To ask why I can't sit with you?

I keep seeing house makeovers recently with an illuminated sign saying "You can't sit with us."

What's that all about? It doesn't sound very homely.

Is it a quote from a TV show?

You can't just ask people why they're white, God Karen.

@Xtraincome

After reading this thread, I have informed DH we are watching Mean Girls as our weekend movie! He has never watched it all the way through and this thread had reminded me of it's awesomeness!!!

Can't wait for DDs to be a bit older and watch it with us.

Did you have an awesome time? Did you drink awesome shooters, listen to awesome music, and then just sit around and soak up each others awesomeness?

Had to put mean girls on tonight now! Never gets old 😊

@thespottwdzebra, the "evil twin of live, love and laugh" made me crack up!

I'm 35, never seen the film, don't know any of the quotes, but I'm definitely going to watch it on Netflix all thanks to the rave reviews on this thread!

As an aside mean girls 2 is on Netflix too. Is that a good follow up or would it be a disappointment after the first one?

HannaHat · 06/05/2021 20:58

I wouldn’t bother with number TheresAnEyeInMeSoup, it’s crap.

HannaHat · 06/05/2021 20:59

Number 2, obviously 😬

My cat is forever bringing other cats home and I always say to them "you don't even go here!"
The cats don't appreciate it

Grin My DD said this to a dog that got into our garden the other day #proudmum

I’ve just rtft for all the quotes and am now laughing hysterically to myself- Mean Girls is probably the most quotable film out there. Love it! Enjoy OP!

Birdcloud · 06/05/2021 22:18

This is all getting a bit snippy. Let’s call it a day.

@MrsKoala

The fact you’ve said there were different friendship groups probably points to it- the popular group, the sport group, the “nerd” group, the alternative group etc.

Not really. It was more to do with background and ethnicity. All the Asian girls sat together as did the Afro Caribbean girls, there were about 6 from the council tower bocks who moussed their hair and then there were about 10 mc white girls who all just acted the same as each other. No one was sporty or into anything in particular. I liked grunge music and a friend liked heavy metal, the rest were stock Aiken and Waterman all the way! No one segregated themselves based on music or sports. There were no popular groups at all. We all just hunkered down and rode it out together. I think there was a cameraderie that we were all in it the same and to just keep our heads down and leave.

That's prison, not school.

I mean I love mean girls & yes it's a part of pop culture but quoting it on your walls in 2021 is very late to the party!

Shezow · 06/05/2021 23:00

How can you not heard of mean girls! Best chick flick ever! And it is still quoted till this day it’ll never get old

I don't know, the Broadway show is still touring. There's still a lot of interest.

Yeah, definitely more Bad Girls than Mean Girls! 😂

I am also ancient but inquisitive. It’ll be interesting to watch it! Does Motherland give me a clue?

Interest is one thing, but to decal your walls?

3Britnee · 07/05/2021 21:07
