Nice find, hard to pick a favorite there, but I always use this one myself
Dorkus Malorkus
Dorkus malorkus is a fictitious Latin phrase used by Bart Simpson presumably based on the word dork. In the episode "Bart on the Road", Bart announces that he is going to the National Grammar Rodeo and his sister, Lisa, protests.
Lisa: It's not fair. I'm the best student in school, how come I never heard about this competition?
Bart: Maybe because you are, as we say in Latin, a dorkus malorkus.
Lisa: That's not Latin. Mom! Bart's faking it!
Marge: Lisa, you've had your glory. Now it's Bart's turn.
This episode was a 1996 episode and dorkus malorkus was in use on the school grounds well before 1996. In fact, there is considerable testimonial evidence that the term was in use as far back as the late 1970s. A more appropriate spelling would be Dorcus mallorcus, indicating a dork of the major variety.
:lol:
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

Dorkus Malorkus is a perfectly cromulent saying.

Such a phrase embiggens one's vocabulary.

Yeah, some great ones in there! Some of my favourites are the ones used by the character Professor Frink... I think he's one of the best supporting characters on the show.
