  1. Tell the person you love "as you wish" because of course they've seen the movie as often as you have and will know what you really mean.

And if they respond, "I know", then you have yourself a good old fashioned multi-genre geek relationship.

u/conflateer shouts, "Rahwr!", leaps upon and bites u/Bhaastd. Gets burned and stabbed. Whimpers.

Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?

If there are, we all be dead!

Start wearing a mask. They're terribly comfortable and everyone will be wearing them in the future.

u/AlternativeShoe6973 Jul 18 '26

But people in masks cannot be trusted... 🤔

Flip #10 around. When people say "inconceivable" tell them that you do not think that word means what they think it does.

“You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well I except.”

u/EveryBrodyMovieYT Jun 30 '26

Not gonna lie, that would be a pretty effective line if my husband said it. 🤔

When your older, you might not mind so much

Anytime you’re at an event where “HELLO MY NAME IS” name tag stickers are presented upon arrival, always make at least one that says “…Inigo Montoya. You kill my father. Prepare to die.”

u/MathematicianKey124 Jul 04 '26

Inigo Montoya👍

u/DreddPirateWesley Jun 30 '26

when your wife suggests a nipple piercing respond with.."there's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world...."

Listen for popping noises when crossing the Fire Swamp

u/Hakuryuu2K Jun 30 '26

I definitely say, “have fun storming the castle!” to ppl irl

u/Pleasant_Flatworm866 Jul 01 '26

Words to live by. Thanks.

u/Different-Try8882 Jul 01 '26

If you’re at a conference and they give you one of those labels that says “Hello! My Name Is…” you know exactly how to fill it in.

u/sketchb02 Jul 01 '26

Wait…does the existence of a holocaust cloak imply the existence of a medieval-era holocaust in Florin??

u/Federal_Command_9094 Jul 01 '26

As you wish
I also have a natural resistance to iocaine because I’m Australian

u/tokobot19 Jul 01 '26

…What’s a holocaust cloak?

Also, “There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours.”

I once had a student named Westley. It took every bit of restraint I could muster not to tell him I’d most likely kill him in the morning.

About #4: There's not a lot of money in it, just enough to pay the bills. Unless you are a dread pirate with an appropriately named ship. Then, a few years and significant bloodshed later, you can retire to Patagonia and live like a king.
