Yeah, "Nova ate Batman" comes to mind when we're SOL a lot.
My husband and I have several things we say that are inside jokes that get us strange looks. I constantly suffer from vertigo, and sometimes it's worse than others. So when it's visibly effecting me, we refer to me as being "on the moon" and the looks we get when we say it in public is hilarious.
There's a few others, but I woke up not long ago and the only other one that comes to mind right now is that I often say "before it turns into a pumpkin" but that's not an exclusive inside joke.
lol...no, not exclusive. We joke about having to get home when it's getting late before WE turn into pumpkins.
That's tough, with the vertigo. Being on the moon would at least be a humorous way to refer to it!
It really is a great way to refer to it.
At a truck stop in New Mexico, about an hour away from Roswell, I tripped over my own feet while my vertigo was really bad. Everyone started staring at me. Embarrassed, I was determined to take control and make the situation mine instead.
So I said, "Sorry! I'm still trying to get used to this whole 'gravity' thing!"
Oh, the looks I got!
Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!
That was perfect. I really am laughing out loud.
It's still one of my favorite moments.
