Creedmoor's definitions

Zoom lens

The lazy man's dolly or tracking shot. Used effectively only in cases where speed is needed to grab the audiences' attention.
"We're losing light. Let's use a zoom lens instead of going through the difficulties of pre-planning and executing a superior tracking shot."

Larry Fine

The Stooge in the middle. His frizzle-top haircut was frequently ripped from his skull by Moe. Usually stuck with lame dialogue like, "Hey, leave him alone" or "What happened here" or "We better scram." Frequently had the shit beat out of him for doing absolutely nothing. He couldn't have stood more than 4' 4' and frequently looked as if he was smelling something bad, probably Shemp's filthy hair or Curly's wet beer farts.
"Larry fine? No, he's dead like the rest of the Stooges."

Farmer's Wipe

When you don't have a handkerchief or a tissue, you place your thumb over one nostril and proceed to expel your snot out the other. Also know as: Let the Sidewalk Be Your Handkerchief."
I couldn't find a Kleenex, so I leaned out the window and gave a farmer's wipe.

Jerry Lewis' Hair

Chronic punchline for many a late night momologue or stand-up comedy routine. Mr. Lewis himself commented about his hair in a Penthouse interview: "I have more grease in my hair than Anthony Quinn's cunt."
"Oil crisis? We should simply connect a tanker to Jerry Lewis' hair."
