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?

Definitely watching Mean Girls again tonight. Such a great film!

Tal45 · 05/05/2021 18:42

Ok now I really want to watch it as i'm mid forties and that seems to be the age group that missed out on this!

lap90 · 05/05/2021 18:43

@Tambora It's merely a quote from a well loved film.

Luckyelephant1 · 05/05/2021 18:51

Ahhh it's just such a good film. There isn't a single minute that is boring or filler, literally almost every line is iconic. I could watch it over and over again.

Damn Africa, what happened?

@Quaagars

I've never seen it, is it because I'm late 40's?

I'm in my 40s too, seen it loads of times
I must just be a cool mom lol

Huh!

You might be a cool mom.

But my breast can tell when it's gonna rain.

Also, does anyone else finds the Damien/Janice gay/lesbian stuff is just slightly cringe these days? It's funny, it's the only bit that I don't really feel has aged well. Not its presence in the plot, but the way it's written. Everything else is still spot on.

I wasn't aware of where this quote came from but I saw it on a meme with a bunch of very Cali-valley looking girls, all blonde curls and suntans, with the caption underneath.

Morticia Addams appears beside them in full Goth regalia, saying 'I don't fucking want to'.

Reminds me of my teens!

Bluesheep8 · 05/05/2021 19:02

How have younotheard of it, never mind not seen it??!!

How? Quite easily, I hadn't heard of it til now either! Blush

PeridotEyes · 05/05/2021 19:03

Mean Girls hasn't just suddenly popped back into existence, it's a huge part of pop-culture. 'Stop trying to make fetch happen' or 'it's October 3rd' is no different from 'he's her lobster' or 'we were on a break!'

Nope - never heard of any of these sayings, but I have no teenage kids. I've heard of Harry Potter, though!

Also sounds like Tania Degano's crowd of nasty girls in the film 'Muriel's Wedding'. Wonder if the similarity between her surname and guano (batshit) was deliberate?

Babygotblueyes · 05/05/2021 19:05

I have a lot of feelings. And no, I dont go here.

QforCucumber · 05/05/2021 19:06

@PeridotEyes I'm 35 and it's one of my favourite films!

MsTSwift · 05/05/2021 19:07

Ooh we love Mean Girls it’s one of the few films the whole family can enjoy together if you have teen girls 😁. Love Tina fey and Amy Poehler though the pink tracksuit “I’m a cool mom” “no rules in my house girls” think they wrote it

DragonMamma · 05/05/2021 19:08

Almost 40 and I still use Mean Girl sayings.

I bought my Dd a hoodie from Asos that says ‘she doesn’t even go here’ and she loves it

Mean Girls is timeless

MilkchopsMcgee · 05/05/2021 19:10

It's her hair.. Its full of secrets

Pinkflipflop85 · 05/05/2021 19:12

Get in loser, we're going shopping.

Fembot123 · 05/05/2021 19:13

*Ah. So it's bullying then. Lovely.

Who doesn't want a quote like that in their house? confused*

😂😂😂😂😂

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 05/05/2021 19:15

I've never seen it, but our telly is very old (it's black and white) and currently the most up to date TV program we can see is Love Thy Neighbour, I don't really like it but it's a step up from the Rag Trade, I suppose.

PeridotEyes · 05/05/2021 19:17

OK, not one single person is saying, "It was crap and I hated it," so I believe you - we don't have Netflix, but I have just ordered it on Ebay for £1.30 inc P&P, so it wasn't much of a risk!

The parents faces when their daughter does that hideous sexualised Santa songwoth her new “friends” 😁

Enjoy! I made my husband watxh it and even he had to grudgingly accept its 'quite good' Grin.
Lovestonap · 05/05/2021 19:22

It was crap. I hated it!

Lol, just kidding it's fab. And I can really relate to the 'sweatpants are all that fit me right now'!!!!
