Thanks Morrissey 

Phrase to be used when someone delivers bad news in an otherwise pleasant conversation or time. It comes from the idea that Morrissey (solo artist and frontman of The Smiths) wrote depressing lyrics which were then often juxtaposed with quite upbeat or happy music. For example the song "Girlfriend in a Coma" or the chorus lyrics to "There is a Light that never comes out"
Dave - "My wife is pregnant, I'm going to be a father!"

Sally - "That's awesome, congratulations Dave!"

Steve - "The baby might be born with a disability"

Dave - "Oh thanks Morrissey!"

Morrissey 

Without a doubt, the greatest lyricist that ever lived. Former lead singer of 80's band "The Smiths", Morrissey has made a name for himself in popular music and is known for his outrageous (yet highly laughable) comments. He is also a vegetarian, and a native of the UK, who current makes his home in Los Angeles.
did Morrissey really say "bring me the head of Elton John"?!!

Morissettian Irony 

The circumstance of something unfortunate happening in exactly the way one expects. Opposed to all classical definition of irony.

From the name of 90's pop songstress Alanis Morissette, referring to her 1996 hit single "Ironic" in which a number of circumstances that were not classically ironic were famously referred to as such many times across many media for several months.
A man afraid of flying dies in a plane crash? That isn't ironic at all! That's Morissettian irony!

Rain on a day on which one would prefer it did not rain, as, for instance, one's wedding day.

Getting stuck in traffic when you're already late for work.

Meeting the man of your dreams, and then finding out that somebody else liked him enough to marry him.

Licking a flag pole in winter and getting your tongue stuck to it.

Throwing rocks at a bear, and then getting mauled by said bear.

Having relations with a prostitute and, as a result, contracting a venerial disease.

Hilary Morrissey

One of the weirdest people you will ever meet. Has little to no fears and only really shows emotion when she’s drunk.

morrissey dance 

The Morrissey dance has been around since the 1980's, it involves flailing the arms and legs in an unusual fashion, people performing the dance can be easily recognised by the trail of gladioli or daffodils they leave behind. This dance was created by Morrissey, at the time of it's creation he was the lead singer of The Smiths.
Why is that man flailing his arms about and moving in an odd fashion?
Well he's just doing the Morrissey dance.

Morisset 

Morisset high is home to bomb threats, rapes, stabbings, fires and druggy's. There are the loosest vaginas and most STD invaded sluts in Australia (most probably the entire world) in Morisset.
Girls have so much sex that their vaginas are crusty and dead;

"I walked past this girl from Morisset and I could smell her dead cunt an hour after she walked past"
