The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies. The Movie tells the story of a young woman who is in love, but is betrothed to a prince who she doesn't love. A bit of a confusing explanation, but I'll explain a bit more tomorrow. While the movie sounds like a stereotypical romantic movie, it's actually fairly lighthearted and has tons of comic relief and action.
Inigo Montoya is one of the main characters. His father was killed and he studied swordplay for his whole life and is out for revenge against his fathers killer. This is one of the most famous lines in the movie. When he meets his fathers killer, he says this over and over and draws strength from it. It's seen most often today on T-shirts, but I myself have used the opportunity in meetings where they make you wear one of those sticker name tags to make a reference to The Princess Bride.
Another famous quote from Inigo is this. He only says it once, but this phrase has become a part of our culture. My family often says this when someone mispronounces something or if they use a word in the wrong context. I hope if you hear these used or see them on a T-shirt, you'll know what they mean.
