“Yoink!”: first used in “Duffless” and repeated in a number of episodes afterwards, this is usually said when taking or stealing something. George Meyer, who coined the phrase, says he took it from a Flintstones sound effect.

“Cheese-eating surrender monkeys”: Originally said by Groundskeeper Willie (as a substitute French teacher) in “‘Round Springfield,” this phrase has become a popular insult towards the French, especially after the country refused to support the United States in the Iraq War. “Surrender Monkeys” was even used as a New York Post headline regarding a report on the war by an American group, thus making the phrase not just represent the French.
