To take a page out of Loog's playbook, if I have to explain a new game to someone, I'll go...

"As you know, 'Killer Bunnies' is a game of definitions."

When we do anything involving my two-year-old's feet, one of us is sure to say, "The game is afoot, Trebek."

Mine is, "Joker, JOKER! ...fast-forward mixed fruit."

Okay, I feel stupid. What's "one down, nine to go" from?

Also, not quite a game show, but I tend to say "Let's rotate the board!" a lot.

More than once I've heard my mom say "not a match, the board goes back" when dealing with mismatched shoes or socks.

As for the topic itself, I can't recall any specifics, but I'll occasionally make a game show reference when dealing--older people get it, young'ins don't.

I was operating a cash register and a teenager asked me what he could get with a dollar. I told him "$1,000 and a bonus spin."

Have also said the following:

- "Yes, I did"
- Double Dare rules spiel.
- "You rascule!"
- "....you lose all your cash but not your merchandise, because once you buy a prize it's yours to keep."
- "No dare at stake, no money changing place."

There have also been several occasions in which if I am near a timer, or countdown clock (especially the ones in crosswalks), and the time shows less than 5 seconds, I have yelled "LONGSHOT"!!!

Joker...JOKER...Mythology.
