Murphy scam

A robbery scam where a woman poses as a prostitute and lures the john/mark into a room. When they are in bed, the woman's male partner rushes in, usually brandishing a gun and posing as a jealous husband or jilted lover. The mark leaves in a hurry, without his clothes or valuables. The perpetrators, or "Murphy artists" collect their loot and escape.

A similar version was used in the movie Porky's as a prank involving a black guy with a machete, chasing the naked crew into the woods.

New Orleans used to be the capital of the Murphy scam.

greatest band ever

Title bestowed on the latest cookie-cutter nü-something band by ignorant MTV obsessed neophytes who know nothing about music, while failing to realize that earlier, and greater, bands influenced the latest crop of down-tuned power-chording hair farmers, and even greater artists influenced them, and so on.

Bands that do not qualify for the title "greatest band ever":

Anything recorded after 1980

End of list. Sorry if you're butt-hurt, but it's true.
