I’ve seen people using “that’s what she said” in a very serious setting, as a way to say “good point/touché”. They had no idea it was from the Office.

    I learnt the German word “geil” from context to mean something like “awesome” or " really good".

    At some point I went to some mega fancy restaurant, like dressed up fancy and everything. The waiter asks how the entrees were, and I respond “geil”. My wife burst out laughing and later explains to me that while “geil” is used to mean “awesome”, it’s very much slang and actually means “horny”.

      for what its worth, you can answer „how was the food“ with geil, just not in a fancy restaurant.

      Huh I dunno, I feel like its usually used as “awesome”, its just rather colloquial
