I can't say my wife loves the fact anytime I see a peanut, I can't help but ask if anybody wants one (this includes while being in a grocery store).

It has Andre the Giant in it. So, no.
I've always considered it a chick flick. I can't count how many girls I've had say that is their favorite movie, and trust me I've had a lot of girls tell me things.
I really don't think it matters; it's just a fun, well-made, enjoyable film.

Chick Flick? Princess Bride? No way. It's an adventure movie.

and it's amazing

There are only three movies I can think of that are more quotable than The Princess Bride: The Big Lebowski, Clerks, and Groundhog Day.

Yup. BRIDE is a fantasy adventure, and one of the best of the genre. An underlying love story doesn't make a movie a chick flick, having Hillary Duff in the cast does.

Quick! Name the game Fred Savage plays when Peter Falk comes to read the story!

Double Quick! What's the name of the Master's of the Universe character next to Fred's television?

Triple Quicker! What are Fred's favorite sports teams?

I can quote almost the entirety of Back to the Future's script, but I don't know if that makes it a particularly quotable movie...

I saw about half of it when it was on TV, but I really wasn't paying attention at the time. I guess I could give it another watch.

It's definitely not a movie to watch edited. I doubt they'll air the classics like "Suzanne sucks pussy!" or "Yeah, well fuck him", or even "You can only drink so much and screw so much".

A lot of people don't like Slap Shot. I do not understand these people.

Hell, I just talked myself into watching SLAP SHOT again today. Maybe my 100th viewing for all I know. Time to put on the foil.
