Goofy's catchphrases are "gawrsh!" (which is his usual exclamation of surprise and his way of pronouncing ""), along with "ah-hyuck!" (a distinctive chuckle) that is sometimes followed by a "hoo hoo hoo hoo!", and especially the Goofy holler. In the classic shorts, he would sometimes say "Somethin' wrong here" (first heard in "Lonesome Ghosts") whenever he suspected something was not right about the situation he was currently in, or sing a few bars of "The World Owes Me a Livin'" from "The Grasshopper and the Ants" (the first instance of Goofy singing this song is "On Ice").
