I know I've posted about this before, anything spoken with any 'force' is repeated.
makes things interesting when ds repeats things like 'I've told you twice now don't make me say it again' (me, obviously) 'if I tell you to do it, you do it now' (school)
and so on.....
i just assumed when he hear these things often he picks them up.
yesterday we were out and a man nearby was with his two young daughters. He was quite loudly spoken was getting his kids to get their coats on to go. Twice he used the phrase 'which part of now do you not understand'. This morning ds was getting me to tickle him (you know, tickle me, no don't, tickle me hahaha) and he said 'stop mummy, now, which part of now do you not understand'
now I know we all pick up things we hear, but this is so odd. Ds still has SaLT and often finds stringing sentences together difficult. But these 'forceful' phrases come out clear and precise.
maybe it's just that anything spoken loudly or firmly sticks in his head better?
i had a talk with him earlier this week about things he hears that should not be repeated, referring to him telling grandma to 'shut your mouth' (which he now tells me he heard on one particular kids channel!).

I don't have any answers but I'm remembering that, when I was very young, my mother told me that I had been ill and the GP had made a home visit. As the GP was leaving I apparently said loudly 'Good riddance to bad rubbish!' A very dated phrase now but at the time pretty offensive. My mother said she was mortified. I must have heard it somewhere and decided to try it out.

It is called echolalia, if he repeats direct, the day later delayed echolalia, very commen in autistic children. My oldest does it all the time, he talkes a lot but nearly all is echolalia, also repeating sentences from books, dvd's (Mr.Bean and curious george live in this house)etc. I am sure 'normal' children do it as well, with everything it is about the intensity and or it is a passing phase or 'stuck' with the child for a very long time.

Yes I'd forgotten about the echolalia! Ds went through a phase when he was younger of repeating words, copying, muttering the end of sentences while watching TV, like a running commentary. Also if I was reading to him he'd be repeating what I'd just read. He stopped doing it but I guess it's probably part of the same thing. Never thought of that! Doh!!
Seriously, I'm no expert but Ive long been thinking this child has Tourette's! He fits into all the criteria!
Yesterday we drove past a clinic, he said, what's that place, so I said it's a clinic you've been in there before to see a doctor (paed and ent) he said, I really wish I could go back there. I asked him which part of him he would like a doctor to fix and he pointed to his throat. So I asked what he'd like to fix about his throat and he said 'the noises'. Bless him

We get bits of this too: adult expressions repeated slightly out of context and definitely inappropriate from an 8yo.
But you can use it to your advantage too: we have family catch phrases that are more positive -- I'm struggling to think of any now of course -- but where we repeat with the same words and intonation a useful polite phrase for tricky situations. e.g to replace "you idiot!" with "when you do that, I feel really annoyed."

Snooz watched home alone last year, the bit where the boy is watching an old black and white movie...... Can't remember the exact phrase, but for a few weeks he was yelling
Get out of here you filthy animal!
That one got a few odd looks.
A bit in toy story 3.... What the heck!
I allowed him to watch titanic recently (sending him out to fetch me something while I fast forwarded through a few unsuitable parts) as they were doing titanic at school. He's still to be heard saying 'back, back I say'
