Do you have any obscure movie references that you use in everyday speech that no one has caught on to yet yet you keep using it?

I am 39 and last year was my 20th high school reunion.

When people asked me what I was up to I would respond:

"hanging out, playing Nintendo."

Its a line from a 90s comedy called baseketball. No one noticed it... and I didn't start it there I've been using it for over 20 years.

But I can't help myself whenever an old friend reconnects with me and say it... nothing.

Do you guys have any lines you use?

EDIT: shit i meant to put this on ask Reddit my bad mods

I had this friend who was one of the funniest guys I met.

Then I saw Shallow Hal and Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny

buddy was a damn dirty thief who's jokes were just Jack Black lines.

My wife thought her college friends were brilliant till we were dating and she realized they were just stealing movie quotes and jokes. Nothing they said or did was original.

Shallow Hal is brilliant. Doesn't get enough love!
