pet phrase 指一個人很愛說的話, 也就是他說話時常常不自覺說出來的「口頭禪」，不一定有任何高深的涵義，事實上，通常都是很一般的話，例如 No. 或 You know. 或 Oh well.。
基本上，有 pet 在前的詞就代表喜愛的意思, 譬如說 pet student 就是一個老師最寵愛的學生.
catchphrase 是指廣泛被大眾使用的流行語或口號或座右銘，通常是被媒體啟發的，而且壽命很短，例如 Make America great again. (為美國總統的口頭禪) 或 Is that your final answer? (為美國電視節目 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? 的主持人的口頭禪)。後者來說，當此電視節目停播後，大家就漸漸遺忘此口頭禪了。
