Some guy here at my work accidentally sent an email to me with no subject or body, just my name in the To: box. So, naturally I replied with
"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot ?"(my kneejerk reaction)
Yeah, the guy was all confused and asked "what the Berkeley is that supposed to mean?"
I said "exactly"
We went back and forth like that for a minute or so and it was obvious he was getting perturbed.
hilarious
copy/paste right meow!
Whiskey
Tango
Foxtrot

What the berkeley are you talking about?!
Sierra Hotel!
"That car has a certain je ne sais quoi".
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know"
"What?"
Confusion follows.
Similar thing happened once with me. I have a tendency to make up words. Neologification if you will. I told a friend how much I love neologisms, and he asked me what a neologism was. I told him it's a made-up word, he said, yes, but what does it mean?
Little Girl: "This looks like a good place to put this letter Y. It's a letter that comes after X and just before Z. I bet Grover doesn't know what this letter is!"
Grover: "Skedaddle... skedaddle... skaddle-UP! I bet you think Grover does not know what this letter is."
Little Girl: "Well, Grover, do you?"
Grover: "No."
Little Girl: "I didn't think so."
Grover: "It's very pretty! It starts out with one line at the bottom and splits into two lines at the top."
Little Girl: "That's what it looks like. But what is this letter called?"
Grover: "I do not know. Tell me."
Little Girl: "Y." (sounds like "Why?")
Grover: "Because I want to know."
Little Girl: "Y."
Grover: "So I can be smart. Please tell me."
Little Girl: "I already did!"
Grover: "You did?"
Little Girl: "Hmm-hmm."
Grover: "Would you tell me again?"
Little Girl: "Y."
Grover: "Because I did not hear you before."
Little Girl: "Y."
Grover: "I don't know! Maybe my ears are on backwards! How should I know?!"
Little Girl: "Grover, let me give you a little hint."
Grover: "All right."
Little Girl: "This is the letter that you hear at the beginnings of words like yellow, yarn, year, and yo-yo."
Grover: "Hmm... It has a cute little yih-yih sound, but I do not know what it is called."
Little Girl: "Y."
Grover: "Maybe because NO ONE WILL TELL ME!"
Little Girl: "Y!"
Grover: "How should I know?! Maybe no one likes me!"
Little Girl: "Y!"
Grover: (crying) "I don't know why no one likes me! I try to be so nice..."
Little Girl: "The answer is Y! Y-Y-Y! The letter is called Y, like W, X, Y, Z!"
Grover: "...That's the letter Y?"
Little Girl: "That's what I've been trying to tell you!"
Grover: "... I am sooo embarrassed..."
Yes, I DO have a two year old...
Yes, I just read that with Grover's voice in my head and laughed the whole way through! 
Grover rocks. Especially Super Grover.
Although I always did think it was kind of weird that Frank Oz used the same voice for Grover and Yoda.
Super Grover was responsible for much mayhem in my house when I was young.
Jim Ignatowski: (cheating on drivers license written test): "psst, hey, what does a yellow light mean?"
Bobby Wheeler (whispering): "slow down"
Jim Ignatowski: "Whaaat doooes a yeeelloww liiight meeean"?
Bobby Wheeler (frustrated): "slow down!"
Jim Ignatowski: "Whaaaaaaaaaaat doooooooooooes a yeeeeellooooww liiiiiiiight meeeeeeean"?
Ah yes, Reverend Jim. When Christopher Lloyd did 'Search for Spock' every time he did a line all I could hear was 'Reverend Jim'. Didn't go with the Klingon commander makeup at all.
Lloyd is a helluva good actor, the first thing I saw him in was 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'.
"Dude, what does mine say?" "Sweet! What does mine say?" "Dude, what does mine say?" "SWEET! What does mine say?" "DUDE!! What does mine say?" "SWEET!!!!!! What does mine say?" "DDUUUUUUDDDEEE!!!!! What does mine say?!?!?!" "SWEEEETT!!!!!!!! What does mine say?!?!?!?!?!"
Who's on first?

I have for the longest time had the mental image of Luke Skywalker running through the swamps of Dagobah, while Grover trains him in how to use the force.
I picture him running around looking all stern with Grover on his back, head thrown back with mouth open in glee, and raising his hands on those floppy arms as if at the top of a roller coaster.

And I nominate this for the "Say What?' section, just for the visual.
