Lexicon. From the movie Titanic:
β(Captain Smith) figures anything big enough to sink the ship they’re going to see in time to turn. But the ship’s too big, with too small a rudderβ¦ it can’t corner worth shit. Everything he knows is wrong.β
Not so much a misquote, as a paraphrase. βYour rudder is too small,β means you donβt have enough resources for the task at hand. Thus:
βI really think I can learn general relativity from this Mandarin textbook in six weeks.β
βYour rudder is too small.β
