Ah-HAH! At last, another person who knows The Princess Bride (movie) so well that he/she was instantly reminded of the exchange between Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) and Vizzini (Wallace Shawn)! The Princess Bride is one of our "guilty pleasure" movies, meaning that we enjoy it far more than perhaps we should, and watch it several times each year.

Another guilty pleasure movie of ours, by the way, is the 1990 movie Tremors (Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Reba McEntire, Michael Gross).
LOL, I knew to what the OP referred the first time I saw the thread title!
One of the movies I will watch repeatedly. So many good lines...
As a matter of fact, on the NJ thread recently, someone was talking about making blunders, "the most famous of which is never get into a land war with Asia..."
I was reading a book last night and came across a sentence describing how a student stayed after school for extra tuition. I'd never thought about it before, but the way we most often use the word "tuition" is to mean payment for instruction, rather than the instruction itself as the word implies (i.e. an instructor provides instruction, a tutor provides tuition.)
The impact of ironic has been diluted because many people use it to mean “coincidental,” when its traditional definition is “counter to expectations or what is appropriate.”
I was guilty of that for a while before someone corrected me.

Very appropriate.
