Anyone get annoyed by that fat kid saying mint all the time?
Anyone?
Only people with money say that money doesn't matter.
I've actually come to believe that was the point. The way he kept using it felt like he was trying to either A.) Have his own "thing" (like a catchphrase) or, B.) Trying to get it to catch on with his friends.

My thought exactly.
He's very aware of his own overuse of "mint", but it is to serve a purpose. It gives him his 'thing' for when he later becomes a big shot movie director, and he wants it to have been his thing since day one.
