After watching many streams over the last year, one thing popped into my head - how phrases & sayings we take for granted when we hear them at WDW would sound in the "real world". For example, someone in the chat last night asked "How many ears do you have Jenna?", and of course I, and everybody else knew exactly what was being asked. Go ahead & ask that of someone in the real world & you'll likely get the 'this person's NUTS' look in return. Another: "I'm in Canada now, heading for Italy. It'll be about a 10 minute walk". Say that in Toronto & see what the response is.
I'm not talking about resort specific sayings like "Let's go to Splash", or "The TTA is 101" containing park/resort/ride specific terms or acronyms, but sayings that make perfect sense within the context of Disney, but sound either silly or crazy outside of it. OK Hoppers & Moppers, show me what you got...

I get weird looks when I ask someone if they are staying on or off property.

One must always go left at the hub after walking down Main Street USA - never right.

"We just saw lions on our safari, and this afternoon we're headed to Everest!"*
*I know both of these are technically attractions, but since they're also both words describing things in the real world (which wouldn't normally be on the same continent!), I'm bending the rules a little bit, haha.

I'd be happy to wait 20 for thunder as soon as were off of buzz.
Do you need to use the washroom or can you wait until we get to France?
We would have had a higher score if our left pilot and our gunner were paying attention.
We were moving so fast I wasn't able to see the disco yetti.
