Hausenism

Coined by Twitter users @ malakaicyan and @ sadsimpwrestle and inspired/popularized by the linguistic mannerisms of self-described “very nice, very evil” professional wrestler Danhausen, “Hausenisms” refer to the wrestler’s peculiar bastardizations of phrases and names.

These are similar to Trailer Park Boys’ “Rickyisms,” with the exception that Hausenisms take place almost exclusively in the realm of professional wrestling.

More Hausenisms can be found on Danhausen’s YouTube page, “Love That Danhausen.”
“That’s nothing to shake a fist at.” –Danhausen, as opposed to saying the proper figure of speech, “nothing to shake a stick at.” The “Hausenism” here is the intentional botching of the “correct” phrase.

“Here is my close personal friend, Chris Judas—‘Jericho’ to some.” –Danhausen, on professional wrestler Chris Jericho, whose entrance song is called “Judas.”

“Swearing is bad. Cursing is fine.” –Danhausen

Danhausen also refers to pro wrestler CM Punk, formerly of WWE, as “Pepsi Man” because of Punk’s Pepsi brand shoulder tattoo.
