Is this a Brit expression?
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
...er, I guess so. It means 'Go team!'

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I suspect the equivalent USian translation would be "It's Miller time!"

...I think it's more of a 'Go Her' kind of thing than a 'Beer Now!' kind of thing. Um. If that's what 'Miller Time' means? Sort of like talking about something needing a lot of elbow grease meaning it needs a lot of work. But I don't know that I've ever thought about it before, as such. Hmm...

That is what "It's Miller Time!" means.

Ann, that's a ferret.
If that's what 'Miller Time' means?
Fay, "It's Miller Time!" is an old advertising slogan. It means, "It's been a long, hard day, and now it's time to relax." With Miller beer, of course.

Miller time is sort of you've done a good job, now here's your reward, so yeah, not quite the same. I was thinking more of bending an elbow in celebration.
Also, HI FAY!!!!

If I only had a brain...
Huh. Great phrase. I'd correlated it with "God bless the human elbow, may he bless it where it bends", which is a drinking song.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Discussion of (the last ever!) current Buffy episodes.
Should we not change this? The word "current" could make people think we aren't really updating the board upon first glance.
