If my friend has a "signature phrase" I would tell him that's HIS phrase. So whenever I want to hear him say it again, I would say something like:
"Hey Eddie! Say your phrase! Say your phrase!"
We call that a "catch phrase" too because it's "catchy"
If you don't know what "catchy" means, it's what makes a word or phrase sound interesting and stand out in a special way.
Maybe it sounds funny, like every time your friend comes over he says hello in a strange but funny way so that would be his "catch phrase".
私の友人に"signature phrase"=口癖があったら 、私は彼にその口癖を教えるでしょう。 だから私は彼がまたそれを言うのを聞きたいときはいつも、私は次のように囃し立てます。
「Hey Eddie! Say your phrase! Say your phrase!!
こういうのを"catch phrase"とも言います。
Catch phraseのcatchの形容詞"catchy"は、耳障りがよくて面白いフレーズで、状況で際立つという意味があります。
その友達が、来るたびにちょっと変な口調でHelloといってきていたら、彼のcatch phraseはhelloといえるでしょうね。

"That's definitely your favorite saying!" - again an expression or phrase used often. (most common)
When referring to someones overuse of a word or phrase, this can be expressed by saying;
"Dan has a habit of saying he'll be on time" - the inference here that Dan is often late.
その人の好きな表現であったりするmottoは、その座右の銘を表します。"That's definitely your favorite motto!"それ自分の座右の銘だよね。
"That's definitely your favorite saying!"このようにexpressionやフレーズという言葉もよく使われます。

EG John keeps using a repeated word when he speaks. A 'cliche' or 'hackneyed' word/phrase refers to old fashioned or dated expressions that are predictable or have been over-used.
一般的なことなのか、もしくはもしくは個人がランダムなフレーズを繰り返しているのかによります。 ''A repeated word/ phrase'は、個人に対して使われます。例えば、 John keeps using a repeated word when he speaks. A 'cliche' , hackneyed' word/phrase とは、古くて使い古された表現のことを言います。
