Mary Poppins popularized the phrase and musical sounds of ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!’ Known for the witty humor of Dick Van Dyke and musical sounds of Julie Andrews, here is a look at some of the best Mary Poppins sayings.
“Close your mouth please, Michael. We are not a codfish.”
“First of all, I would like to make one thing clear: I never explain anything.”
“He knew, the moment he opened his eyes, that something was wrong but he was not quite sure what it was.”
“I hate being good.”
“Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, in the most delightful way!”
“The same substance composes us–the tree overhead, the stone beneath us, the bird, the beast, the star–we are all one, all moving to the same end.”
“There’s the whole world at your feet. And who gets to see it but the birds, the stars, and the chimney sweeps.”
“Though we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they’re rather stupid.”
“What do you get when you feed the birds? Fat birds.”
“With your feet on the ground you’re a bird in flight with your fist holding tight to the string of your kite.”
“You know, you can say it backwards, which is docious-ali-expi-istic-fragil-cali-rupus, but that’s going a bit too far, don’t you think?”
