"Based" is contemporary slang for praiseworthy.
Unfortunately it's been heavily appropriated by the alt-right.

The pun is the lowest form of wit." The rejoinder is "It is, therefore, the foundation of all wit." and since things are based on foundations... Cue Quis popping in and saying it was a coincidence. Also base and foundation are synonyms

I prefer cinnamon in buns more than synonyms in puns.

In "Wannabe," when one of the Spice Girls goes, "Zig-a-Zig...AHHHHHH," it sounds like she just had a really good bowel movement.
(That said, I'm glad you and your man had fun dancing to that song, Ibby.)

Ah, that was indeed a satisfied AHHHH, Fanfie! and thanks We both like alcohol, and after a couple beers we're on the dance floor... not that people would pay to watch us, but we definitely look like we're having fun

Top Hat is probably the most famous Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie, but I like The Gay Divorcee and Roberta much better.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

I'm actually surprised that movie hasn't been remade/updated making use of the modern meaning.

It would probably revert to its original title The Gay Divorce if it did. Having said that, while I'm all for LGBT romantic movies, the original was so fine with Astaire and Rogers that it doesn't need to be remade.
Now if they were to reboot Bewitched to be the story of Sam and Darrin, that would be beyond awesome.

Well, given that the whole plot pretty much involves aspects of 1930s divorce law that aren't really relevant today, it would have to be an extremely loose adaptation anyway.

The times, they are a-changing. I love that song, because it's not an "us versus them" generational kind of thing, it's more like an sympathetic elegy for the inevitable passing of an epoch.
