America has had plenty of prolific families, but very few have an influence as potent and enduring as the Kardashians. Since the debut of their hit E! series Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2007, the Kar-Jenner family—Kris, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Rob, Kendall, Kylie, Caitlyn—have unofficially become the faces of pop culture, social media, controversy, etc. There's a reason they say the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder.

Over the last 14 years of sharing their lives with the public on E!, fans have watched Kim Kardashian evolve from Paris Hilton's minion to mogul—along her fellow mogul sister, Kylie—Kendall take the modeling world by storm, Khloe and Kourtney delving into entrepreneurship, and Kris overseeing it all—all while feeding fans iconic phrases, one-liners, and memorable moments every episode. Surely you've uttered “Okurrr” at some point in recent years, but did you realize Khloe Kardashian popularized the term before Cardi took it to a new level? Or maybe you opted for Kourtney's iconic quote, “Kim, there's people that are dying,” when someone overreacted to something trivial. The Kardashian world is expansive, from famous sayings to restaurants to men. In honor of the family's series finale of KUWTK, scroll down for an A-Z guide to all Kardashians’ most iconic moments.



Are you pregnant or just hungry?

quote

If you recall, Khloe and Kylie were pregnant around the same time in 2018. Khloe wanted to give Kylie the spotlight to announce her own pregnancy, but the youngest sister opted not to share the good news with the public. Still, Khloe wanted to keep her pregnancy under wraps until she was showing because she didn't want tabloids to ask if she was “pregnant or just hungry.”


Bible

catchphrase

A term used to emphasize or confirm that you're telling the truth.


Call me when you wanna be honest.

quote

Kourtney used this savage line to end a phone conversation with a lying Scott Disick, her then-boyfriend and father of their three children, Mason, Penelope, and Reign Disick.


Dash Boutique

noun

Who could forget the Kardashian sisters’ fashion and accessories boutique Dash? Originally opened in Calabasas in 2006, the sisters subsequently opened locations in Miami (remember Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami?) and New York (remember Kourtney and Kim Take New York?). What's more, E! even launched another spin-off, Dash Dolls, which followed the boutique's employees as they navigate the city as young professionals.


Earring

noun

In one of the most iconic scenes from KUWTK history, the Kar-Jenners take a family vacation to Bora Bora along with Kim's then-husband Kris Humphries. After Humphries decides to jokingly throw Kim into the ocean, she realizes that her diamond earring is no longer in her ear. This was also the origin of the famous Ugly Crying Face (see below). Kim begins to panic and cries hysterically, but Kylie eventually finds it.


Fact

catchphrase

An alternate way of saying you agree with someone or something.

Get over yourself

catchphrase

A simple phrase used to shut down a self-absorbed narcissist who can't seem to see anyone’s perspective but their own.


Health Nut

noun

A salad shop located in Los Angeles that is frequented by the Kardashian sisters. According to People, the sisters' favorite item to order is the Chinese Chicken Salad.


I'll cry at the end of the day, not with fresh makeup.

catchphrase

Kim was determined not to let any negativity cause her to cry and mess up her makeup, so she hit us with this infamous one-liner. At least now she has an unlimited supply of makeup products to fix any smears.


Jane and Suzanne

noun

Working out is more fun when you're channeling icons like Jane Fonda and Suzanne Somers. When Khloe and Kourtney started to work out at the gym together, they decided to give each other alternative nicknames to spice up their sessions.

“I’m not sure how we decided who was whom but Kourtney’s Jane Fonda and I’m Suzanne Somers,” Khloé told People. "We came up with this when we started working out together because we felt like fitness gurus in our own right."


Kim, there’s people that are dying.

catchphrase

A line used to show someone that what they're overreacting to pales in comparison to what's happening elsewhere in the world. This was another savage line Kourtney told Kim during the unforgettable Bora Bora family trip after Kim lost her $75,000 earrings in the ocean.

Okurrr

catchphrase

An expression used to praise someone or show that you agree. The term has been synonymous with Cardi B since her debut, but Khloe has also helped popularized the term on KUWTK.


Playboy

noun

Just as her star was steadily rising, Kim got the offer to pose for Playboy. As someone who already dealt with public scrutiny for her sex tape, she didn't want to be too exposed in the photos. Kris eventually helped her to be more confident and the photoshoot became one of Kim's most talked-about moments.


Rude

adjective

A word to describe someone who says something offensive or unpleasant.

Todd Kraines

noun

The name of the “old family friend” Scott Disick impersonated to prank Kris. Scott didn't realize that Kraines was in fact a real family friend and ended up meeting Kraines IRL.


Ugly Crying Face

meme

Kourtney has spent seasons mocking Kim's crying face, so much that it became its own meme. Kim took the high road and did what she does best—make money. The face became one of the emojis on her now-defunct Kimoji app.


Vagine trim

catchphrase

Kourtney and Scott shared a lot of intimate moments, but it doesn't get more intimate than your boyfriend shaving your lady parts. A pregnant Kourtney had trouble shaving her own lady parts so she enlisted Scott to help her get the job done. When Khloe walked past the bathroom and asked the couple what they were doing, Kourtney replied, “We're doing a little vagine trim.”


Would you stop taking pictures of yourself? Your sister’s going to jail.

catchphrase

We have Kris Jenner to thank for this quote. On a ride to drop Khloe off at jail for violating probation for her DUI, Kris scolds Kim for snapping photos of herself during such an intense moment.


X-Ray

noun

Following rumors of her having butt implants, Kim decides to get an x-ray of her body to prove it's 100 percent real.


You’re doing amazing, sweetie.

catchphrase

While Kim was posing for her Playboy Magazine shoot in 2007, Kris—ever the supportive momager—reached for her phone to take behind-the-scenes shots of her daughter. In between photos, Kris uttered, “You're doing amazing, sweetie,” thus creating the single greatest quote of all time. She recreated the moment in Ariana Grande's video for “thank u, next.”
