This new form of speech reminds me of the Star Trek Next Generation episode named "Darmok" in which a people spoke in metaphor specific to their literary history. Expressions such as "Shaka, when the walls fell" meaning defeat or failure, or "The River Termac, in winter" meaning stop. If you are familiar with literary context, the meaning is clear...like "Romeo and Juliet, on the balcony" means love or romance. Of course music titles works well....but now it is time for me to go like ...er..."A Bat Out of Hell (by Meatloaf)".
