For a snowy day only!
Our family has always enjoyed (usually older) movies or DVDs that we watched when our kids were growing up. And as a result, we use some movie phrases all the time in our regular interactions ....
"Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy ..." (Outlaw Josie Wales) or "How often does a man get a compliment like THAT?" (Fiddler on the Roof) and a hundred others.
Lately, we realized that there are certain single WORDS that, if we use them, we say them with the same accent, expression, and intonation as from the movie or DVD they were taken from. Always.
For example, we can't say "funny" without saying it like Major Payne (" ... it makes me feel all FUNNY!"), or if we say "motivate", it has to be in Darth Vader's voice from "...perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them ....". Or if we say "sausage", it has to be like Samuel Johnson in Blackadder III realizing he's left it out of his dictionary (".... saus-AAAGE!).
So here's about 25 others. Does anyone recognize any of these words from movies that are said with a particular accent or emphasis that our comedic family might have picked up?
