Season 17 of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County will be must-see reality TV as long-time cast member Tamra Judge is coming back and so is Taylor Armstrong. Taylor was part of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for the first few seasons. While Housewives usually stay on their own city in the Real Housewives franchise, one thing they do have in common is saying hilarious quotes that end up becoming catchphrases.
Almost every city in the franchise has at least a few lines that have become so memorable that fans repeat them in everyday conversation. From arguing to partying, these vibrant and personable cast members have a lot to say.
“Let’s Whoop It Up!”
Vicki enjoyed having a good time
Vicki Gunvalson’s RHOC quotes showed her personality, and during her 14 seasons of the show, Vicki often talked about her love of “whooping it up.” Whether Vicki was having a hard time and needed to bring more fun into her life, or she wanted to keep the good vibes going, Vicki often repeated this phrase to her friends and co-stars.
Vicki’s favorite time to “whoop it up” and have a few cocktails was on the vacations that the cast takes each year. Vicki thrived on socializing and being part of a group and really enjoyed being in a warm place with a beautiful beach view and plenty of time to relax and have fun.
“It’s Turtle Time!”
Ramona loved drinking Pinot Grigio
In season 3 of The Real Housewives of New York City, the cast was on vacation and went to a bar called The Fat Turtle. Ramona came up with her catchphrase “Turtle Time” and began dancing. Form that point on, Ramona often used this phrase to refer to when she wanted to forget any troubles and concerns, drink Pinot Grigio, and only think about having a great time.
Over time, this became a classic part of RHONY, with viewers expecting Ramona to say these words whenever she was partying. Ramona is known for combining famous sayings like “oil and water” instead of “oil and vinegar” but she really enjoyed saying “Turtle Time.”
“Who Gon’ Check Me, Boo?”
Shereé wasn’t happy with her event planner
In season 2 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Shereé Whitfield was planning a party and didn’t like the way that Anthony Shorter was speaking to her. She famously said “Who gon’ check me, boo?” and it became one of the most unforgettable parts of the franchise. Shereé knew that Anthony wasn’t listening to her and planning the exact party that she wanted and she wasn’t happy about it.
Anthony said “this is my event” and “you need to watch yourself before you get checked” and Shereé had this response. As Shereé told E! News, “I guess I’ve had a couple really iconic moments on the show that people really, really love” and explained that viewers repeat the line when they see her.
“Have Several Seats, Darling.”
This RHOA phrase became well-known
Real Housewives viewers have seen countless arguments on each city that is part of the franchise and sometimes, when the cast members are upset with each other, a famous catchphrase comes out of that conversation. Another catchphrase from RHOA is when cast members tell each other to “have several seats.”
This statement means that the person in question has said something silly or something that doesn’t make any sense and the other cast member wants them to stop talking as it’s frustrating to listen to them. It’s definitely a memorable line.
“I Made It Nice.”
Dorinda wasn’t pleased at Blue Stone Manor
When Dorinda Medley got upset while hosting her co-stars at her Berkshires mansion and said “I made it nice,” it quickly became a fan favorite Real Housewives quote that went down in history. While viewers understood that Dorinda was annoyed that her friends were fighting and ruining the gathering that she put effort and time into, it was hard not to laugh at the way that she phrased this.
This quote has definitely followed Dorinda around ever since as fans love saying it over and over again. It proves how a Housewife can say something in the heat of the moment and have no idea that it will become such a famous line.
“Goodbye Kyle!”
Ken and LVP kicked Kyle out of their home
In season 9, Kyle Richards could tell that her friendship with Lisa Vanderpump was in a shaky place, and she went to Lisa and Ken Todd’s house to talk things out. This ended up being a huge fight that ended with Lisa and Ken telling Kyle to go home.
While this was a serious moment and viewers felt badly about a friendship being ruined, fans couldn’t help but laugh when Ken yelled “Goodbye Kyle!” This became a quotable moment and it’s a catchphrase that people still bring up as Ken’s delivery was so bold, loud and confident. The quote had a light-hearted energy, even though it was a tough time.
“I’m Disengaging.”
Meredith said this phrase often in season 1 of RHSLC
Season 1 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City allowed viewers to get to know a new cast, and Meredith Marks often said “I’m disengaging” when she was in the middle of a fight or didn’t like what someone was telling her. This quickly became a fan favorite RHSLC season 1 quote as Meredith continued to say this phrase.
While it was definitely funny to har Meredith repeat this line, it served a smart purpose as she knew that she wanted to take a moment to pause, reflect and think before getting too upset. There are so many arguments on this franchise that it’s a good idea to do what Meredith does.
“Fancy Pants.”
Tamra started calling Heather this name
Heather DuBrow returned to RHOC in season 16 and fans hadn’t seen her in years, and when she joined in season 7, the other cast members noticed her fabulous sense of style and lifestyle right away. Tamra Judge started calling Heather “Fancy Pants” as she has a taste for the finer things in life and always likes to be sophisticated.
Tamra had good intentions and her catchphrase became part of the fabric of RHOC as she said this quite a few times. Tamra wanted to playfully tease Heather as that’s part of her confident, friendly, fun-loving and social personality.
“Harry Hamlin.”
Lisa Rinna always calls her husband by his first and last name
Lisa Rinna’s best RHOBH quotes are confident and funny as she isn’t scared of saying what she knows needs to be said in each moment. Lisa also has a fantastic catchphrase as she always calls her husband by his full name. Harry Hamlin has become a sweet and heartwarming part of RHOBH, cooking for the cast members and always showing an interest in their lives, and fans have seen more of him over the past few seasons.
Lisa never calls her husband “Harry” and, instead, loves using his full name. It’s light-hearted, charming, and adds some humor to what can be very tense seasons. Even when everyone is fighting, viewers can smile when Lisa says “Harry Hamlin.” It might sound odd if some people called their partner by their full name but in Lisa’s case, it shows her sense of humor as she respects Harry’s place in the industry as a successful actor.
“Get Off My Jock.”
Bethenny said this often during her time on RHONY
Bethenny Frankel said many quotes on RHONY that have now become a significant part of the show’s history. Most notably of all, Bethenny often said “Get off my jock!” when she wanted to be left alone and for someone to respect and understand where she was coming from.
Since Bethenny was so honest on the reality series, viewers could tell what she was feeling in any moment, and when she broke out this catchphrase, it was clear that she was upset or mad and wanted some time to herself.
