Pop culture references.
I make them all the time.
All. The. Time.
It's not about testing people. But it's always great when I drop in a reference and I don't get some dead eyed response. That person gets the reference and responds.
What about you?
All the time.
Movie quotes, pop culture references, and song lyrics.
I used to work at a job that had rows and rows of cubicles. One day I walked by a random cubicle and said "Hey I'm bringin' sexy back." A faceless voice answers from a cubicle a few rows over "go 'head be gone with it." It's soooooo satisfying when someone picks up what you're throwin' down.
That's what I'm talking about!
Yes. I know I'm getting old though. Made a silent Bob reference and got a blank stare and asked "who's Kevin Smith?" Also got "who is Weird Al?" Thrown at me this week. I don't know if I want to live on this planet anymore ?
Weird Al, you say...
"I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps"
One of my favorite lines in any song ever.
That or song lyrics! ??
Both!
Me: Her name is Anh Tran and she dances on the sand.
A couple minutes later...
Coworker: Goddamnit, now I'll have that song stuck in my head all day!
@ghost_warlock Hahaha. Exactly. Oh Anh Tran, Anh Tran dance across the Rio Grande!
No one gets my best ones generally.
I hate Illinois nazis....
