A phrase derived from the fascinating high school course, "
Coming Apart: The US in the 1960s." The phrase is remarkably successful at irritating others when injected constantly into conversation especially when its use does not make sense. Potatoes and
anchors are particularly sensitive to the phrase and exhibit signs of
repulsion and are prone to violent behavior upon hearing it.
Person A: Dude, your
shoelace is

Person B: Shut up.
