"I thought I understood z-plurals: they indicate something which is both youth-oriented and extreme.

"With the X, I know what you are thinking. It's a marketing thing. You see, I wanted to call the show Going to Other Planets, but research says that shows with X in the name get better ratings."

Bender: There's nothing wrong with murder, so long as you let Bender wet his beak.
