That’s what the hard core fans of Firefly/Serenity refer to themselves as. Two of the main characters were soldiers fighting against the evil Alliance and part of their uniforms were brown coats. There, I’ve said too much.

From the TV show Firefly and the movie Serenity that followed, Browncoats (named for the long brown dusters they wore) were the losing side in an interstellar war. The term has been adopted to refer to loyal, vocal fans of Firefly and Serenity and their creator, Joss Whedon.
I see the problem…no Quicktime at work.
Not a pop culture reference, but the
It’s a good thing they never made a sequal to X (when everyone knows they did).
Gaah, that annoys the Hell out of me. It isn’t funny, and adds nothing.
*Just a reminder that in terms of cliches and obscure web references, there are things a lot more tiresome than the Simpsons.
I am officially tired of “I Love Lamp” and most of the quotes that came from Old School or Anchorman. If you are a college student you might notice on Facebook.com everyone in their profiles seems to have “I’m sorta a big deal” (Anchorman) I don’t know if I got that completely right. The new Lazy Sunday SNL skit has potential to be overdone but I’m still amused at this point.
Also on the topic of Facebook and myspace, I’m officially tired of photographs of people holding up a bottle of liquor and pointing at it or grinning like an idiot. We get it, you’re wasted and therefore awesome.
Chuck Norris “facts.” I haven’t seen too much of this on the SDMB, but they’re everywhere, and they’re annoying.
Hey Marc, that reminds me of a funny Simpsons’ sequence between Homer and Billy Corgan.
BG: “Hi, I’m Billy Corgan. Smashing Pumpkins.”
HS: “I’m Homer Simpson, smiling politely.” 
D’OH!
And I’m not surprised that Frostillicus is in the same camp as I am when it comes to Simpsons quotes.
I’m RICK JAMES bitch!!!
Interplanetary, not interstellar. Is intrastellar a word? It should be.
Well excuuuuuuuse me, Princess!
Yeah, I really hate the Farkisms I come across here; “_____ ensued,” “in other news,” etc.
So the plan is:
- Eliminate worn-out cliches
- ???
- Profit!
yes?
All those and
Monty Python. Those get more irritating with length, and Python fans are easily capable of quoting whole sketches verbatim.
Futurama
Dave Chapelle
Larry the Cable Gay
SDMB-centric catch phrases. You know what they are already.
Oh, God, you’ve hit upon my Facebook pet peeve.
I’m a really nice person, but I have one standard: if someone from high school, junior high, back in the day, et cetera tries to make me a friend, and they have an “OMG I’M WASTED” picture, they get the reject button. Strangely enough, I have no friends from college who put up these kind of numbskull pictures, but if you run a search on my high school, about one in five alumni are either taking a hit off the ol’ beer bong, grinning at a liquor bottle, or chugging a brewsky. :rolleyes:
(Oh, and my professional profile says “Waste of Space.” There are only so many you can choose from, and yes, one of them is “Kind of a Big Deal.”)
Not if you’re Zaphod…
Oh wow I was coming back to this thread just to mention how I’m officially tired the Rick James skit. I work for Baker & McKenzie, an old conservative law firm, as a legal secretary and the other day I heard someone from their desk say “IM RICK JAMES, BITCH!!” If a 50 year old paralegal in Chicago is saying this at work, its more than officially over.
Additionally, lets add Napoleon Dynamite in the mix if it hasn’t been mentioned already. Next person I see wearing a “Vote for Pedro” tshirt is going to get the running tackle on the street from me.
Amen brother! We get it. ND is about a town in Idaho populated by functioning retards caught in some kind of time warp.
