How Troublesome and What a Drag

Like Naruto's Dattebayo catchphrase, "How troublesome" (面倒くせい mendoukusei) is Shikamaru Nara's catchphrase. In the English dub, this is worded as "What a drag." Shikamaru purposefully uses this phrase to toss his point across that he's the type that would rather watch clouds all day than pick a fight, especially with an opponent of the female gender.

The Arabic dub of the show uses وجع رأس or Wajjaa' Raas (Headache).
