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.

stoner

A consummate professional at the art of getting stoned. Generally still works a kiddie job like pizza delivery; may or may not still live with parents.

I saw this line of stoners outside the ticket office, and I was like, what?! Then I realized they were selling Phish tickets.

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.

Richard, can I say 'doo doo'?
