For those of you who have not seen the movie _The Princess Bride_, the
phrase
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it
means." is
actually a direct quote from the movie. It's just funny, there is no
more
meaning than that. Also, the word that this phrase was talking about,
namely,
inconceivable, was being used correctly in the movie, which is what
makes the
phrase funny.
