Used to describe events or objects that are extraordinary in some way. Derived from the film The Silence of the Lambs, in which the line, "It puts the lotion in the basket, or it gets the hose again" is uttered to a woman in an extraordinarily bad situation. Connotation is often but not necessarily negative, and always implied.

"I spit in Brenda's coffee. That'll put the lotion in her basket."
