Only Moon Zappa and a handful of girls from Van Nuys.

And even then only in the summer of 1982.

That one'll Fup the kids!

Was talking to a friend about playing records and his 13 year old asked what a record is.

Most americans don't use it, but I love the term "Bonkers". The boys from Top Gear (proper British Top Gear) have some gems of exclamation and explanation

I like telling people to "go pound salt" or that something ridiculous is "a bunch of malarkey"

I'm also fond of telling people to "bugger off" or using other variations of that Brit slang. Most people just give you a strange look, like they know they've just been insulted but not exactly sure how haha. It's funny to see people's faces on the rare occasion that they know what it means.

Lately I've been watching the movie Dirty Work and I keep replaying the Don Rickels scenes. I'm anxiously awaiting the time I can tell some jerk to "get a horse and go live in the mountains and stop bothering people"
