What Do Berkeley People Say?

The Internet video trend of capturing a community's catchphrases has come to Berkeley. What would you add to the city's phrase book? Let us know in the comments.

It all started with a video compilation of things girls say and has since spawned into a Internet phenomenon. Some of the most popular videos (here's a list from Mashable.com) target web developers, hipsters, and even cats. 

Inevitably, the "Sh*t People Say" trend made its way to Berkeley. At least three videos have been made in attempts to capture common Berkeleyan phrases, like:

"I have to go take my unicycle into the shop."

Or how about the things that Berkeley students DON'T say?

"The homeless people here are not crazy at all."

"Yeah, I'll take a flyer."

"It was amazing. The protest had such a clear message."
