List of Cobraisms

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.

Catchphrases

Josh has a handful of phrases that he will continuously use that have become ingrained in Cobraverse culture.

The phrase	The meaning
“That's what's up”	Often abbreviated to “TWU”. In regards to something cool/good happening. The opposite can be also true by saying “That's most definitely not what's up,” abbreviated as “TMDNWU.”
“That's most definitely what's up”	abbreviated to “TMDWU”. See above.
“I ride bike, weather permittable.”	Josh occasionally rides his bike when the weather permits it.
“I'M SICK OF IT!”	Self-explanatory. Heard after/during major tantrums, like getting swatted.
“I didn't do it intentionally!”	A phrase often used to weasel out of accountability, such as damaging his old apartment or accidentally mixing up the teas at Wendy's.
“'Toobz”	YouTube.
“But I digress…”	Our King gets off topic sometimes.
“Not a sponsor”	Said after saying something good about any product.
“Between the lips, to the liver and to our hips.”	Presages drinking something alcoholic.
“So mote it be, in the witches circle.”	I'm using my magic powers to make it happen.
“Trust and believe!”	Do not question me, said the pathological liar.
“Happy Easternoth”	Equinox. Said in celebration of Christmas, although Equinox is not in December.
“Half glass mentality of life”	In contrast to half-full or half-empty dispositions, Josh says he prefers to be entirely neutral.
“Near distant future”	Used to refer to an indeterminate amount of time, but sure to happen.
“Here's the thing of it, slick!”	Josh uses this to denote when he's “tellin' it like it is”.
“Irony”, “Ironic” or “Deliciously ironic.”	Josh loves to use the term ironic to refer to coincidental happenstances, and deliciously ironic to denote that something is not true of himself, but he believes is factual of the trolls. Despite his frequent usage of the term, rarely is he describing a true example of irony.
“Coming in nicely…”	Josh frequently used this to talk about things in the works. Often they do not come to fruition.
“After 5 o'clock” or “It's the weekend”	Despite not having a job, Josh loves to use the phrases to justify taking the edge off and/or get absolutely plastered.
“80 percent British”	Josh believes himself to be of British descent, and will remind the audience when he uses British slang or swears.
“Congealing”	Used heavily in several videos during the Cooking with Cobra era, he believes it to be a catch-all term for ingredients combining, emulsifying, or thickening.
“It is what it is”	A very half glass way of dealing with situations.
“Youtube Poop”	A phrase common in the early days of YouTube to refer to edits of shows and videos in an often non-sensical and absurd manner. Josh, however, uses this to refer to anyone editing of his videos, such as BiteSizeCobraVids.
“Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttt”	A gravely drawn out “but” provides a seamless segue to the next thought. Cobes took this from Terrence Popp.

Mangled phrases and sayings

Common and rare ones, 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.
