So when I was growing up, we watched a lot of movies. The good movies we watched several times just so we could pick up all the good lines in them. For example, I saw Dumb & Dumber in the movie theater 6 times. You may be saying, who sees a movie 6 times in the theater?! Well, here's the two part answer. First, that just shows I have great taste in movies because it's a classic and secondly where I grew up there wasn't a whole lot else to do.
Anyway, back to the point I'm trying to get across here. Conversations between myself and my friends usually consists of at least 1 movie quote, in context, for every 6 sentences spoken. Wait, let me specify here, conversations between myself and my MALE friends usually consists of at least 1 movie quote, in context, for every 6 sentences spoken. When girls try and follow these conversations, they get lost very quickly.
What is it about guys that we just understand each other when we quote movie lines? Girls require explanations for what the movie was, the situation it was said in and who said it. This is a total buzzkill, it kills the conversation and all fluidity is gone.
So to the female readers (or guys that cannot follow conversations with movie quotes in them), don't ask questions about where that line was from if a conversation is going on that you may be dropping in on or a part of. Just smile and make it look/sound like you are following the conversation. Kind of like how we (males) smile and nod our heads like we're paying attention to you when you're telling a story about you and your friends and all the feelings involved.
So there's my two cents. Wolf out!!
