What does this Fluther greeting "We. Drink. Your. MILKSHAKE!" mean? (Doesn't it sound naughty?!)?

Waaahahahaha I asked tha same question when I came aboard. It should be removed. It is a reference to some obscure movie.

I don’t know, but I’ve always particularly disliked that one. It must be a reference to something someone thought would be more recognizable.

Edit: It’s a reference to the movie There Will Be Blood.
They drink it up. I see no problem with it.
Though, there is a lack of Star Wars greetings.

@rangerr – gag! Now I really need a shower!!! EDIT: In ref to the YouTube video.

I dislike it even more now.

obscure movie? That is a Great Movie! Daniel Day Lewis is a God! It pertains to drilling oil. I like it, but I guess if you don’t know the reference, it would seem strange.

@KhiaKarma Isn’t that movie set in the 1800s or something? Long before every corner had a McDonalds that gave you milkshakes? I mean, I knew that it was a line from There Will Be Blood, and that it means something along the lines of “I kick your ass” but I’ve never gotten an explanation as to why it’s a great line instead of a stupid and confusing line. Plus, it was the same time as the Milkshake song, so I always thought it meant “I preform oral sex on you and swallow”...

It’s a little too new (2007) to be widely recognized. Bad Fluther, bad!

It basically is Daniel Day Lewis’ character’s way of saying “f you” because he laid down the pipeline and stole the oil from his nemesis. It became a catch phrase, but I always thought it was silly that that line of all the lines in the movie “caught on”. I think they probably had milshakes back then, milk and homemade ice cream? I dunno, it could have been an anachronism. It was a powerful scene in the movie as you watched DDL’s character deteriorate.

A lot of people do recognize it. SNL clip

@KhiaKarma I know they had milkshakes back then, but I don’t think they were common enough for it to really be a phrase. Kinda like saying “I drink your jicama juice”...

ALL of the ‘greeting’ messages are tiresome. A machine trying to be cutesy? Pass the sick bag.

@meiosis : I like them. And my hair rally does look good today! Don’t like ‘em? Don’t read ‘em.

@meiosis :: If you don’t like them you can always start a question asking for new ones. These ones are bit dated.

“Don’t like ‘em? Don’t read ‘em.”

I try not to, but every now and then my eyes force my brain to pay attention, and my twee receptors shudder.

”my twee receptors shudder.” OK, that was worth reading!

I loved that movie,so there! ;)

“We dreamt about you last night.”

That one is far more naughty…

Can’t remember the last time I had a milkshake.

@ChazMaz But I bet you remember the last time you had corn.

Funny how that works. ;-)

I always thought it had something to do with milkshakes that bring all the boys to the yard.

I love that line. I even bought my teenage son a tee-shirt that says “I drink your milkshake” on it for Christmas last year. He loves that movie.
