seinfeld
a hilarious comedy TV show about "nothing". It ran from 1990 to 1998. The main star was comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who is good at his profession. However Michael Richards, who starred as across-the-hall neighbor Cosmo Kramer was getting the lion's share of the applause and laughs until the show producers de-emphasized him in the 1996 - 1997 season, when the show's quality dropped and it just wasn't funny anymore. The series finale was sadistic and unfunny. Still, the first six seasons were great. TV hasn't been as much fun since that time.
Seinfeld comes on twice an evening on the local CW channel on week nights. Usually it's a major hoot.

American Idol
a really overhyped bad show, where pretty boys and PYTs get their famous 15 minutes attempting to sing on TV and in most cases, prove that they have absolutely no talent whatsoever. The whole contest is rigged up, the lousiest contestants are purposely kept in the contest for a period of time just to rile up viewers' passions to motivate them to call up and say that the lousy contestant sucks big time. Those who do have any measure of talent at all, winner or not, sometimes get a recording contract and are set up with hack songwriters and producers who put together the "Idol"s first album, which is a pile of trash - IOW, whatever talent there may be is completely wasted. American Idol sucks.
American Idol is a lot like Star Search, a "talent search" TV program of the Eighties that seemed to have all the chumps performing on it.

punk rock
quite simply, punk rock is a restoration of the original rebellious youth attitude and simple fundamentals of expession in rock'n'roll music that was first expressed in the 50s by the giants like Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis (especially in his personal life), and others, as opposed to the clean cut image of some of the pop stars that were dominant at the time. In the mid-60s there was the Velvet Underground who influenced punk by their lyrical themes and feedback and more. Then came what are now considered to be the protopunk bands, who took the practice of pushing the envelope that British bands like the Rolling Stones, the Who and the Kinks initiated to even greater lengths in terms of sound, image and rebellious attitude (the Stooges, the MC5, and many other bands). The term "punk rock" possibly was first used by rock critic Dave Marsh in a rockmag in the early 70s to describe the sound of ? and the Mysterians. An independent movement in rock developed as a reaction because the music had become corporate, pompous, bloated, pretentious, artsy-fartsy, and along with Top 40 pop, just plain cruddy and stupid. Bands started playing their songs short, to the point, loud, and fast, often a three-chord arrangement in accordance with the idiom KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid). The name "punk rock" was applied to this independent movement in rock, the movement was and still a rebellion against the prevailing fads and trends. It has greatly influenced popular music in the 80s decade and beyond, spawning nascent movements like speed metal, new wave, postpunk, grunge and more in terms of style, sound, image, attitude and much more. Punk rock is anti-corporate, anti-establishment, anti-system and anti-conformity. Current bands like Blink 182 and Good Charlotte are NOT punk rock because they don't really have the original rebellious rock'n'roll spirit, gist or attitude of individuality. Music has gotten so corporate now that we very badly need another rock revolution like punk and we need it fast, before rock's just part of the past. Cuz lately it just sounds the same to me... (all due respect to the Ramones).
The Ramones are often considered to be the first actual punk rock band as we know it. This legendary band from Forest Hills, Queens, the Big Apple were greatly influenced by American garage rock bands, the British Invasion, the Beach Boys and girl groups. I saw them four times before they called it quits in 1996. VIVA RAMONES!

clean as your mother's reputation
Basically, this term means that you can't get something any cleaner (or purer) than it is. It's also meant as a compliment by saying that somebody's mother is not a skanky whore or streetwalker. This term appeared in the young adult edition of the novel adaptation of the 1979 sci-fi thriller"Alien".
George the janitor tidied up the restroom so well it's not simply spic and span, it's as clean as your mother's reputation.

building the perfect beast
1. It means that something bad is going to happen, or that something is being created or built that will soon get out of hand. A monster like that made by Dr. Frankenstein.
2. A great album released in late 1984 by former Eagle Don Henley that spawned several really good hits like "Sunset Grill" and "All She Wants to Do is Dance". Tipper Gore in her dunderheaded wisdom bitched that the title track glorified the Anti-Christ, showing once again what an ignoramus she truly is.

1. If we keep fucking up our planet's ecology system we're building the perfect beast, it's gonna strike back at us. WE NEED TO STOP RAPING OUR MOTHER EARTH NOW!
2. Don Henley's "Building the Perfect Beast" and "The End of the Innocence" albums both scored several hits and were widely and critically acclaimed. Then he joined his fellow ex-Eagles in a series of reunion tours that ripped people off and set the standard for tours with extortionate highway robbery ticket prices. In 1995 his excellent greatest hits album came out. In 2000 (which was a very rotten year for music to start with) he finally released a new solo album. It wasn't that hot. Here's hoping that he'll return to his solo career for good, beause he's made some intelligent and damn good music on his own.

Bad Chicken Dinner
in the U.S. Navy, this is a slang term used to denote a Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD), one of the worse type of military discharges given. A discharge like this is basically given for commiting offenses that would count as felonies in the civilian world.
David Doo-no-good was court-martialed today and found guilty of molesting his own daughter. He recieved a reduction-in-rate to the bottom paygrade (E-1), all his pay and allowances were forfeited, he got sentenced to 12 years at the Pebble Factory (the military slammer located at Leavenworth, Kansas),and he will receieve a Bad Chicken Dinner. After that no one will want to hire him, no college will want to admit him, he will need to find some rich bitch to marry and support him. Was the action worth all that? He is one major SMF. No bones about it.

When Donny passed the comprehensive exam for U.S. Naval Nuclear Power School he wasn't just floating on Cloud 9, he was racing around the planet Saturn. It was the happiest moment of his life.
