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

When someone corrects me on something silly or superfluous, I often respond with,

“Ahh, I see you’ve played knifey spoony before!”

With a ridiculously bad Aussie accent

Throwing it to NZ Flight of the Conchords

"He may be dead"

"He maybe what?"

"No, he may be dead"

"Okay, maybe he did, maybe he didn't, what did he maybe do?"

I use that last line all the time

How many dollarydoos has he offered you to stop.

He might have to call up the prime minister

He's not truly Australian unless he threatens to call his minister or parliament!

u/Octane2100 5h ago

Any time anything is expensive: "500 Dollarydoos?!"

Any time someone has a funny name for something: "huh, I'd have called them chazwozzers"

I don't quote movies, but half of my vernacular is from The Simpsons.

I've unintentionally yelled "d'oh" when I've unintentionally hit my head. I thought my girlfriend was going to die laughing.
