We cite examples

We get into a habit of bringing in our knowledge of the daily soaps in every conversation. From somewhere or the other, we connect a real life situation to the scenario once shown in some daily soap. While insulting or praising a person, we generally draw a comparison to some character and start elucidating how that character is worth a praise or dislike. Many a times it happens that an action of ours is referred to some xyz character of a daily soap by our elders and in the process of discussing the consequences of that act, the entire episode of that serial is narrated.
