Caffeinated: You can never have too much coffee! That's ridiculous!
He went on to tell us that caffeine is what gives him all his energy. And quite frankly, I am so envious, because I need about three cups of tea in the morning just to be functional. It never gives me his level of energy. Mind you, there is a lot less caffeine in three cups of tea than in three cups of coffee.

The next one needs some background: On the next-to-last day of class, Honours Teacher was giving us some pointers on our final papers, including that we should not use "continuance" for "continuation". He went on to insist that "continuance" isn't a word anyway. I turned to the girl next to me and said, "Isn't it a legal term?" She wasn't sure, so I didn't say anything. So, on the last day of class:Honours Teacher: I was wrong about the word "continuance". It's something you ask a judge for, so it is a word.
Girl next to me: Hey, that's what you said!
Me: Yeah.
Teacher: Why didn't you say something if you knew it was a word?
Me: Because I was getting this information from the movie Liar, Liar.

French teacher: You really need to come to the study session on Tuesday.I decided that this was because he believed there was no point on giving up on me altogether, instead of it meaning that I needed all the help I could get.

Linguistics teacher: Do you even know what time class starts?Okay, this one didn't happen. But it probably should have. When I ride the bus, it's a crapshoot as to whether I'll get to campus by 9:30, unless I want to be very very sure and get there an hour early. I was rarely in class on time.
And that was the last day of my semester. So, what memorable quotes have you heard lately?

I can't think up any good quotes (hey, I'm tired). Yay that the semester is done, though :) And if I got the information from a Jim Carrey movie, I'd be hesitant to share it, too.
Can't think of any right now. Maybe after I've had my caffeine. Those are pretty good.
@JE: I know, right? There was no guarantee that it was a word. Or that he was using it properly. :)
@Delores: Caffeine really does do wonders.
Great post, I may have to use some of these.
Use away! :)
