Talking ducks

A term to indicate someone's questioning of the validity of one aspect in a fictional story is in fact overshadowed by the absurdity of the story's basic premise.

A phrase first coined when one person loudly wondered how the ducks in a Donald Duck story managed to breathe under water without any visible breathing apparatus on their diving suit, and another replied "You know you're reading a story about talking ducks, right?"
Seb: "So how did they hide a physical object in a mirror's reflection in the first Harry Potter?"

Gordon: "Dude. Talking ducks."

Talking to God on the big white telephone

Being in such a paralytic state from the mass consumption of alcohol that when you reach the toilet you are usually slumped down hugging the bowl and screaming 'Oh God!' into the shit abyss in between violent bouts of upchuck.
Yeah man, got so wasted last night I ended up talking to God on the big white telephone!
