What was your favorite line from "A Christmas Story"?

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

Mine was:
“Only I didn’t say, ‘Fudge.’ I said THE word, the big one, the queen mother of dirty words, the ‘F-dash-dash-dash’ word!”

 

[bayrooster]

Wicked Witch of the West character: I'll get you, my pretty! What a tasty little boy!
Ralphie: Don't bother me, I'm thinking.

It reminds me of the fourth of July.

Fragile...must be Italian.

Several... The soft warm glow of electric sex...It's smiling at me!.... My old man wove a tapestry of obscenities that's still hanging in the air over lake Michigan... some folks are baptist, others catholic, my dad was an Oldsmobile man. I have more - almost have that movie memorized

 

[Uscg1984]

"He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master".

 

[Bubba Fett]

That movie is just one solid block of favorite lines! Jean Shepherd's narration should have won a Major Award!

Fudge.

"We kids knew better, it was better not to get caught!"

 

[sclawman77]

So many:

"Randy lay there like a slug. It was his only defense."

"I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay"

"My father wove a tapestry of obscenity that, as far as we know, is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan."

Schwartz created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the double dog dare and going straight for the throat!.... honors and benefits! All before the age of 9.

 

[Rob Hawk]

Whoopie, a zeppelin. A whiff of ozone hung in the air. You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

 

[1vagamecock]

Get my plumbers helper.

 

[1vagamecock]

With all the dignity the old man could muster he gathered up the remains of his major award. Later that night, alone, he buried it next to the garage. I was never sure but I could almost swear I heard taps playing....gently.

 

[Gamecock Disciple]

"The soft glow of electric sex in the window" as Ralphie stared in amazement and caressed his hands up and down the hoisery leg lamp ....

 

[HI Cock1]

"I can't put my arms down!"

I distinctly remember having a red snow suit (born in Chicago and lived there til age 8) just like that one. My poor mother hated it more than I did because it was impossible to get an 8 year old to sit still long enough to get it on.

You started it off with what I am guessing is most people’s favorite line. But as BubbaFett said, it’s a movie of solid lines. If you did indeed cover the general #1 then we have to move on to favorite’s 2 & 3. I’m assuming at that point the whole movie just about gets quoted.
The “breech of etiquette” is gold too but already claimed.

So for an honorable mention not yet named- the farr rraahhrraahhrraahh gets me every time.
