Anyone know if there's a significance to that quote or does Elliott just say it randomly?

SITH HAPPENS.
Isn't that a line from 'Private Benjamin' starring Goldie Hawn? I'm also thinking a TV movie with Rue McLanahan...

Does anyone know exactly, or close to, all of the things he said when he realized he could speak spanish? I almost pissed my pants during that part.
That's cold, Obi-Wan.
Well I know it english:
"I'm sorry I don't speak english"
-Wait a minute I am speaking spanish
-(que diablo - "what the hell")
-If my Mrs [?] my spanish teacher could see me noe.
-She always said I couldn't bring together two sentences.
-HELLO,
-I LIKE IT VERY MUCH
-MY NAME IS ELLIOT
-Hello Juan, where is the library?
-No thanks, I am allergic to shellfish
Yhat's like his first lines in Spanish. I think I may have left one out, but thats pretty much it.

Interesting link but I've gotta say I'm not sure about the validity. The part about women having to work at a time when it wasn't expected makes sense but as for cleaning the kitchen nude, as far as I'm concerned doing anything around the house nude is the way to go.

It's "trash talk". Insulting ones mother is the highest form of trashing someone. Wearing army boots means that she is uncouth, trailer trash, etc.
shareIt goes back at least to World War II, and Bugs Bunny says it in some old Looney Tunes.
If you need to insult someone, here's a better one (and well suited to Brendan Fraser):
may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits
You--lighten up. You--big trouble. You--get in the car.share
I'm sure that this dates back to World War II at least. I found this at a forum somewhere out there:
When I was a little boy, it wasn't uncommon. As a little boy, I thought it was an insult that meant that the mother in question wasn't very feminine. Then I got a little older, and just about the time the expression started to disappear, it occurred to me that it meant that the mother in question wasn't very ladylike.
The insult was never really directed at the mother...the statement, "Yuh mudda wears army boots" was meant as, and taken as, a mild to strong insult issued by one man to another. It was only a little stronger than
�Go jump in a lake!
�Go soak your head! (I never could figure out what this one was all about.)
�Drop dead!
