Pop culture quotes give us the means to express ourselves when we're too dumb or lazy to come up with our own mouth-sounds. But there's a good chance you're misusing some of your favorite references. Furthermore, it's possible -- nay, probable -- that your Borat impression could use some work. But don't worry; we're here to set the record straight.

5 "I'll Be Back." (The Terminator)

"I'll be back" is the trademark line of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He frequently used it on the campaign trail, as governor of California, and it even appears as the last line of a lighthearted "Visit California" tourism commercial. Schwarzenegger informs prospective state visitors "You'll be back," with such an extreme wink that it's a wonder he didn't sprain an eye.

"I'll botox- uhhh, be back!"

The Real Meaning:

"I'll be back" is what the Terminator says to a policeman before leaving the station to fetch a car and then driving it straight back through the door, crushing the dude to death. He then butchers 17 other hapless police officers before attempting to murder a defenseless woman. It's just ... it's a bizarre choice to go cutesy with, is what we're saying.

"Mass murder, tee-hee!"

The whole point of the line is that it's a psychopathically polite thing to say right before you murder the holy crap out of a cop-fort. It left the audience thinking "Oh man, if this cop only knew how screwed he is!"

"All this paperwork ... Ugh, just kill me, right?"

Using it to promote Californian tourism is a weird call. Is Arnold saying he's going to murder you if you come to his state? Wait, no, the line in the commercial is "You'll be back." He's saying that you are welcome to crash your car through the border and go on an unstoppable killing spree the next time you visit California. That seems like an unwise precedent to set, though it will probably draw in the crowds.
