Transwiki:Culturally significant words and phrases from Family Guy

Family Guy Wiki, your fan-created Family Guy resource.

Family Guy, an animated television series, has used and coined many words and phrases for humorous effect. The most famous example might be Quagmire's "giggity," elaborated by many repetitions and sometimes terminated with "goo," or a single "giggity" followed by "awwwright..."; this particular variation was the number 3 ring tone for the week ending February 7, 2007.[1]

Peter's use of the word "sideboob" in the episode "PTV" inspired the creation of the website www.sideboob.org ([1]) which posts sideboob pictures of singers, actresses and models. The term has also acquired widespread use in Internet entertainment tabloids.

[edit] Neologisms

The show's writers have come up with some new words, and in some cases they've promoted existing neologisms and are sometimes wrongly credited with these (for example, "chumba-wumba" and "shipoopi").
