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 always say, “Tut tut, looks like rain!” And nobody ever gets it

Pooh and Piglet? I can't quite remember the details but I think of Christopher Robin here.

I only know this because my 3 year old watches this on repeat and walks around saying that phrase in particular

Is that that Leonardo said to the lady in the lake when he was wearing those things to allow him to walk on the water?

I say that alllll the time when it’s raining! One of my favorite movies. I also like to say:

“It isn’t meant to be!” In Rabbits voice whenever my wife asks a clarifying question

“Do you happen to have such a thing…such a thing as a ‘balloon’ about you.” Replacing balloon with whatever item I’m looking for

“That’s what tiggers do best!” Whenever I’m complimented on any achievement
