The Poem of Harbarth online: https://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/poe/poe08.htm
Millennium Falcon - the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, and then the Star Wars franchise had to try and retroactively explain why Han Solo didn't seem to know that a parsec is a measure of distance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Falcon
The One With Boopbeak - aka The Ballad of Svipdagr (Bellows' 1936 translation with a fair few thees and thous and that): https://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/poe/poe16.htm
Dune - recently a rather snazzy new film, previously a film I quite liked actually, a couple of TV miniserieses, and six books plus a bundle of others written by the original author's son: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(franchise)
Star Trek - where to start? How do you explain to someone what Star Trek is? Well, here's the official site: https://intl.startrek.com/shows
Ghostbusters: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087332/ (This is the original 1984 movie. We tried ever so hard to like the 2016 one; really, we did. But anyway, this was a quote from the original.)
Ceilidh or cèilidh: https://www.inlingua-edinburgh.co.uk/what-is-the-scottish-ceilidh-and-ceilidh-dancing/ (these are the formal ceilidhs that run like (because they are) folk dancing events. Kind of like those barn dances the Americans do, only in Scotland there's no 'e' in 'whisky'.)
'Kaylee' - Kaywinnet Lee Frye, the irrepressibly optimistic and shiny-hearted engineer on the Firefly-class freighter 'Serenity', from the TV series 'Firefly' and the movie 'Serenity': https://firefly.fandom.com/wiki/Kaywinnet_Lee_Frye (I don't know how she spells 'whisky'. Probably in Chinese ('威士忌酒', I believe).
"You both look pretty groovy" - lyric from the song 'Sweet Transvestite', from 'The Rocky Horror Show': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WDXOO3VM-0
Brandywine Bridge / Buckleberry Ferry - both found in the Shire in Middle-earth; 'The Lord of the Rings'.
Paying the Ferryman - the tradition of 'Charon's Obol': placing a coin under the tongue of a dead person so they can use it to pay the ferryman Charon to take them across the River Styx: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charon%27s_obol
'Donald, Where's Yer Troosers?' - song by Andy Stewart and Neil Grant - first released in 1960, it was a modest hit; re-released in 1989 it did even better and got to number 4 in the UK charts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yw0bLHTOb0
'That escalated quickly.' - From 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy': https://youtu.be/bFWQYMdMIPQ
Lacuna Coil - an Italian gothic metal band: https://www.lacunacoil.com ('Lacuna' also means a gap or unfilled space, usually describing where a piece of text is missing: from the Latin 'lacuna' meaning 'small lake'.)
"A pair of yellow waders and a passport in the name of Emily Berkenstein" - in the first Red Dwarf novel, 'Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers', a hungover Dave Lister comes to after a pub crawl to find himself on Saturn's moon Mimas, with "a lady's pink crimplene hat and a pair of yellow fishing waders, with no money and a passport in the name of 'Emily Berkenstein'." (The pub crawl, by the by, was around London. On Earth. Quite a night, apparently.) : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/349090.Infinity_Welcomes_Careful_Drivers
