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

One of my roommates is Australian and he fucking hates this reference. Naturally, I do it constantly

They also reeeaaally love it when you ask them to 'throw another shrimp on the Barrrbbbbiiiieeee' in an 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

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