Mr. Alex Trebek: Correct again! You certainly know your IKEA! And that's a lovely sweater you're wearing, by the way. What's next?
Me: Back off, Alex. I'm married, and you're old enough to be my dad. Just act like a professional and hit me with IKEA Nomenclature for 400.
Mr. Alex Trebek: Of course. The tool IKEA shoppers can totally rock.
Me: What's an 'effing Allen wrench?
Mr. Alex Trebek: Yep! Care to sweep the category?
Me: Don't mind if I do. Bring on IKEA Nomenclature for 500, Alex.
Mr. Alex Trebek: The name of the company the makes the big ass fans that keep the air moving in your local IKEA's warehouse.
Me: Oh, it's gonna take more than that to stop me, Alex. What is Big Ass Fans?

Me: I know. I get a lot of that.
