We’ve got a bunch and the ones that annoy the weans, like calling Jalapeños Jalpaneros in public, are our favourites.

We have a weird thing where each night whichever of us is first to head up to bed wishes the other one "good luck with the lamps". As in, you know, turning the lights off for the night.

I have no idea why it started but it's been going for years at this point, we got so competitive for a while that when it was time for bed we'd literally wrestle to be first out of the room and get to say it.

I designed a custom "good luck with the lamps" mug for a Christmas present, he donated to GDQ one time to get them to wish me it on live stream. It's a whole thing 😅

And of course, we do it wherever we are, including at friends houses. They are mostly nonplussed by the whole spectacle.
