MY favourite is from Blackadder, from the episode about Samuel Johnson's dictionary
Dr Samuel Johnson: Here it is, sir: the very cornerstone of English scholarship. This book, sir, contains every word in our beloved language.
Blackadder: Every single one, sir?
Johnson: Every single word, sir!
Blackadder: (to Prince) Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafribularities.
Johnson: What?
Blackadder: `Contrafribularites', sir? It is a common word down our way...
Johnson: Damn! (writes in the book)
Blackadder: Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulations.
Johnson: What? What? WHAT?
