After over a decade of making content, Josh's videos have recorded an uncountable number of verbal gaffs, mispronunciations, and drunken sayings. Because of the sheer volume of content, it is impossible to keep up with new Cobraisms for anyone but the most dedicated followers.
Josh has his favorite sayings that he will use any chance he can, and on rare occasion a new saying will be added to his repertoire. Josh can be highly impressionable, especially by his favorite creators, and will reuse some of their talking points or turns of phrase. Because Josh may not understand the meaning of what he's repeating, it is not uncommon for him to jumble up the words, creating new, nonsensical sayings.
Some notable types of Cobra-isms are *catchphrases* that he will continuously use that have become ingrained in Cobraverse culture. *Legendary pearls of wisdom* need no explanation, because there is no explanation that could possibly make them seem normal. *Mangled phrases and sayings* of both common and rare idioms, all mixed together. Boy hears something, and like a parrot, often doesn't understand the meaning behind the words, but unlike parrot, is unable to memorize the precise saying, so ends up completely butchering the meaning.
