Hmm.
Attempt #1:
me: You could make political statements like that. Get all up in everyone's fries.
person #1: yeah.
me:
Verdict: Success!
Attempt #2:
(at work, talking about a computer program)
me: It works. You just have to tell it to get all up in everyone's fries.
person #2: (mouth agape)
me: sphhnnxxk.
Verdict: Unsuccess. I snickered. So I left and replayed the moment in my mind a few times. I read T-Rex's statement dozens of times. I was ready.
Attempt #3: (same person!)
me: I lied.
person #2: gasp!
me: It only reconnects when it needs to access it. Then it gets all up in the network's fries.
person #2: okay.
me:
Verdict: Relative success. I ALMOST smirked. And that wasn't technically the right phrase.
Attempt #4:
person #3: I don't think he likes it.
me: Yeah. We're kinda gettin' all up in everyone's fries.
person #3: Sure, but there's nothing we can really do about it.
me:
Verdict: Success! I'm totally getting good at this.
