Iv seen it a lot around these forums, and since I'm still somewhat new to Dakka I was wondering if there was any history behind this phrase.

"The Imperium is nothing if not willing to go to any lengths necessary. So the Trekkies are zipping around at warp speed taking small chucks out of an nigh-on infinite amount of ships, with the Imperium being unable to strike back. feth it, says central command, and detonates every vortex warhead in the fleet, plunging the entire sector into the Warp. Enjoy tentacle-rape, Kirk, we know Sulu will." -Terminus

"This great fortress was a gift to the Blood Ravens from the legendary Imperial Fists. When asked about it Chapter Master Pugh was reported to say: "THEY TOOK WHAT!?""

It's a line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail... You can Google it, but without seeing the movie, it kinda loses its punch...

In geek circles Holy Grail is probably the most quoted film EVAH so it's worth seeing.

And it is a jolly good film.

I think you'll find that it's "fetchez la vache", fake-french for "fetch" combined with "la vache", meaning "cow".

Thank you for the answer everyone! I'll see if I can catch the movie on netflix!
