“He slimed me!”

 — Dr. Peter Venkman (Billy Murray), Ghost Busters (1984), written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is catch phrases.

Trivia: Though never referred to in the script, the green ghost the guys bust in the hotel was dubbed “Onionhead” by the crew, because of its horrid smell. A scene where the ghost haunts two newlyweds showed this characteristic, but it was cut. Since it was never referred to in the movie, the writers of the animated show came up for a different name for the green ghost: Slimer.
