Words or phrases that remind you of games

There's always that word or phrase that stick from a certain game and everytime I hear them I can't help but think about them.

To me, it happens with two particular words. Everytime I hear the word "semi-final", the announcer from Pokemon Stadium comes to my mind and sometimes I even autocomplete the phrase in my head. You can scroll down the audio list to the semifinals to listen to it.

Another example of this is with the word "chance". Every.Damn.Time. that someone says "chance" I can hear Jill Valentine's dialogue from the opening of RE:3

So does this happen to you? Post your examples!
 
"CHANCE TIME!!" from Mario Party. Every time I hear "chance." It was always so loud, and because I would stay up late when my parents didn't know, I would always have the volume low. But whenever "CHANCE TIME" came up, it woke my parents.

I'm a doctor but every time someone mentions mass effect I smile inside (which kind of sucks because having a mass effect usually refers to blood or Tumor in the brain but cest la vie )
 
As soon as I hear the word 'Cortana' out loud, regardless of context, I immediately start thinking of the opening cutscene for Halo CE.

"Cortana, all I need to know is did we lose them..."
 
Eater (Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater)

Eater (Smash Bros./Fire Emblem: Great Eater)*

Speaking of MGS... nanomachines. As obvious as it is.

The only "unusual" one that comes to mind right now is dispenser, which is gonna be forever locked to TF2.

This always stuck with me for some reason. From Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

One of the knights in the game betrays the main characters, because an enemy says they can revive his dead wife. Way later in the game you meet said wife, who is a shambling corpse that can only say: "Darling. Darling. Darling…darling…darling…darling…"

"Adamant", since the first time I ever heard the word was in FF1, the mineral you got at the Sky Castle to make Excalibur...

Recently a relative has gained some weight and his wife jokingly called him Fat Boy which reminded me of Fatboy from FO3.

Whenever someone says cool drink instead of a cold drink. Monster Hunter item.

Well-done Steak, Monster Hunter.

Blue/Pink Roses, hybrid flowers in general, Animal Crossing.

Guts, reminds me of Berserk and BoF3 in which it was a stat that determined critical chance I think.

Someone calls "Chris" I think "Sheva" RE5
Someone calls "Jonathan" I think "Charlotte" Castlevania PoR.
