[ after a LOTR chapter where the party is shot at by orcs while trying to avoid a waterfall ]
WIFE: "Well, that was harrowing."
ME: "And arrowing!"
WIFE: "Who's Arowyn? I know about Éowyn and Arwen, but I don't remember her."
ME: "She was Legolas's girlfriend."
WIFE: "And he was her bow(beau)!"
WIFE: "I have all the letters to spell 'UNGOLIANT'."
ME: "Nerd!"
WIFE: "Unfortunately proper nouns aren't allowed."
ME: [tune of Sussudio] "Just say the word, Un-go-go-goliant!"
WIFE: "Also I'm missing an 'I'."

[reading streaming movie title 'The Mortician']
ME: "The Mortikan."
WIFE: "Actually its 'The Mortisian'."
ME: "About that guy who specializes in mortise joinery?"
WIFE: "Yah. He kills people with carpentry."
ME: [droning on] "...and that was the guy who was low-key socialist."
WIFE: [suddenly tuning in] "Loki socialism! What's that? Some kind of sneaky anarcho-syndicalism?"
ME: "I think it's just a socialism driven by GLORIOUS PURPOSE!"
