*** Who keeps coffee in the freezer?
*** Anyone who wants to keep it (the grounds, not the brewed drink) fresh longer?
*** Actually keeping coffee in the freezer is detrimental to the beans or the grounds and creates a weaker brew that ends up being far more bitter than what it should be. Unless you were to freeze individual pots worth of the grounds and keep them in the deep dark nether regions of your freezer so they dont get any condinsation.

* There was actually a fairy tale (Goose Girl at the Well is the Grimm version, but there are a lot of variants) about this where [[KingLear a king asked his three daughters to tell them how much they loved him]]. The girl who loved him best would fare the best. While her sisters claimed they loved their father as much as sugar and as much as the prettiest dress, the unlucky heroine (usually [[YoungestChildWins the youngest]]) told her father she loved him as much "as meat loves salt". He wasn't particularly pleased by this answer. In some versions of the tale his kingdom is cursed to go without salt and he rapidly comes to realize just how critical the substance really is.
** Sounds like a variation on KingLear, except in that case, the youngest simply refused to provide a flowery metaphor, instead stating simply that her love for her father was ShapedLikeItself
*** KingLear is the variation.

* An inversion of this trope from the Scenes From A Hat game on ''WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' is "Things you can say about your X, but not your girlfriend". Popular versions are "car/truck" ("Yeah, you could fit twenty in there!") or "dog", which results in an epic, single-word instance of GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[spoiler:"Come."]]

** It's a pity that they don't make black metal then.
*** Because if it was black metal, it would be "Grah ghaah ghe ghraahgh aghahghia dgui uidgni" (I mash my keyboard and magic happens)
*** You can like something without having to make it.

* One semi-infamous bad webcomic (whose name is not easily remembered) is posted fairly often in certain forums to satirize racism in other webcomics. It features a superhero punching out a black man who had just offered him a drink, saying "I like my beer like I like my rap music... NONE AT ALL."
