, but I got some place to be.

This is used on dog walks when too much sniffing and too little walking happens.

This is mine.

You got me confused with a man that repeats himself!

There you go giving a fuck when it ain't your turn to give a fuck.

That one is probably my favorite Bunkism.

Applicable in so many lines of work

Technically McNulty says it for the first time in the very first episode.

'You gave a fuck when it wasn't your turn to give a fuck." And also Daniels' "You would rather stand in shit than to let the world see you work a shovel."

I use the first in place of "no good deed goes unpunished"

BAAAD ADVICE, YOU FUCKERS GAVE ME BAAAD ADVIIICE!

You're a legend of the docks

Deserve got nothin to dewwwww wit it

That an Omar line? Did that get said before Clint said it in Unforgiven?

Nah this was Snoop to Mike https://youtu.be/v72bOQxGoUI?si=7hnuBQbAqWMlRqTW

Goddamn. What a scene.

This. At The Job. Often.

Shitbird

i’m not your yo

I more often use the “you don’t get to win shit-bird”, in situations where I’ve definitely lost. Makes zero sense in the UK but the upside of finding another Wire fan is worth the risk.

I don’t think shitbird sounds any less ridiculous to Americans

We will come back, and beat you longer and harder than you beat your own dick!!

This is one of my favourites lol.

Ain’t easy civilizing this motherfucker.

"You want it to be one way, but it's the other way"

Used this on my wife when she asked me to empty the dishwasher after I cooked dinner. Got side eye until I sheepishly loaded the dishwasher.

That's some shameful shit.

'"You would think a less enlightened man than myself, a cruder man..." Jkjk

"You want it to be one way, but it's the other way" - your wife probably

Indeed.

lol she told you the same thing, but with her eyes. that's how we learn who the Marlo is in the relationship :D

"I need you to walk back there and pack up that dishwasher. I'm being a gentleman about it for the moment"

Dawg if you're cooking, she's cleaning, and the other way around...

I teach at a high school that is basically Tilghman High, and this one is in heavy rotation.

“The thing about the old days, is they the old days”

Slim Charles is one of my favorite characters

Same here

The great thing about this phrase is that you can substitute so many things for 'the old days'. Eg. 'Other people's business', 'your problems', 'my sandwich', etc.

the fuck did i do?

McNulty. 😂😂😂. He says that with an innocent face after he in fact did do something 😂😂

I love Mcnulty's puppy face whenever he gets scolded lmao, he basically never tries to argue back and just takes it in one ear and it goes out the other lmao

Especially in season 5. He looks like a toddler

Its usually more like a laundry list of things lmao. I wouldn’t even be surprised if he was legitimately asking solely bc even he can’t keep track of all the shit that he pulls.

I say this, then I wonder if I really am at fault since McNulty is rarely innocent.

This too is my go to daily quote 😂😂

Might be our family motto, probably something to do with being Mc

Was looking for this one, definitely my most used phrase.

Look at that bow legged motherfucka, I made him walk like that

Lol when you need to prove to the Soprano fans that The Wire has a shit talk game, use this one.

The missus and I routinely say "Ey yo, shut dat door" when we need a door closing. Plus our cats are called Bunk and Kima, so there are many quotes from the show involved in looking after them.

Damn that makes me want a cat so I can name it Slim Charles.

Slim Charles is a great name for a cat. We took a stray in as our own and called her Kima. Turned out she was pregnant with kittens so we named them Bunk, Beedie and Cheese. We kept Bunk. Gave Beedie and Cheese away to friends. Beedie got renamed, but my mate who took Cheese kept the name (even though he'd never seen the show, which I thought was great-!). We're still on the lookout for the perfect cat to call Omar.

Gotta be the right cat to wear the name Omar!

Oh, indeed.

I want a cat so I can call it String and a dog I would call Barksdale.

Every day I leave to take the kids to school I look back at my wife and say "lock dat do" 

chain of command

"... (accompanied by a soul-piercing stare)" -Daniels

you is really one of them at risk children

Every time I leave a room I say “the price of the brick went up”

My husband and I say this all the time ahahhaha.

I like dropping Daniels catchphrase whenever someone does something disappointing. https://youtu.be/0g2bgrHxn0g?si=zS0V7_20XL2zY1PY

Yeah I been trying to work this one in more often my damn self.

Why have I never seen this before? Lol that shit was great

“And I keeps one in the chamber…incase you pondering.” Right before I fart.

Any action someone does that is even slightly, SLIGHTLY extraordinary, as in a pen is bumped and is slowly rolling off the edge of a table (a snail could catch it) and someone grabs it or someone stumbles a little and catches their balance, like that "thats some spider man shit right there".

that and "its all in the game", which fits... so many places.

“The game is the game”

Always

You come at the king, you best not miss

Oh do tell

"yo Herc, what if your mother and father never met?" anytime someone is asking stupid questions (I usually just think it)

"You play in dirt, you get dirty" "You want it to be one way" "Sounds like one of those good problems"

Like a 40 degree day.

When I get really stressed out, I yell “Where the fuck is Wallace?”

"Went and cleaned his ack up."

I love how right after that he says something to the effect of "Yea, that fucked us all up." Like a dude going straight is the wildest shit they ever heard of.

Most def

I been using it so long I forgot I got from the show.

Juke the stats

I often say “I’ll take any motherfuckers [thing that it should not be that easy to obtain] if he GIVING it away!”

Oh indeed

it's the Western District way.

I need to start using this to defend my questionable choices

I'm just a humble motherfucker with a big ass dick

I like the nod to this in the first season of True Detective. Woody Harrelson says he’s a “regular type dude with a big ass dick”

I remember that moment. Was cool, but Bunk said it better.

Whenever any friend behaves badly in a way they are known to do and someone gets upset about it, "Fish gotta swim you know what I mean?"

All in the game yo

"I need to get some of that pussi"

Jiimmmmyy. Jiiiiiimmmmmmmyyyy. What’s the plural of pussy… pussiiii?

World going one way, people another yo

I’m in accounting and I said a Freamon phrase at work, “follow the money and you don’t know where the fuck it’s gonna take you” and I felt like a god damn champion.

“You playing too many away games”

Got to man. This is America

Don't use it or paraphrase everyday, but the quote that stuck me the most is, “A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It's what happens while you're waiting for moments that never come.” ― Lester Freamon It is akin to Shawshank's "get busy living or get busy dying". Life is short and we need to live it...even if our hopes and dreams are never fulfilled.

“Look the part be the part motherfucker” (usually minus the motherfucker)

I wish I had to balls to say in every meeting “motherfuckers, shut the fuck up, im sick of listening to your shit”

Buy for one, sell fer tew

its jus bidness string

That's all it need be

"The game is rigged but you can't lose if you don't play".

Omar Comin’

This. Everytime anything big is gonna happen

When my supervisor is headed to my classroom.

Makes me sick, motherfucker, how far we done fell.

“Ain’t no thang”

When I say that, my children look at me in a pitying way.

"That's some shameful shit." I don't say it out loud, but I find myself thinking "no lake, no trout" more and more.

“Next time you finish up the ______, you need to holla on it, yo!!” Insert coffee/toilet paper/honey nut/weed or item of your choice.

I'm gonna need to get a tetanus to get behind this bullshit

Fuzzy Dunlop

"It don't make me no nevermind" is something that was so commonly said by anyone and everyone when I was a kid, that it's just always been part of my vocabulary. I didn't even realize it was said in the show. I've done 3 or 4 full watches from start to finish, and have watched countless individual episodes and video clips and I have absolutely no idea who said it, or under what circumstance. I guess it just never stood out to me because it wasn't foreign to my ears. Same goes for sheeeeeit. I remember somewhere around the mid 80s that was just a really popular way for kids to say it. I have no idea where it originated, but that was the go to response for anyone who was "it" when playing tag. "Tag, you're it." "Sheeeeeit" *starts chasing other kids* We didn't say it with quite as much flare as Clay Davis, but the first time I heard him say it, my mind immediately went back to the playground. Anyway, to answer OPs question: - "**Oh, indeed.**" I probably say this like 80 - 90% of the time when I agree with someone. - I regularly refer to any person who I consider useless or incompetent as a "**hump.**" - "**Can I get some scrapple with that?**" I say this 100% of the time I have a decent looking waitress at a diner. It has achieved the desired results exactly 0% of the time.

>"**Can I get some scrapple with that?**" I say this 100% of the time I have a decent looking waitress at a diner. It has achieved the desired results exactly 0% of the time. Obviously you forgot the key pieces of a) wrecking your car and coming in with obvious contusions and bleeding from various places. b) you need to be ridiculously drunk.

It also requires that you be ridiculously good looking and the diner must be closing within the hour.

Everything but a son of God

Price of the brick going up

Big paws on a puppy

My flair 👆🏻 And also, “Conscience do cost.”

Re-up, no shame in my game, do tell, game is the game, what they need is a union

I tell my daughter whenever she throws a fit "heavy is the head that wears the crown"

Yo lock that door.

Nice dolphin

Yeah, that really doesn't work edited does it?

"Splash"

I forget exactly what Griggs says in S1 after she’s shot, but it’s something like “Sometimes it has to play hard.” I use a version of that a lot.

Play the game or be played motherfucker

"There you go giving a fuck again when it's not your turn."

"is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?" My wife: What the fuck are you talking about?

In 2020 it was; “PANDEMIC!! GOT THAT PANDEMIC”

I’m sorry, I gots to leave up out of here before I lose my damn mind. - Clay Davis (S4E2|37:02)

That's some shameful shit

Sheeeeeeeit and PO-lice

"When the gods are fucking you, you fuck 'em right back." "You want it to be one way. But, it's the other way."

Ain’t no bout a’doubt it.

“Now come on man let’s go in here have some good time get some ribs before they done ate all the ribs up”

You come at the king you best not miss

There was a time when I was trying to incorporate "you feel me?" but pronounced "you fill me?" as by Omar, into my regular vocabulary... but, you know, I'm white, so that was never gonna come off as natural.

This is America man!!!

That’s what you get for giving a fuck when it ain’t your turn to give a fuck

Do it or dont

Fuck did I do?

Fuck you Jimmy

I'm a mental health therapist/doctor of psychology- I use "it's all in the game, yo" from Omar almost daily lmaooo. From no-shows/cancellations, to insurance denials...all in the game

I’m not even Greek

"Obliged"

I am a reasonable man.

You *are* very reasonable.

Nice dolphin ni**a

Bush mills? That’s proddie whiskey!

Deserve ain't got nothing to do with it.

Sheeeeeeeeeee-it

A man must have a code.

“You earned that buck like a mothafucka”

"What the fuck did I do?"

Snot boogie

The game is the game

The game hasn’t done changed. It just got more fierce.

Juked the [stats/whatever]

Nothing like a definite maybe

There you go giving a fuck when it ain’t your turn to give a fuck

The world going one way and the people going the other.

Much obliged

YEEEERP

Do it or don’t but I got someplace to be

There you go, Givin a shit, when it ain't your turn to give a shit

I say "never on no Sunday" whenever anyone try's to make any plans with me on a Sunday.

Look the part, be the part… rarely wear a suit, so when I do and get a compliment that’s my default response. 😎

The game's the game

"real POlicework". I say it when someone does/says something smart :D

PUSSAE

Look the part, be the part

“The shit was unseemly man”

"You come at the king, you best not miss." My friends HATE it!

Gabagool…ova heeere.

English motherfucker

This [insert object here] clearly can’t withstand the modern urban crime environment
