- The last straw
- Say “clear your cache” one more time
Also called Samuel L. Jackson Say One More Time · Jules Winnfield Say What Again
An intense reaction to a phrase you have heard once too often. Name the phrase, then let Jules’s stare supply the impatience.
The expression turns a small annoyance into an exaggerated confrontation. It works for a repeated buzzword, an unhelpful instruction, or a question that has already been answered.
You can echo “say that again” or caption the moment you hear the phrase. Choose a trivial irritation so the overreaction is the joke.
Samuel L. Jackson plays Jules Winnfield in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 film Pulp Fiction. Miramax includes the “Say What Again” scene among its official clips. [1]
During an interrogation, the person Jules is questioning repeatedly answers with “what?” Jules’s furious challenge to repeat the word became the phrase associated with this reaction. [2]
This close-up leaves space along the lower edge while keeping the eyes and mouth visible. One concise line is enough to explain what Jules is reacting to.
For the familiar construction, put the annoying phrase inside “Say … one more time.” A caption beginning “Me when …” also works if the situation is more important than the wording.
