Peas and Carrots
I was watching my latest Netflix flick, Straight Jacket, the other night and the most random scene was so funny to me. They were filming this court room scene in the movie and there were spectators in the background. When they were supposed to be murmuring things they would just say, " peas and carrots! peas and carrots!" Apparently, "when silent conversation is needed on TV (or in a movie), actors usually mouth either "natter-natter...grommish-grommish" or "peas and carrots...peas and carrots" silently in the background." Now when people are talking to me and they make no sense, I just say, "peas and carrots!" You know, they'll add the sound in later...
