Yay - you got it ! *throws deer stalker into air*
Soo Lin Yao says it to her collegue, meaning her passion, the tea pots in TBB.

Tantalus · May 30, 2012 7:45 pm

Molly, since you knew the reference, would you like to do the next one?

Molly Hooper · May 30, 2012 7:46 pm

I would feel like I was depriving you of a well-earned (more than the O's were) privilege!

Tantalus · May 30, 2012 8:40 pm

Well, I wouldn't mind a little deprivation, but here goes. This one probably won't make it into anyone's signature line, but it's kinda catchy-sounding. I'll even provide the scaffold, just in case we need it.

_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _.

Oh, that scaffold is a bit scary

The T, please

Tantalus · May 30, 2012 9:14 pm

Two tantalizing 'T's for the tempting Ms. Adler:

T _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / t _ _ / _ _ _.

Ok... now, please, the H for High functioning sociopath

Davina · May 30, 2012 9:18 pm

You don't want to be hanged do you? May I have an R please.

Oh, I am so tempted, but I will behave...

There was a queue for the loo

??

I don't remember that being in the show though...

It was the Barrister saying that when the verdict returned in Reichenbach.
Watson says ' They took 6 minutes" and he replied something like " yes there was a queue for the loo"

You are hereby put on detention Ms Wholocked, now go study that show again!

Tantalus · May 31, 2012 2:23 am

I don't know why, but I loved that line. Like the barrister is saying, "Good grief--if they didn't all have to pee they wouldn't have even had to leave the room." Plus, "queue for the loo" just has a nice ring to it (say that here in good ol' South Carolina, and you'll get some puzzled looks for sure...).

Your turn, Wholocked.

Yeah and you know, we say it a lot here. It should be in our Australian Oxford Dictionary.

Wholocked · May 31, 2012 5:00 am

I think, Kazza, that's why I got confused. It's such an Aussie phrase I'm like "that was in Sherlock?! When? Where??" But I do remember it now.

Gosh darn, I need to go watch it again? That's such a punishment.....

Okay a new phrase....

_ _ / _ _ _ _
