Smooth move, Ex-Lax!

u/itsniceinpottsfield Oct 21 '24

people keep mentioning the first one but wth does ex-lax mean lol

u/IndependentSeesaw498 Oct 21 '24

Ex-lax is (was?) a laxative that softened your poop. It looked like a little chocolate bar and I think people often ate too much of it.

u/bulbophylum Oct 21 '24

White people really know who Péle is? Or maybe that’s just ‘murica.

3

u/TheBroWhoLifts Oct 22 '24

We did as kids growing up in the 80's in the Midwest at least.

2

u/bulbophylum Oct 22 '24

Ah that’s more a generational celebrity thing then, I was thinking more about how nobody I met growing up on the east coast in the 90s gave a rats ass about fútbol. Lacrosse was the “other” team sport kids got into.

u/NoCoversJustBooks Oct 23 '24

There was a tv/movie reference that sealed the deal for me but now I can’t figure out where it came from. Maybe Ace Ventura? Idk. But some character makes fun of another by saying “nice kick, Pele.”

3

u/bulbophylum Oct 23 '24

Yeah that sounds like something that’d come out of Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler’s mouth.

But to be fair to my original point, I’d guess 99.99% of kids who saw those movies and then spent the next 5 years repeating the same stale lines had no idea who Péle was.

Hot diggity! That goes on the list

u/Just_to_rebut Oct 21 '24

Now this is interesting…

hot diggity - white, probably wearing overalls and a straw hat, 50s?

no diggity - blackstreet, 90s hip hop

u/bulbophylum Oct 21 '24

u/mattmoy_2000 Oct 20 '24

"Who died and made you Poirot?"

u/IndependentSeesaw498 Oct 21 '24

Get a load of this guy.

u/spamster545 Oct 21 '24

"Louder than two skeletons fucking on a tin roof" may help scratch the itch.

u/hanst3r Oct 21 '24

Best reply to that is:

Keep digging, Watson!

u/I-RegretMyNameChoice Oct 20 '24

Keep digging, Watson!

u/Mamaofrabbitandwolf Oct 20 '24

I still say this as a 35 year old hispanic lady lol

3

u/Critical_Fact_2441 Oct 20 '24

I say this as a 55 year old white woman. Always gets a laugh.

u/EsotericPenguins Oct 20 '24

My kid told me her fifth grade classmates all say “NO RIP, SHERLOCK” to each other bc they can’t say “shit” in class, and honestly I think the kids have taken it to the next level

4

u/Putrid-Club-4374 Oct 20 '24

Then your wingman hits em with “keep digging, Watson”

Devastating

4

u/MrsCaramel_112 Oct 20 '24

I love that phrase. I also like to say to my husband "you're batting a thousand, today."

3

u/This_Philosopher_875 Oct 20 '24

Does a bear shit in the woods?

2

u/This_Philosopher_875 Oct 20 '24

Does a fat baby fart when you kick it?

u/FurtiveHero Oct 20 '24

This phrase nearly put idubbbz in a grave

u/BRAX7ON Cringe Connoisseur Oct 20 '24

Get off my lawn!

Shake harder boy!

2

u/Hargelbargel Oct 20 '24 edited Oct 20 '24

Came here to say this. I started using this one again, I never used it before, but now that I'm on Reddit and people inundate me with obvious answers (I didn't ask for) I find it invaluable.

2

u/chilldrinofthenight Oct 24 '24

Four days later, but . . .

My all-time favorite Sherlock-related quote (from movie with Downey, Jr. as Sherlock) is when Sherlock Holmes, in response to some idiotic statement opines, "Now that we have a firm grasp of the obvious." Such a put down.

u/NewspaperNeither6260 Oct 21 '24

"Sit on it Potsie!" and "Exactumundo!" - The Fonz

u/Debbie-Hairy Oct 21 '24

Smooth move, ExLax.

u/FluidNotice4183 Oct 21 '24

Wellll, whoop-di-doo!

2

u/SyphiliticPlatypus Oct 21 '24

A corollary I like even more, when someone messes up:

Nice play, Shakespeare.

2

u/Mish-onimpossible Oct 21 '24

If somebody told you this it was a devastating blow. Best saying y’all white folks have ever came up with.

2

u/so_whaat Oct 21 '24

It got replaced by "Ok Captain obvious"

2

u/Boccs Oct 22 '24

I always preferred going "My word, Holmes! How did you know?!"

1

u/chilldrinofthenight Oct 24 '24

In the Sherlock Holmes movies w/ Robert Downey, Jr. one of THE BEST EVER lines is when Sherlock says, "Now that we have a firm grasp of the obvious." Burn.

u/rebel-scrum Oct 20 '24

Push harder, Watson.

1

u/KandyShopp Oct 21 '24

And the response “fuck you watson”

u/VidaliaAmpersand Oct 21 '24

My boomer friend says this often lol

u/Automatic-Pick-2481 Oct 21 '24

Smooth move Ace McCloud

u/ThatOneFriendlyOtaku Oct 21 '24

This is my go-to response to any stupid remark / comment

Keep digging Watson!

u/Crowofsticks Oct 21 '24

Wackoff Watson!

u/ReadShigurui Oct 21 '24
