Talk:Patch (episode)
Why did my "real life reference" get deleted? The phrase "awkward..." is used in other pop-culture movies! I believe it was first said in the movie Hoodwinked. (Not the word itself, but using it as a funny phrase by itself.) People walk around saying it all the time. Enough I think to include it. - SoundWave 00:16, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
- *facepalm* It's a friggin real word that is used often enough in modern day events. IT DOESN'T GO INTO THE REAL WORD REFERENCES. And as a matter of fact, awkward wasn't first used in Hoodwinked. Escargon 00:24, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
- I'm not talking about the word itself, I'm talking about the way people say it in that funny voice. I know the word has been used many times before, but some movie or something in the last few years had obviously made it into a popular thing to say when something awkward or embarrassing happens. (Like if someone falls over, someone else says "awk-ward...", and everyone laughs because they just said a pop culture "meme".) If an episode of Transformers said "Live long and prosper" I'm sure we would reference that even though those are all existing words. This seems like a popular enough catch phrase to reference. - SoundWave 00:39, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
- No, live long and prosper is a specific enough reference. Saying it like that is not a specifc pop culture reference. Escargon 00:43, 19 October 2013 (EDT)

And read this yahoo answers that was posted 2 years ago: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111226105333AAhwFAq and how about this: http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/40/833855.html No one seems to be able to figure out where it started, but it's obviously a very "pop culture" phrase. i just gave you 3 pices of evidence that its not just me. The show's writers probably put that in there because it is a popular phrase.
- 1. Sign your posts.
- 2. It's a popular phrase. IT'S NOT A REFERENCE.
- 3. Please refrain from putting it in the RWR section again. Escargon 01:00, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
