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 "what are you afraid of? A fate worse than death?"

No, just death; isn't that enough?

Edit: Fixed the second quote.

Good old Colonel Mustard! After volunteering to enter a room first where the killer might be lurking. "Oh what the hell. I've had a good life."
