Yesterday we asked our daughter if she would help out at the Pinewood Derby. She wasn't sure what kind of help she could provide, and I told her she could be a "spokesmodel." 
But she'd never seen the movie "L.A. Story," so the idea of a spokesmodel was foreign to her. (Remember Sarah Jessica Parker in that move? "Just a model who speaks, and she points at things like merchandise, like a car or washer and dryer, or a book or fine art prints.")
Even though we're not huge moviegoers in our family, we still find expressions from movies creeping into our everyday conversation.
If one of the kids gets too nosy, we'll ask them: "What's your record for consecutive questions asked?" They all know that the correct response to that is, "I'm a kid. That's my job."
Everyone mispronounces things when they're nervous, and when that happens, my husband will say, "I'm your density."
And when someone's feeling snubbed, we observe, "These lights are off on purpose."
"Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?"
