I believe "PremEx Envy" was coined by Camera Guy.

That wonderful PremOz thread seems to indicate that "PremEx Envy" was
originally coined by KrisKringle, and Camera Guy said "Wow, what a great line" or similar words (same thread)

1P:
"PremEx Envy" was coined in FT Chat by CameraGuy and had been used quite a while before the thread on the message board.

When CG replied in that thread, his response was tongue-in-cheek.

My favorite FT quote is found under the signature line used by worldbanker:

"Fly me to the moon, and let me earn alot of miles."

References to US's MetroJet as MetroJunk or GhettoJet always brings a smirk to my face!

My personal favorite was penned by the esteemed Trip Report writer Quiet Lion. In the Tale (while QL was put on hold on the phone line waiting for a UA agent) the recording played,

"Please hold, while we continue to suck."

Okay, I'll cop to have stolen this myself and integrated it into my own personal repertoire. It *IS* a good line and does typify much of the phone-based CS experience no matter who you're calling.

Studley, thanks for the compliment. Idea came while singing some Sinatra in the shower during a HHonors "maid run"- this is where you go and unmake a bed in a different Hilton hotel each night in the same city.

Chexfan, I loved that, ghettojet! However, not a favorite quote, I will have to say that you persuaded me to fly and eventually become Gold on USAir by teaching me about SWUs. Before that, I was afraid to fly USScare!

I have a few new ones. One of them you will see below in my signature line. It's related to the quote below by missydarlin. Both of these were made up in Chat last night. That quote:

"Friends don't let friends play Naked Twister without oil."
