Totes MaGotes

If you haven't seen the movie "I Love You, Man" then this story may not make sense... It is about a guy who needs to find more guy friends, and how awkward he is while trying to establish a friendship. The first time I saw it I was with my Mom (I love seeing movies with my Mom!) and we both thought it was entertaining, not amazing...

The main male character who is looking for guys friends is seemingly awkward when trying to arrange plans to meet up with some potential new man friends and ends up saying things like "I will see you there, or I will see you on another time!," or "Totally...Totes MaGotes..."

Luckily, I am a bit better and making friends and usually say things that are socially acceptable and sometimes even funny in a witty way...

So, I spent the holidays with my family (my mom, brother and sister) and my brother is really into movies...and my brother is really funny. He also watches an astonishing amount of movies and has an incredible ability to remember movie quotations. Almost everyday of our European Vacation, he managed to find an appropriate time to say "Totes MaGotes," which ended up being hysterical.

So now, as I am trying to settle into a new German company and make a good, solid impression with my coworkers, for some reason "Totes MaGotes" is at the top of my vocabulary. The best part of this scenario is that I still think the phrase is hysterical...because it reminds me of how funny my brother is, and how entertained my mom, sister and I were each time my brother would say this...only a few weeks ago. Ironically, my new german coworkers haven't actually seen this movie and have no idea what I am talking about. Soooo, a tiny bit awkward? Totes MaGotes! =)
