Secret Agent Man's definitions

potzrebie

Mad magazine equivalent of the computer programmer's foo, that is, a word which can be used to stand in for any other (as in, for example, fictitious brand names, etc.)

The label said to induce vomiting, so I applied the Potzrebie maneuver.

I'm sorry, Ms. Jones, we're going to have to charge you $500 dollars for this repair... your, uh, Potzrebie device was broken. Yeah.

unstable molecules

The magic material Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four invented so that superheroes wouldn't shred / burn / rip up their clothing when they used their superpowers. Now used figuratively to mean some material that you just can't get rid of or rip up.

The shrink wrap on this CD must be made out of unstable molecules.

doom town

1. Minature city built by the makers of the atomic bomb to test the A-bombs effects on buildings;

2. Christian religious wacko comic about Sodom and Gommorrah, essentially giving license to the crazies for hate crimes against homosexuals;

3. Any city that looks like hell has broken loose and stopped to stay a while.

I was in Baltimore yesterday, and I got this feeling: doom town.

Cleveland used to be more a doom town, but the rock museum made it suck slightly less.
