Auto-Repleasantry

An automatic reply of "you too" to a pleasantry when it doesn't apply to the other person.

I gave the guy at the front desk at the gym an auto-repleasantry when he said "have a good workout."

EXAMPLE:

Ticket-taker at movie theatre: Enjoy the show.

Me: You too

Use the Force

Driving to an unfamiliar destination without the use of Waze, Google Maps or other navigation apps.

We would have gotten here sooner, but my husband insisted he "use the force." We ended up driving around for a half-hour trying to find the right address.
