Not feeling all that great. May also mean person, place, thing not looking all that great. The first known use of the term in mainstream was from I Love Lucy in 1952 where she goes to the doc and finds out she's pregnant. The character mentioned her grandma "making the word up". It's uncertain if it's the character grandma or actress's real life grandma who made it up, or claimed to. Alternative spelling dauncey.

Get the Dauncey mug.Porta john. A term which is thought to be very recently coined. It sounds like a British slang. However it is Southern in this definition, supposedly originating in Richmond Virginia.
I can't stand using a porty. It smell horrendous. And in summer it's so hot that along with the smell may choke one to death in 30 seconds.

Get the Gannish mug.1972-1977 CBS. Catch phrase used by Aunt Esther directed at Fred Sanford in response to his insults, frequently referencing all that ugly on her face. She will exclaim, "Why ya ole fish eyed fool!". Whilst the fish eyed meaning may be obscure, though has been used in the 60's or earlier, it may be speculated that Esther was telling Fred why he don't look in the mirror.

Get the a time or two mug.Plural of joist is joists. Due to the similarity with the mostly girls' given name, some people dumb it down, by humour or perhaps ignorance, and say joyce/joyces.
What size steel joyces I need for my floors and ceilings? I'm using steel and masonry to build my house?

Get the Joyces mug.Sexually explicit content. It can be stories, porn, tv shows and movies, with varying degrees of sexual content. It is a pretty subjective term. People may disagree on whether a mild innuendo constitutes smut or not. But over time mild content was considered less and less smutty. But hardcore pornography and x rated movies remain smutty. In high school, and you may joke if you want, I was offended by ancient Greco Roman statues in the history books and called it smut. The teacher said it was not. The word smut in this definition was attested to in 1983 in the tv show Mama's Family. Main character Thelma, (Vicki Lawrence) didn't approve of smut and used the term in the first episode and periodically throughout the series run. However it can be seen in later episodes she still frowns on it but no longer got so offended by very mild content.
Well how did this smut get into my house? You most certainly can not you're far too young to be reading that smut...
...it isn't smut Thelma. The section the child read was taken totally out of context...
...if I'd have known that trash was being written up in that studio I would've put a stop to it a long time ago.
