Sir Carlton's definitions
Refers to hepatitis in general. It is an antiquated expression of obscure origin. It's not well known what the cud part is. It seems very out of place. Indeed, HEPA means liver. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, not any kind of genitals. However, it can be sexually transmitted. So that loosely connects it to the word cunt. The additional T in hepatittis is a mispronunciation by lay people who weren't well versed in medical terms. So what is known about the expression is that there were at least two drifts from its original form. Indeed it was like a game of telephone. Now it is regarded as a very shocking phrase using the word cunt. What's more, it makes no distinction about a person's gender. Men and women alike can contract hepatittis of the cunt
I cannot go in that public bathroom. The toilets are filthy. That'll give you hepatittis of the cunt.

Get the Hepatittis of the cunt mug.Nonsense talk, meaningless language, something said or written in an overly complex, incomprehsible or incoherent way.
Apparently the first known attestation was in a memo by US Representative (Texas) Maury Maverick dated March 30, 1944, banning "gobbledygook language". Apparently coined in imitation of the sounds made by a turkey.
Mr. Maury Maverick was, incidentally, the grandson of lawyer and politician Samuel Maverick, whose behaviour regarding his cattle inspired the term maverick ("offbeat").
The date of the memo is also interesting, because it was four days following the birth of illustrious diva Diana Ross.
Another noteworthy use of the term gobbledygook was in Judge Judy's 60 Minutes interview in 1993, before she got her own show. She said that people who do the right thing are not afraid of her, saying that they are afraid if they come in and do the routine thing, which is to give her a lot of rhetoric and gobbledygook. It is therefore, quite possible, that the word may have been heard on the original Judge Judy, and possibly Judy Justice. Judge Judy was also born 1942, making her a baby whenever Maverick used the term gobbledygook in the aforementioned memorandum.

Get the Gobbledygook mug.All over town or all over a large geographic area, or a distant location. Used the same way people use driving to or all over timbuktu
I done had to drive all over Shaka Zulu to find the things I needed for....
That doctor I had to see is all the way out to Shaka Zulu.
I love just driving all around Shaka Zulu with no destination, just enjoying the open road and the scenery.

Get the Shaka zulu mug.A, second to none. In the US, 220 is thought of as high power, so something being called 220 means high test, quality, etc.
B, a 240 volt mains circuit. Early on in house wiring, 110 and 220 were often used. The US upgraded to a 120/240 standard, though still commonly referred to as 110 and 240 respectively. In Europe many times even recently the standard was 220 with many countries adopting a new 230 standard, so may be colloquially referred to as 220

Get the 220 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?
by Sir Carlton June 7, 2023
Get the Joyces mug.Rude, mean, exhibiting poor manners. This definition is old school. It was often used by older folks correcting children who are, well, being ugly. This definition hasn't anything to do with one's physical appearance. However it can be used more generally, like talking about a person who cussed you out, talking ugly to you. Another example is when you have to tell something the ugly truth, like saying " I don't mean to be ugly but..."
Then there's of the definition of not being considered aesthetically appealing, repulsive
Redd Foxx came up with all kinds of jokes on Sanford and Son, his character Fred Sanford firing off incessant remarks about Esther, being ugly. It has become a staple, especially in African American humour in TV and movies, for example Madea's brother Joe talking about a battery acid chemical peal to scrub all that ugly off her face.

Don't hit your sister, brother, etc. That's ugly.
I don't mean to be ugly, but you shouldn't be ugly towards people like that
God don't like ugly (in the sense of not treating others right)
Redd Foxx: Vengeance is mine, and ugly is yours.
