My hovercraft is full of eels 

A quote from a Monty Python sketch. Used whenever someone is trying to speak a foreign language to you, but they're either doing it wrong or you don't understand.

A Hungarian tourist goes into a cigar shop looking for a box of matches, but doesn't speak English, so he brings a badly-written phrasebook with him. When he tries to ask for matches, he ends up saying "My hovercraft is full of eels?"
Tourist: "Ah, ah, my hovercraft is full of eels?"
Clerk: "What?"
Tourist points to matches: "My hovercraft is full of eels!"
Clerk picks up matches: "Oh, this?"
Tourist: "Yes!"

Koopa-Backdash-Wave-Slide-Hover-Walk-Moon-Landing 

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, characters who's walk-acceleration is lower than their traction value after wavelanding backwards can buffer a slight walk forwards to decrease the momentum lost. The walk input must be at its lowest value to perfectly execute the tech. (rough translation of inputs) Characters with low traction (Luigi) benefit worse than those with higher traction values in Melee. (i.e Gannondorf can benefit from the Koopa Backdash Wave Slide Hover Walk Moon Landing more than Luigi in terms of distance)
Youtube has more info on this.
The Koopa-Backdash-Wave-Slide-Hover-Walk-Moon-Landing can make virtually anyone feel like they are playing on ice.

Hover-grating 

A careless method of grating cheese by holding the block of cheese and grater high above the food, causing it to disperse everywhere but the intended dish.

Characterised by fragments of grated cheese found everywhere around the kitchen afterwards - often accompanied by a larger, dry block of remnant cheese left out for many days after said cheese-grating incident.

Particularly common in Rootes P 2nd kitchen, and generally anywhere inhabited by a German-Italian partnership.
Dude 1: "Awww wtf Jasper, there's cheese everywhere on the table again!"
Jasper: "Sorry dude, Francesco and I made pesto pasta last night and we were hover-grating the cheese over it."
Dude 1: "Aw not again dammit."
Pit: "In Luxembourg..."

Hover-grating is the only way to truly enjoy a German-Italian dish.
