Okay, let me preface this by saying that I work in a medical transcription department and on occasion transcribe radiology reports. One of the rads is a sloppy dictator and slurs a lot of words, so he says A-B-normal" to clarify he means abnormal, not normal. It freekin' KILLS me. I wonder if he's seen Young Frankenstein.

It's not that big of a deal because docs do say stuff like "A-B-duction" or "A-D-duction," but "A-B-normal" always makes me laugh. Sort of like the whinnying when Frau Blucher's name is mentioned.

Though "I didn't catch that" was the best one when taken in context:

Gene Hackman, as the Blind Man, tells the monster, "My name's Harold. What's yours?"
The monster replies, "ARRRRGGGHHH!"
The Blind Man says, " I didn't catch that."

Also--when taken in context: "WHAT??" (When "Inspector Kemp's" accent gets so heavy, even his followers have no clue what he's saying, and the whole town shouts "WHAT?" in unison)

Igor: There, wolf. There, castle.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Why are you talking that way?
Igor: I thought you wanted to.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, I don't want to.
Igor: [shrugs] Suit yourself. I'm easy
