Honestly, we've not been especially original in our phrasing as of late. A pretty good chunk of our conversation involves movie quotes. The main culprits are usually 'Dumb and Dumber,' 'Get Smart,' and 'The Emperor's New Groove.' Yes we're all adults. No, we've never matured.
We have adopted the word 'Lloyd' to mean 'gag.' This, of course, comes from the scene in 'Dumb and Dumber' wherein Lloyd (Jim Carrey) watches Harry (Jeff Daniels) drive off from Mary's (who plays Mary?) house and tries to make himself throw up.
So, if you're ever out in public and hear someone say 'Eww, you made me Lloyd' accompanied by a gagging noise and/or face, that's probably one of my family members.
Side note: I found the movie 'FernGully' in the $5 bin at K-Mart, so we've been quoting that one quite a bit this week as well. To wit:
"Human tails? Humans don't have tails. They have big, big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts. They walk around going, 'Hi, Helen!!'" (Robin Williams as Batty Koda)
Yeah, we've renamed a lot of people Helen lately.
