In… Weight

This response can only be made after the word “In” followed by a pregnant pause. The inception of this obscure but often quoted phrase derives from a very specific comedic moment from the greatest of all quiz shows; (that features darts); Jim Bowen; and a bendy Bully. A young dartist contestant was being questioned somewhat expertly by the dapper and forever aged Jim Bowen about his weight loss. Jim - “So how much have you lost?” Dartist – “32 pounds” Jim – “In?” <pregnant pause> Dartist – “weight” Jim glowers typically hangdog, thus eliciting a riotous explosion of laughter!
