“Right here, right now” Any reference at all to dwarves. That makes seeing certain movies with certain friends next to impossible. ---

A few of ours that have their distant origins in movies: “Phoar! Give us some of that goat’s piss mouthwash!” (_Hercules Returns_) “I kill you!” (_Bad Boys_) “Ass-licker! Nipple-biter! Nya nya nyah!” (_Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalow_) “Man-whore!” (sigh, _Deuce Bigalow_ again) I could go on all night. My group of closest friends has been together since we were eight so we’ve a huge stock of in-jokes. The non-movie ones have pretty complicated origins, so I’ll save y’all. “And… I’m spent!” (_Austin Powers_) ---

In honor of my college non-Western art professor, who had to comment on everything that was taller than it was wide: **Phallic Symbol!** (This one is contagious; everyone who hears the full story starts seeing Phallic Symbols everywhere :eek: ) And in honor of my Russian history professor, who had a habit of going off on fascinating tangents while talking a mile a minute, we cannot eat beef Stroganoff in this house without commenting: “Sour cream is the essence of _all_ fine Slavic cooking!” ---

Hehehehe, I have a ton. Little brother: “I like pie!” Me: “I am NOT amused!” (said while laughing or smiling) My (former) friend: “ARMS!” “LANNY!” ---

Here’s one that almost NOBODY thnks is funny, besides me and a few friends, of course. “Ascanio spread attack!” A thousand points, adjusted for inflation, to the first to know what an Ascanio spread is. ---

**"Does it have a string attached to it?"** will absolutely cause convulsions among a group of friends who have known each other forever. Mike, who now can’t stop laughing. Good thing I’m here alone 🙂 ---

“It’s a sign! We’re gonna make state!” Recently, with different friends, anything related to the location of Lebanon. -Loopus ---

“Euphemism!” “Yeah, your mind is pure as snow. The plowed snow in the gutter.” (always in reference to me. Humph.) Hmm, most of our jokes are references to our high school band director, so they really aren’t too funny to the rest of the world. jessica ---

“Bad rock and roll…” -Said any time someone is telling a story amidst a group of people, and has to start over more than twice. (A trillion, bazillion points to whoever catches that reference. It’s not movie related) “Our situation has not improved.” -Has to be said in a bad Sean Connery impression “So…whoever knew that the cook was involved…killed her?” -Said after a long, complicated story Any mention of monkeys will send me and my friend Rebecca off into gales of laughter. Said at my friend’s band rehearsals: “Jase, you don’t get to vote. You’re just the singer. It’s not like you have a JOB in this band.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Skerri \* > \*\*“I’m a dancer!” > It has to be said properly to get the total effect. And there’s only one person that I know on this board that would get the reference right off the bat, but he lurks too much to post about it. \*\* Would that be a reference to an SNL film featuring John Belushi visiting the Not Ready for Prime Time graveyard? “Bela Lugosi dance.” “Mystical white lines of protection.” “It was a statue of a god. I threw it down an airshaft so I wouldn’t have to love it.” And a related reference, “There isn’t an airshaft big enough.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/things-you-and-your-friends-say-to-each-other-thats-funny-only-to-you/99582.md?page=2)
