A well-known trilogy of movies starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. A handful of corruptions have arisen from the movie.
A misheard quote from a song in the movie
A misheard line from the first movie that Adam and Josh decided to stick with and apply to other cases. During the scene in which George McFly confronts Biff and Biff begins to twist George's arm backwards, Lorraine begs Biff to stop, yelling "You'll break his arm!" Adam and Josh somehow heard "You'll crank his arm!" and took delight in the unusual phrase.
It is now used to describe the result of any kind of arm injury. For example: "While playing basketball, Adam attempted to dunk but missed and fell on his side, cranking his arm."
A specific quote made by Biff in Back to the Future Part II when revealing to Marty that he had killed Marty's father, George McFly. When Marty tells Biff the police will match the bullet with his gun, Biff responds "Kid, I own the police! Besides, they couldn't match up the bullet that killed your old man!" with added emphasis on "bullet" making, it sound like "boolit". Often, when mentioning a bullet in a sentence, Adam or Josh end the sentence with rest of Biff's phrase along with the oddly pronounced "boolit" instead of the actual end of the sentence.
This phrase comes from Back to the Future Part II regarding CPR Kid's (also known as "Wallet Guy") concern when Marty grabs the almanac from Biff after George knocks him out. Marty reaches into Biff's coat, grabs the almanac, and runs. The CPR Kid repeatedly notifies bystanders that he thinks Marty "took his [Biff's] wallet". Similar in practice to Biff's "boolit" phrase, when the subject of a wallet comes up or is mentioned, Adam or Josh usually interrupt, making sure to notify the person they're interrupting that they "think he took his wallet".
