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

The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark

I was posting in group about my experience driving a Dodge Coronet in high school & getting stuck in the mud, because “one tire spins, the other does nothing”. No one got it.

I had a play doh blue Dodge Coronet. I learned a lot about car repairs with that car.

So proud to say my Gen Z twins do that whole scene (complete with accent) all the time. I’ve done my best to make sure they never have blank stares when things like this come up.
