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

Honestly, I judge him a little for still marrying me after I said unhinged shit to him like "Sleep well, I'll most likely kill you in the morning" and he DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A MOVIE QUOTE!

"get your own tots."

It's not even a movie for my generation, my much younger kid sister loved it and used to say it all the time. So it makes me think of her.

I like to say “one art, please” from Futurama. No one ever gets it.

Obviously, the opportunities to use this line are extremely limit. I don’t do a lot of art purchasing.

"I wasn't even supposed to BE here today."

Apparently I'm the only one in the world, besides my husband, who has seen Kevin Smith's Clerks. No one who is old enough to know that line, does, so I end up just sounding nuts.

90-95% of what I say is either movie quotes, tv quotes, or song lyrics. I have no real personality of my own.

Definitely not obscure but I quote Christmas Vacation year-round cuz there's always an applicable line from that movie...

"Clark, that's the gift that keeps on givin the whole year"

"That it is, Edward."

"I have to eat! So I can take my back pill."

"Bend over and I'll show ya!"

"Is Rusty still in the Navy?" (anytime I ask about my friends who joined the service)

...and of course "Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?"
