The Pentaverate

The Pentaverate is a fictional secret society mentioned in the 1993 movie "So I Married an Axe Murderer." However, in 2022, a Canadian comedy streaming television miniseries titled "The Pentaverate" was created by Mike Myers for Netflix. This series draws inspiration from conspiracy theories presented in his 1993 film. In the movie, the Pentaverate is depicted as a group of five influential individuals who clandestinely manipulate global events. It's crucial to emphasize that the concept of the Pentaverate is entirely a product of fiction crafted for comedic purposes in the film. It has no basis in any actual secret society or historical reality.
"In the movie 'So I Married an Axe Murderer,' the Pentaverate is portrayed as a shadowy organization with immense power, while in the 2022 comedy miniseries 'The Pentaverate,' the concept takes a humorous twist as it parodies conspiracy theories."

Shizzies and Gizzies

"Shizzies and gizzies" is a term employed in a humorous or whimsical manner, lacking a specific literal definition. It is used to allude to something the speaker perceives as absurd, unconventional, or possibly even as a nonsensical rationale for their actions. This term contributes to the comedic and playful nature of the dialogue, involving wordplay where the exact meaning may not be intended to be taken literally.
Person A: "Why did you paint your room all in polka dots?"
Person B: "Two reasons, buddy. Shizzies and gizzies."

In this example, Person B's response doesn't actually explain why they painted their room in polka dots. Instead, they use "shizzies and gizzies" to humorously imply that their decision was based on unconventional or nonsensical reasons. It's a lighthearted way of attributing their action to something whimsical and undefined.
