You forgot to include "In Another World" somewhere in that

No... no, I didn't. That would have made the phrase non-stupid.

No, no, it's still very stupid. Trust me, I thought of it, and I know stupid.

This would have to come from a pretty meta fic:

"I just realized! Your name isn't 'Loren Epsom' - it's 'Lorem ipsum'! You're just a placeholder!"

For extra meta; the fellow's rank is lieutenant.

<snrk> Now how many people would get that?

"Junior, you're courting death!"

"You old fart, at your age you should be more worried! I am death!"

(Yeah, I've been reading xianxia stuff again.)

As he gently patted the upset grammar nazi on the head, he said in a soothing voice, "there, their, they're..."

Alternatively:

"Junior, you're courting death!"

"So what old man, she's cute and loves me! And I love her!"

Sort of a Xianxia-land ... mmm, not counterpart or equivalent, really, but the same sort of feeling as the classic "But the gutter is so comfy, and the water is warm!"

"Besides, her parents like me and approve!"

"That's your giant robot's startup sound?"

"I figured I'd be iconoclastic."

"Good afternoon, class. You will note that I did not take attendance; as there is currently a surfeit of Dark Arts to Defend against in Britain, if you are not present I will simply assume you are engaged in some practical study -- but be aware that I will expect a verbal report and demonstration in front of the class on at least three spells and any tactics involved when you return, and will grade your performance accordingly. Such expeditions as well as in-class work are to be performed in pairs, and will also be graded accordingly. As your partner will be assigned completely at random and only involves this single subject, you should expect that they will become a defining character in your personal story, whether lifelong friends or rivals, lovers, perhaps even a spouse. Should you fail to form such a connection, there is the danger of them - or you - instead becoming the driving subject of a defining regret or quest for revenge, so everyone do your best to get along! Tragic backstories are overdone and cliche!"

"Um, I know what it's called and your chipmunk face is super cute, but you're actually supposed to suck on it..."

Not related... probably. Well, maybe? Earlier, on Shipping Planet and/or Porn World:

"...oh my god, you thought I was gay. Oh my god, I've been leading you on! Was this a date? It basically is! I totally asked you out without even meaning to... Arrgh, just bury me now, 'cause I'm gonna drop dead!"

(works just as well if you switch it to "straight" of course)

Donald J. Sobol never Wrote:"Amscray, Brown," said Bugs, "or you'll end up looking like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone."

(Probably because he didn't want parents to have to explain the full context to their kids. If nobody else uses it in an Encyclopedia Brown fic, I might just do one of these first days.)

Who knew Bugs Meany was a Jim Croce fan?

"Interpol has issued a thug advisory for this evening. Make sure to bring lots of BLAM and KA-POW, maybe a bit of SLASH-ETH as well."

Not quite spoonerisms...

Works set in feudal Japan are called "Jidai Geki", not "Jedi Genki"!

...

It's pronounced "eponymous", not "e-pony moose"!

“Hold on.” Lind paused. “There was a line about this from Thorvald the Red - what was it?”
“I am the walrus?”
“Shut the fuck up Peorth.”

=====================================================

“Really,” Keiichi said. “Well, Lind, I guess if you’ve showed up, there’s something happening here.”
“True. However, what it is, is not exactly clear.”
“Well, you’re the woman with the gun over there. I’d tell the bad guys hey, I’ve got to beware.”
Lind nodded. “Yes. I think it’s time we stop, children.” She paused. “What’s that sound?”
“I dunno. You probably can pick up more stuff than I can in that suit. I guess everybody look what’s going down.”
Somewhere, a sedate guitar riff played.
“Indeed.”

Immediate flash back to 2018 CitizenCon where they showed a 'demo' and the player character was addressed by every NPC they passed with that title - averaging once every ten seconds or so through the whole thing.

"You force-fed a Minotaur a hand grenade? That's... evil. It's disgusting. It's horrid. It's ... it's ..."

"Abominable?"

"I was trying to avoid that word."

"Today's spanking was brought to you by Hands Across Uranus and the Corporation for Public Humiliation, working to ensure a brighter, more polite future."

edit:
This may or may not involve a ship named "Mushroom Sloop"

"... so after consulting the local Aluminutty--"

"Don't you mean 'Illuminati?'"

"No, these are the bunch who wear tin hats to foil the conspiracy's mind control waves. Definitely Aluminutty."

But tin isn't aluminium.
