Catchphrases
The characters on Grey's Anatomy speak in a very contemporary way, resulting in unique dialogue. As a result, the show has spawned several catchphrases, a few of which are only used once or a few times. The use is noted in the following form (Season it was first coined, Episode # of that season).
A trend began of "McLabelling" characters or adding "Mc" to other terms, such as "McDreamy" (1.02) as a nickname for Derek Shepherd. 'McDreamy' is the most used, and most quoted McWord in the series, and is used by many fans when talking about Derek Shepherd. Many other instances have occurred throughout the show such as "McSteamy" for Mark Sloan (2.18), "McVet" for Finn Dandridge and "McHottie" for Derek Shepherd's sister, Nancy. Izzie also called Nancy "McBitchy" (3:06). When George is asked to pretend to be Cristina for Meredith, he imitates her by saying, "McDreamy did the McNasty with McHottie... that McBastard", (3.06). When George and Alex were talking about Addison they said "She's McHot" "McYeah She is". The characters often mock their own tendency for "McLabeling", leading to phrases like "McDouchey", (2.14), "McVomit" (2.18), "McGuilty", (3.01) "McSex", (3.09), and "McFricking Code of Silence" (3.09).
Meredith often uses well-known phrases but trails off at the end and replaces the last word with "whatever": "Have fun with your space or whatever" (3.07) "There's too much water under the thing or whatever" (3.07), "You are not my knight in shining whatever" (3.15), and "I had a near-death whatever" (3.18).
The characters often say "seriously", usually at the end of a sentence, as a question or as a pronouncement. On the "Frequently Asked Questions" page on the show's website at ABC.com and the audio commentaries, creator Shonda Rhimes explains that one of the writers, Krista Vernoff, used the saying all the time and it spread to the writing staff, and eventually, to the dialogue.
All the titles are songs! I knew it!!!!!
