Riiiiight before COVID hit I was on a date with a woman -- we were going to walk around a park near the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, but she was running late. I texted her "Sitting in the park / waiting on yoooooo-oooooo". She had no idea who Billy Stewart was, so it was doomed from the start. :p
(Didn't help that she got a job offer in Hawaii a month later. ;-))
I've lost count of the number of times a pop-culture reference just FLEW over the head of the person I was talking to. It is GREAT when they do get it though.
I was chatting to a cute woman @ work and she was talking about an accident she'd had. I asked if she was taking it easy because of her fall and she said "I haven't got time to bleed", to which I replied (instantly) "Have to you time to duck".... and then we both burst out laughing. The most surprising thing was that *she* was surprised that *I* got the reference!!
[Original 'Predator' with Arnie... (obviously)].
Definitely not a good thing when something like missing the reference happens - a clear-cut case of incompatibility! [grin]
Its the scene where one of Arnie's team says that some rebels are 'dug in like an Alabama tick'. The 2nd guy says 'you're bleeding man'.. and thence the quote - followed by a grenade going off & a shower of dirt...

I've seen Predator, but I would have missed that completely!
