TL;DR Millennial humor is weird and doesn't always make sense. Just move past it.

There's another thing like this, right? It's 4 panels and the position of things is the theme that people copy. I don't know how to search for it.

My wife will start a conversation with stuff like "So I talked to her, and she said any time is fine."  WTF?  Like, we can be sitting on the couch watching TV, and during a commercial break I get this.

As it turns out, we'd discussed earlier that day, or even a day or two before, about meeting up with friends, and we had a date but not a time, so Mrs. Orbert had to contact Mrs. Friend to figure out when we should stop by.  Okay, so we're apparently continuing that conversation, or rather concluding it.  The problem is that we've had anywhere from five to 10 to 20 conversations in the six to 24 to 48 hours since then, and I guess I'm supposed to know from context which one we're following up on.  It keeps things interesting.

My wife and I have a thing.  Well, I have a thing, with my wife.  She'll start talking and I go "PRONOUNS".  Not he/her/him/they, like in the P/R thread, but rather, "please use names, because I have no idea to whom you're referring here."

See, that rarely works with me. My wife is a Rabbi and works heavily in the local Jewish world. So at least 600% of the people she mentions are named Sarah or something.

Exactly!  It's not like clear communication is that hard.  "So I talked to Linda, and she said any time is fine."  If I get a name, I have the context and can (usually) recall the conversation that we're apparently following up on.

By the way, he/she/they are pronouns.  The term you want is "proper nouns".  Names.

My wife is named Sarah!  (although she's not Jewish)

But my wife has an annoying habit of making new acquaintances with the same names as people we already know.  She'll be well into a story about "Leslie," and I think she's talking about our daughter's godmother, and then she says something that doesn't make sense, at which point she clarifies that she's talking about "Leslie from the gym" or something or other, and I have to go back and re-evaluate the entire story.

No, no, no; I get that.  I mean "PRONOUNS!" as in "Stop using pronouns!"   The him/he/they thing was a sort of joke reference to P/R.

[Orbert]

Ah, I got it.  I figured you would know the correct term, but somehow that's not the direction my brain went.

Have you ever watched Cinema Sins videos on YouTube?  One of the more common sins is when a character plays "the pronoun game" in order to conceal something from the audience.

I thought he applied that sin because it was indicative of poor writing.

I don't get the 3-panel picture, maybe a pop culture reference I am not going to get?

yes it's a pop culture reference... 8th century bc greece pop culture would not expect progressive rock fans to miss a moirai reference!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moirai_(video_game)

Moirai was a 2013 indie game developed by Chris Johnson, Brad Barrett and John Oestmann. Described as an experimental game,[1] it is revealed to the player that their decisions and input influence the experience of the next person to play the game. Moirai received analysis and reflection from critics and academics about the moral implications raised in the game. Due to trolling and a hack of the game's database, Moirai was discontinued in June 2017.

why do we tell actors and actresses to "break a leg"?

[pg1067]

why do we tell actors and actresses to "break a leg"?

In the early days of theater, the "leg line" is where ensemble actors were queued to perform.  If actors were not performing, they had to stay behind the "leg line," which also meant they wouldn't get paid.  If you were to tell the actor to "break a leg," you were wishing them the opportunity to perform and get paid.

Cinema Sins is a YouTube channel where they critique movies (they also do TV and other media, but I only really watch the movie critiques).  It's very humorous/tongue in cheek.  I find it mostly hilarious (you have to be willing to accept someone poking holes in movies you like).  "The pronoun game" is pretty much exactly what you described with your wife.
