I'm sure you can guess at least one.
I did draw attention at work (and a concerned look from a younger team member) when I responded to the spread of such phrases off line with, "Excuse me, but what the Ʃ ?"
Absolutely Fifth Element!
I can speak Spanish but only if I'm not paying attention and you can get me to say something on autopilot. Like when you say "You too" in situations where it makes no sense, like when someone tells you to enjoy your meal. You don't know what you're saying. It's just automatic. Somehow my idiot brain decided to store a language there.
So, it had been a while since I watched John Wick. I figured I'd go ahead and watch at least the first one today. I got to the club scene and wondered "holy hell, what's the body count of this movie." Numbers according to Google.
1. John Wick - 77
2. Robocop, the first ultra-violent movie I ever saw and the movie I compare all bodycounts to - 33
Robocop, the movie I compare all bodycounts to, has less than half the body count of John Wick.

I've been doing a John Wick marathon today. I'm on the forth now where John is trying ot make it to the final duel. All I can see right now is that I want an extended Youtube clip of all the moments John Wick absolutely should not have survived.
Oh yeah, and Dragons Breath is cool AF.

So I just got back from Target. While I was there, I saw a girl riding a kart that...I mean, c'mon! There is no way she should be riding a kart.
I mean, back in my day, if you were a toddler, but still able to walk well...then you were not riding a kart. But that's not even what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about a fully functional riding toddler. I'm not even talking about a younger kid. I'm talking, this bitch who's old enough to be riding the crimson wave is riding the crimson kart.
When I was that age, I never rode the kart. And if I ever had, rest assured I was either trying to film my own episode of Jack Ass, or I was intentionally being publicly humiliated for something bad I did.
So maybe I did have a look on my face. I don't think it was a judgmental look. Okay, maybe a little judgmental, but mostly a "everyone else is seeing this, right? Like, I'm not crazy. You're seeing what I'm seeing right?" And she gives a look back at me.
So now we're having a whole conversation with looks alone.
"Get your lazy ass out of that kart! What's wrong with you?"
"Yeah, old man! I'm riding a kart. You got a problem with that? We gonna have to throw down?"
"Bitch, if you have the capability to back up that look you're giving me, you're just proving my point!"

If I knew I'll never get to retire I wouldn't have given up the kart so quickly either.
I just saw a music reaction to Highway to Hell. It starts out with the reactor saying "I swear I've probably heard this before."
I'm sitting there like, "Yeah, it's called every movie ever!"
Like, seriously, not even joking, if you consider that any one movie would probably only play a small part of the song, if you took every movie to ever use Highway to Hell in its soundtrack, you've still probably heard the entire song before!

I know I've heard it but I actually can't think of any movies in my collection that have it.
Had a surprise this evening, went out to my garage to get my bike out and go to a local takeaway for some food but before I went, I was moving a bottle to near the door for grabbing when I got back, as I was opening up the packing that contains the bottles, there was the sound of meowing, when I located the source, I found my next door neighbour's cat looking at me and meowing as if he was filling a complaint about being shut in the garage, we guess, he been in there for about three and a half hours, stuck in when I came back from work and from what my dad said, he been doing this on a bit of a regular basis this week, but then being a orange and white cat, he pretty much fits the mould of being a inquisitive cat, but hopefully this experience taught him a lesson about going into places with one entrance and one exit! It didn't take to long to get him to come out, after I switched on the light and gave him a path, he was able to get out while knocking down a can of WD40! I know the cat's name but he not exactly very sociable with me, thou that could change a bit this Christmas as his family going away and the places that look after cats are full, so we'll be taking care of him and their house, so he'll likely warm up to us when he knows we are feeding him, the family use to have a different cat a few years ago, but they put him down due to health reasons, but then the family that lived there prior to the current family had a cat as well, so I known cats to live in that house most of my life and all of them get to come and go as they please!
I don't hate pickles on burgers but I do dislike how they're like two or three concentrated bites of pickle out of the whole burger instead of contributing to the overall flavor of the burger.
So a teen was riding a kiddie cart, just being dumb. Just b/c it's something you wouldn't do doesn't mean you have to treat it so aggressively. I'm sure no decent teen has ever done dumb things that their elders wouldn't have.
Yeah, that probably did come off more aggressive than I intended. I didn't actually have that conversation with her. That would have been a viral YouTube "this man's going to jail" type thing right there. I just raised an eyebrow and moved on.
But yeah, this wasn't some "haha, look at me, I'm being a dumb ass teen, haha" type thing. She was legit just sitting in that thing having her mother push her around like a little child.

*shrug* Maybe she has mental health issues. Maybe her mom is coddling her. Maybe she really was just being a brat. We don't know the circumstances.
I know you didn't say anything to her, but all the "bitch"es, the snap judgement, and outrage over something that, in the end, isn't hurting anyone was alarming. I realize that some of that might've been exaggerating to seem funny, but it sure didn't read that way.
