Day #25: Favourite Buffyverse saying
I assume this means favorite quote? Now that is a tough one. Today, I'll go for "Restless": "I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods
roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones. Now give me back my friends."

That is a tough one. I interpreted that as a phrase that's made it's way into my own vocabulary (rather than a quote, although Restless is filled with them: "I am the blood cry, the penetrating wound" haunts me. Especially as it foreshadows/predicts Tara's death - and Tara is speaking the words.)

And then of course Buffy's speech in BoTN.

The phrases that I've actually used in writing or speech (or just in my head) are "blah blah bitty blah", "bored now", and "I'm paralyzed with not caring very much." (Or is it "BY not caring very much"?)

"Bored now" has definitely made it into my vocabulary (at least, my internal vocabulary). Maybe "I cannot believe that you, of all people, are trying to Scully me." (At least, in my internal conversations with myself). I can't think of any other examples.

I don't remember that second one (the X-files reference)?

It's from "The Pack", when Buffy thinks something supernatural has happened to Xander, and Giles thinks Xander is just being a normal teenage boy.

No wonder I didn't recognize it - I haven't watched most of S1 since last year, thanks!
