You know those programmes and films that you love so much you can’t help but quote them in everyday life? Well it turns out everyone has one of those.
That much became apparent when Twitter user @ultrabrilliant asked the question: “What’s a phrase you’ve picked up from a TV show, film, or whatever that you use regularly?”
With that in mind here are 13 of the best – how many of these make it into your day-to-day?
1. Arrested Development
What’s a phrase you’ve picked up from a TV show, film, or whatever that you use regularly? I say ‘well that was a freebie’ to myself when something convenient happens, from Arrested Development.
2. Peep Show
Also, ‘a massive drink’ from Peep Show, describing a large amount of booze.
3. The Simpsons
