A phrase used to point out when someone fails to convey their message in a nonsensical way comedically. Can be due to poor grasp of language.
"Stacey's being mean to me, Stacey!" Could be responded to with "would you like some cornflakes with your cornflakes?"

The absolutely best animated trilogy known to all mankind. It’s emotional, it’s funny, it’s infuriating at times, and it WILL MAKE U CRY. Best thing ever to exist, period.

Quite possibly the greatest animated trilogy to exist. The story of an outcast Viking teen and a downed dragon of night and their unlikely friendship that transforms the world around them.
(From the epilogue of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World)
Hiccup: There were dragons when I was a boy...Oh, there were great grim sky dragons that nested on the clifftops like gigantic, scary birds. Little brown scuttly dragons that hunted down the mice and rats in well-organized packs. Preposterously huge sea dragons twenty times as big as the big blue whale. Some say that the dragons went back to the sea, leaving not a bone nor a fang for men to remember them by. Others say they were nothing but folktales to begin with. Eh...I'm okay with that. Legend says that when the ground quakes or lava spews from the earth, it's the dragons. Letting us know they're still here, waiting for us to get along. Yes, the world believes that the dragons are gone, if they ever existed at all. But we Berkians? We know otherwise. And we'll guard that secret until the time comes when dragons can return in peace.

Refers to one or more fondly-looked-back-on periods in one's life when his waking hours were his to do with as he pleased, rather than having other humans with authority over him dictate how he spent his time.
Young children often bemoan da loss of their "days of your" once they have to start going to public school and thus have their free time to play and relax drastically reduced. Perhaps this issue could be greatly alleviated if we'd give some of John Holt's ideas on education a try.
