Possible to add trivia columns to voice line pages?
E.g. "Boy, this here is just gonna keep happenin' and happenin'." refers to the scout's item, The Milkman: the engineer declares himself capable of establishing and maintaining repeat sexual partners and suggests the scout is actually unable to do so.
I'm not a Moderator but this sounds incredibly far-fetched. The "keeps happening and happening" is Engie just referring to him having killed Scout multiple times now, suggesting it's going to happen more often.
What Poplinn said, it's referencing how Engineer has killed Scout over and over.

I'm not sure it's so simple. "Dominated, string-bean." "What in Sam Hill were you thinkin', string-bean?" In Expiration Date, Scout asks Miss Pauling on a date. String bean is a "Sam Hill"/euphemism for Korean women (North Korea is known for Chollima: lima bean, bean = clitoris), so engineer is suggesting that while Scout claims he has good taste in women, Scout will end up "offering chicken wings" / failing to make any progress.
The term "Sam Hill" is used as a euphemism for hell in exclamations, calling someone a "string bean" refers to them being very thin.

(There are other North Korea jokes, such as "You're dumb as a box of rocks!". AGER2 found themselves "between a rock and a hard place": see Grandmother Mago creation myth.)
I would assume dumb as a box of rocks is also a THX1138 joke: engie is being made to speak by whatever sent the moths into the obsolete competitor factory, so to speak.
"Between a rock and a hard place" is a very common expression, this is all very far-fetched and has no correlation whatsoever.

AGER2 crew says they "pee on" Kim Il-Sung after they were caught. Grandmother Mago, an Eastern North Korean creation myth (where they were caught), pees hard enough to shatter a rock. (The hard place refers to the US where they would be punished for being caught.) Anyway I'm not worried about this... Russian is equal language to media items, I think this trivia is pretty good!
I think you're looking too far into this. It all sounds way too far fetched and I would suggest, if I may, to not any of these.
None of these things have any correlation to one another. Trivia should only be factual stuff and not "throwing stuff against the wall and see what sticks" kind of speculations. Again, I'm no mod but if all your trivia suggestions for engineer's voice lines are like this maybe stop suggesting them?
