In the old days we'd have a saying for women who thought they were "all that" -------- Miss Fine Thang. The whole block would be in on it -- little kids would follow her down the street ridiculing her "Oh my, you walk SO FINE".
And people would be calling her that all her life.

Get the all that mug.(n) A wide-spread and long-lived ridiculous scare during the 1980s and 1990s about LSD laced tattoos using a blue star design. Supposedly temporary tattoos were handed out to unsuspecting middle school students during recess. The tattoos were said to leach LSD through the skin. Dozens of law enforcement agencies and health departments, starting with the New Jersey Police Department Narcotics Bureau in 1980, have issued warnings about this “blotter acid” -- none of which is remotely true. Over the years scores of different flyers have been handed out to local PTAs throughout the country, often produced at home by scared but well-meaning and clueless parents, asserting that LSD tattoos bearing the designs of Mickey Mouse (as Sorcerers Apprentice), butterflies, clowns, red pyramids, colored microdots, and even Bart Simpson, were making the rounds of local school yards. Law enforcement and health agencies now know the information was untrue, but the hoax still is recycled on use-net groups.
Ironic blow-back:
Many professional tatoo artists report that a favorite request is for blue star tattoos.

Get the blue star mug.Restaurant lingo meaning "take an item off the menu." By extension it can also mean to get rid of almost anything (including doing away with somebody). The Urbandictionary entry attributing the term to the 1980s is erroneous. I worked as a short order cook in the late 1960s and it was in use in a half dozen NewYork city joints where I worked. Oldtimers say the term was around in the 1940s and that the derivation is Article 86 of the New York Liquor Code which describes the circumstances under which liquor should be withheld from a customer.
