If I could pay Catherine O'Hara to follow me around and narrate my life like Moira Rose [1] from Schitt's Creek [2] for a day, I'd empty my bank account in a heartbeat. Eccentric to a fashion fault (or strength), Moira's, um, unique and extensive vocabulary [3], while often confusing, is part of what makes her character so charming.
If ever I need a laugh or feel like embracing my inner Hollywood-star-gone-town-councilor, all I have to do is remember the time she nonchalantly called David a "disgruntled pelican" and my mood is instantly improved. "Dewdropper" (aka a lollygagger), "frippet [4]," "callipygian [5]," "bedevil [6]," "confabulate [7]," "unasinous [8]," "bombilate [9]," and "pettifogging [10]" — which are all real, by the way — are just a few of the words Moira's managed to slip into my subconscious over the years that make me love her character even more. In honour of the Schitt's Creek finale [11] (which aired on April 7), keep scrolling to relive a few of Moira's best quotes from the show ahead.
