I told a group of students that they’d all be able to be successful in a task but one could impress me loads and move onto a successful solo career like Beyonce leaving Destiny’s Child.

The blank looks I got meant I had to explain that Beyonce had not arrived in the music world on her own.

I’ll always reply to hearing the word ‘question’ with most of the first verse of Independent Women. I know I am not alone in this.

My first example of “he can’t see without his glasses!!!”

  • It rings a bell but I can’t place it
  • Get a fucking life pops

Does anyone remember the “ooooh, new shooooes?!” Clerks advert from like … ten years ago? I still do that whenever someone has new shoes - it has the benefit of being both outdated and pretty damn niche so not a single person has ever understood what I was getting at :man_shrugging:

I had a housemate at university named Al Barnett, who is to this day known as ‘shoes’ because of us singing ‘the shoes on my feet, Al Barnett!’ at him around the house.

I quite often respond to modern women talking about their independence with a reference to paying telephone bills and automo bills.

Lots of ancient Scouse ones because my fam are all from Liverpool. Invariably they refer to old radio and tv adverts from the 50s and 60s, “Gone for a Burton” for when something is lost, broken, missing. "Well i’ll go to the-foot-of our stairs for something you’re meant to find exciting but don’t. “In like Flynn” which meant Erol Flynn; old-time 40s screen heart throb, meaning someone getting a new girlfriend or expanded to mean just being lucky generally. Also something being “A pig’s foot in the morning” when you’ve bashed your head or bruised yourself or whatever.
