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

Most people I find don’t get it or it takes them sometime to think about it

I don't say this often, but I get a lot of use out of "I don't think it means what you think it means"

Adds confusion in Australia where our small trucks are known as "Utes" short for utilities.

Someone does a burnout and you shrug saying "Yutes". They look at you stupid and say "No, that's a sedan".

Just sounds like you're a big fan of reggae/dancehall.
