what's the most inexplicable-sounding in-joke you have with a BFF/SO/co-worker/whoever?
My friends and I refer to the Chicago White Sox as the "Puppy Fuckers."
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.
'Objects In Space'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We have two:
1) "Fuckin' A, Bubba!" "Fucking' A, Bubba!" t high-five
2) "You're a little farm girl." "You're a cigarette."
#1 is where Em's nickname "Bubba" comes from.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Or, I could put x in a box with Hil's advisor and shut the lid.
I vote for this. t /not helping
The Boy keeps trying to get me to use the name, but if I tried, I would just laugh and laugh, which I feel ruins the whole badass effect.
Channel the laughing into an evil, knowing, sexy chuckle.
If anyone can do that, you can, Teppy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ha! I'm a horrible top, in terms of demeanor. We switch, and I dig it, but I'm SO not a badass. The Boy (who, when topping, is The Girl) is...awe-inspiring.

Daniel occasionally looks at me and says, "Magnets!" Which has the power to make me snerk in the middle of the most foul mood.

Another in-joke that is in our circle of Michigan friends: "The fastest land animal on earth is the Ethiopian chicken."

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
1) "Fuckin' A, Bubba!" "Fucking' A, Bubba!"
Humm. "Bubba" is doll/baby in Hebrew.

brillig
Hubby and I have several in-jokes derived from multilingual puns.
1) "Burros" for thank you, from Danke to donkeys to burros. There's also Burro Knees, from Danke shoen (sp?), to donkey shins, to burro knees.
2) "blue nose?" for Are you ready?, from Ready, to red eye, to blue nose.
3) "going to Germany" for "finding a way to do something completely inadvisable", from a British show called QED we saw many, many years ago, a precursor to Myth Busters, where they couldn't get permission to drive a car around a giant Van Der Graff generator to test if you're safe in a car in a lightning storm. Then the announcer said, "So we went to Germany." Hubby and I will use variants of the phrase in conversation.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have no significant other, but I do have a brother, and we will frequently randomly bust out with a reference to some videogame we played over ten years ago. (For instance, when we were in Pensacola last year, we kept saying, "Are you from Americola?" And when I saw him last month we started making Streets of Rage 2 references for no apparent reason. The wonderful thing is we never have to explain ourselves. We always understand each other because we're on the same wavelength.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
With amyth, well, I have a ton but the one that comes to mind is: "You doan peel no taters, you doan get no tea!" It's also now office policy for certain things.
With KBD: "WUUUUHHHHAAAAAT?!?!?" with a rising intonation.
With sis: "Yogahotties" as a greeting.
With brother: "Rutabega!" (said on the inhale)
With parents: "Caring weird" instead of "hearing impaired"
