“don’t get that reference?”
Count me in that group. I don’t get it.
It was taken from a dialogue in the movie, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." The character was Jeff Spicoli, played by Sean Penn (before politics crept into every little thing.) FTARH was a coming-of-age classic from the early 1980s.
I'm not sure if younger generations looked on that movie the same way mine did, but I have much respect for anyone who makes obscure movie quotes using a film like that one.
