Quit. Using. This. Quote.

Why, oh why, did they have to include this line in “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” ? So many times have I heard idiots who think they’re being clever spewing out the following line when I tell them to screw off: “I’m disinclined to acquiesce to your request. (Means ‘no.’)”
Seriously, everyone uses it. I did the other day to annoy Ben, and I’m pretty sure it worked, but it still angers me to no end. Yes, we’ve all seen the movie. Yes, the line was funny in the context in which it was used, and yes it was funny to say it once right after seeing the movie with your friends, when they asked if you would drive ‘em home, or something. But please, for the love of god, STOP USING IT AFTER THAT. It’s only funny in your mind! In actuality, you look like a bleeding idiot. I’m a hair’s breadth from stabbing all who say it. (Like the person I met at the video store today, who spat that back at me when I asked them politely to move out of my way.) It’s just like when everyone kept exclaiming: “I’m Rick James, bitch!” No more!
