> Edit: Oh, I will say “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, Toto,” when in unfamiliar territory, but I don’t think there are human beings that exist (who I would engage in conversation, anyway) who wouldn’t know what I’m talking about. Maybe there’s a seven year old out there who has no idea what that is, but among the rest of us, it’s such an ubiquitous reference that I don’t even consider it dropping a movie quote.

Now you’ve reminded me of the scene in _The Avengers_ where Nick Fury says something about “flying monkeys” and Captain America pops up with, “I got that one!”
