That's a dealbreaker, ladies!
Context
This line is spoken by Liz Lemon, played by Tina Fey, on the TV show 30 Rock.
Who better to give relationship advice than Liz Lemon, a woman who sits at home in her Snuggie working on her night cheese? (Liz, call us.)
Somehow, Liz Lemon manages to parlay her no-nonsense dating advice into a talk show, appropriately called "Dealbreakers," in which she lets you know whether or not your relationship problem is (what else?) a dealbreaker.
While she didn't create the phrase "dealbreaker," she definitely popularized it, and that, friends, is a dealmaker.
Where you've heard it

Hey, that wasn't too hard. Stay tuned for our next venture: Shmoop Dating.
