You mean it was O P D?

That settles it. I'm out of the loop.

Pro wrestling has contributed a few that come to mind:
-- Macho Man's "Whoa Yeaaaaaaaaah"
-- Austin's "{your name here} 3:16 says ..."
-- NAO's "Oh you didn't know? "
-- Flair's "Wooo" and "To be the man ... you gotta beat the man"

Did you see when Reggie Williams did a spinaroonee (sort of) in the JAX-WAS game?

That amused me greatly.

Edit: I'd ad the DX chop as a non-verbal cultural reference.

Maple Leafs · 11-07-2006, 08:37 AM

On an obvious screwup: "Juuust... a bit outside."

Although I missed Williams tribute to Booker T, you reminded me of DDP's Diamond Cutter gesture which was popular at the time. I saw it done at the pro, college,and high school level.

Go to about the 1:30 mark.

It's not a full spinaroonee, but I'm pretty confidant it's a nod to Booker T.

I was rather proud of my wife last week when she answered a "surely you jest" work email with, "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."

Awesome movie.

Subby · 11-07-2006, 12:57 PM

"Today was a good day..."

which results in various thirty-something suburban-bred white people saying stuff like...

"I didn't have to use my AK!"

"Drunk as hell but no throwin' up..."

"Messed* around and got a triple-double..."

etc...

*YO! MTV RAPS version

Help. I've fallen and I can't get up.

MJ4H · 11-07-2006, 01:06 PM

No one ever says kiss my grits anymore. The best one I read in this thread was the 'pretty sneaky sis' one. As soon as I read that I was overcome with so much nostalgia my knees buckled.

Pumpy Tudors · 11-07-2006, 01:09 PM

I can't be the only one on this board who calls his girlfriend "Penfold" from time to time when I'm angry. Perhaps it is odd to use Danger Mouse references with a loved one. I shall ask the therapist about that.

My brother and I have some strange subsets of references. For instance whenever we think something is ridiculous, we will cry out (phonetically) "RU-BISH!" in a bad Richard Pryor imitation.

Now, if you'd ever seen "Bustin' Loose" on TBS...and TBS when it was Channel 17 in Atlanta only, not "Very Funny," ...then you'd get that. This was a result of some bad overdubbing that we have continued to use some 25 years later.

"Gonna be showin her my 'O' face"

Larry Johnson still does that. It's apparently something rap-related (Jay-Z?) and I think at some point DDP was actually trying to sue over it. But then the manager at Dairy Queen told him to get back to work.

Someone here owes me two dollars...

I WANT my two dollars...

QuikSand · 12-06-2006, 10:11 AM

Two additions (from the TV commercial file) from Mrs Q:

"When can I be a client?"

"That's something my body needs anyway."

Toddzilla · 12-06-2006, 10:49 AM

Whenever my wife and I go shopping, and we see some strange store for the first time, I always say "Baby clothes...this mall has everything."

Toddzilla · 12-06-2006, 10:52 AM

Dola-

My current group at work a moth ago went through the 5th or 6th name change in just over a year, and the agreed upon acronym was SMOD (which stands for a bunch of industry jargon). I lobbied hard to get the name to be more brand-centric, and won, so we are now SCMODS.

MikeVic · 12-06-2006, 11:06 AM

Anything from like 98-04 I'm missing, but now with kids I'm starting to get some of the new ones.

"Ker-chow!" is the big one with my kids now.

Warhammer · 12-06-2006, 01:41 PM

Another fun one with the wife:

Yo she-bitch, let's go.
