Speaker: Liz Lemon

"That's a dealbreaker!"

That's a dealbreaker, ladies!

Context

This line is spoken by Liz Lemon, played by Tina Fey, on the TV show 30 Rock.

Who better to give relationship advice than Liz Lemon, a woman who sits at home in her Snuggie working on her night cheese? (Liz, call us.)

Somehow, Liz Lemon manages to parlay her no-nonsense dating advice into a talk show, appropriately called "Dealbreakers," in which she lets you know whether or not your relationship problem is (what else?) a dealbreaker.

While she didn't create the phrase "dealbreaker," she definitely popularized it, and that, friends, is a dealmaker.

Where you've heard it

People drop this one whenever they're giving out dating advice. He doesn't know the difference between you, your, and you're? Dealbreaker. 95% of her Instagram posts are selfies? Dealbreaker.

Hey, that wasn't too hard. Stay tuned for our next venture: Shmoop Dating.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

Quoting this line too much? Dealbreaker.
