    My brother and I have a lot of citations taken from absurdist shows or movies that have taken a special meaning for us.

    “Have you been getting the signals?” is from 12 ounce mouse and is a mystical call for reconnection to the matrix of the world, for example.

    “Il est déjà 9h, là” is from La Classe Américaine and means “is it already 9 AM?”. We use it when we’re late and don’t give much of a shit.

    “It’s one of the Mearas” is a line from Lord of the Ring and means “wow shit that’s beautifull” to us.

    These all tend to shift widely over time and new ones are added regurlarly to challenge are capacity to interpret context and relate to our common cultural baseline.
