Referencing Rocky Horror in essay?

In one part of my essay I write, “the antici (say it) pation was palpable” do you get it? Should I include this?

I think very few would get it.

No.

I’m quite familiar with Rocky Horror but I’m not sure I would get that line out of context/without reference to the movie.

The point isn’t creative writing or clever phrases. Unlike hs writing, this is for your admit review.

You’re not telling us enough here for any idea at all what your point will be, or if the planned essay will be relevant.
