Anthony Bridgerton leaned back in his leather chair, and then announced, "I'm thinking about getting married." Benedict Bridgerton, who had been indulging in a habit his mother detested–tipping his chair drunkenly on the back two legs–fell over. Colin Bridgerton started to choke. Luckily for Colin, Benedict regained his seat with enough time to smack him soundly on the back, sending a green olive sailing across the table. It narrowly missed Anthony's ear. .Julia Quinn

The above is one of my real life examples of saying the phrase with the most shock value is, "Hey, I am thinking about getting married." I used it recently at a party with my family and friends, and every one was so shocked that no one could find their voice for a few minutes. I have also used it in class with my students when I wanted to get their attention after they were being rather disrespectful. I got this idea from all of you who have written advice on your blogs how to say this phrase. So thank you for all the advice. I will be posting more of these phrases soon with different meanings.
