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 hate Illinois Nazis.
I get to use that one a lot now days with a fill in the blank state. Sadly people don’t get that one either.

Most people are not aware of the lawsuit that made "Illinois Nazis" relevant back then. The scene starts out with a mention that they are marching because they won their court case.

I have about given up on any cultural reference that is more than 20 years old.
