This Seinfeld was on here last night, which includes this sequence:
ELAINE: Well, I hear three distinct sounds. A low rumple...followed by a metallic 'squink'...
GEORGE: Yes! Yes, I heard the 'squink'!
ELAINE: ...followed by a mysterious...'glonk.'
(Lister and Cat are playing Scrabble. Cat lays down all seven letters across a triple-word score)
Lister: What? "JOZYXQE"? That's not a word!
Cat: Sure it is! It's a Cat word.
Lister: OK, what's it mean?
Cat: It's the sound you make when you have your sexual organs trapped in something...
Lister: Is it in the dictionary?
Cat: Well it could be, if you were reading in the nude and you close the book too fast!
[mimes "close the dictionary" action] JOZZYYYXYXYXYYXAHSQukjrfQADS!!!
Umm - I neglected to say that I loved this.
I loved this.
if your onion squishes, it's too old.
i don't even want to know why the knife was on the keyboard.
you're a bastard, cause now i want to make soup.
John -- a classic.
Schad -- is "Cat" short for Catnapping?
Dawn -- Thanks.
Twif -- It could be a problem with the knife.
august: sharpen your knives. also, i think schad is referencing some canadian show. or a british one.

Red Dwarf
Lister has been in suspended animation for 3 million years. Cat is a life-form evolved from his cat. They are stranded in space thousands of light-years from Earth.
They have a lot of time on their hands...
