@thegrenekni3t: Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
I just seem to recall there being a trope for when a character isn't sure how to describe a thing, so - possibly to avoid offence - they focus on the fact that it is... a thing. Let me explain, with this quote from the Fan Remake of Kings Quest II:
There are other variations: I seem to recall a review of an anime DVD running along the lines of "All I can say at this point is that it's 102 minutes long".
Hope this helps!
