You're such a freak. Why are you going to dress up and go to Rocky Horror Picture Show for the 1500th time?

Get the cult movie mug.A cliche used to describe a couple in which one partner is significantly older than the other.
Taken from the title of a cult movie (1971, Hal Ashby) starring Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon. Intergenerational love affair between a 20 and 79 year old, culminating in an important life lesson. Has an excellent Cat Stevens soundtrack and stellar photographic/cinematic effects given the technology of the time. For many, the closing sequence (last 15 minutes) of the film qualifies as one of the best endings in modern film.

Get the professional student mug.(n.) The exaggerated value of an item or concept, especially from the perspective of others encountering a person's inflated ego. Many use the phrase derisively, belittling the concept and originator at once.
Frank's theory of mayonnaise elasticity, though labored over for years, resulted in no great cosmic import. Rather, he ended up in an est commune.
