Does everybody use "Toe pick!"? It crops up fairly regularly in household conversation. As does, "As you wish."
No toe picks here. I'm not even sure what that's from!
Moira Kelly's character uses it to taunt D.B. Sweeney's character in The Cutting Edge when he (hockey player) is getting used to figure skates. Hockey skates don't have toe picks, so he keeps snagging his toes and falling. She, who has been on figure skates since she could walk, glides by him sitting on the ice and carols, "Toe pick!" repeatedly. He's a bootstrap character, she's a brat.
My single childhood ice-skating expedition was an emotional and physical meltdown, so I haven't tried since. (Although I learned to roller-skate as an adult.)
a meltdown on ice could be very traumatic. Especially if you don't swim.
I miss ice skating, damnit. I was, er, more power than grace, but I was very small at the time.
I didn't like The Cutting Edge. I kept nitpicking it.

Well, that the level of skating was Olympic worthy was laughable. But once you got past that, it was a cute movie. Plus, quotable. Also? I really like Kelly, and Sweeney, too, at the time.
