Sean Connery

The only actor so far to show there is life after 007. One of the truly great sons of Scotland.

The name's Connery. Sean Connery. I was the first Bond. Whenever anyone wants to do a Bond voice, they impersonate me. Since then I've voiced Draco in Dragonheart and played Marko Ramius in Red October. I was in The Untouchables, Zardoz, Outland, and indeed countlessblockbusters, many of them quite good. I've also been an influential voice in the Scottish secession movement. Beat that, Roger!

oil brat

Someone from a family which has grown astronomically wealthy in the oil business, who has never had to work a tap in their life, and who may very well decide that they have nothing better to do with their free time than claim to be in touch with divinity, get a load of gullible people to follow them, and set about murdering innocent bystanders by the thousands. The two best known oil brats in the world at the time of writing reside (1) in the White House, and (2) probably somewhere in Afghanistan.

Advice on oil brats; don't vote for them, don't die for them, don't kill for them, certainly don't piss on them if they're on fire, leave them well enough alone.

bartymoe

Trick frequently played by Bart Simpson in The Simpsons in which he calls up Moe's Tavern and asks Moe for someone whose name is a double entendre. Bart sneaks it past him by giving Moe the person's alleged surname first. (Funniest example is when he gets Moe to ask for a Hugh Jass ... and someone else takes the phone ...,)

Bart (on phone to Moe's): Hello, I'm looking for someone called Hugginkiss, first name Amanda?
Moe (into tavern): Hey, do we have Amanda Hugginkiss? I'm looking for Amanda Hugginkiss!
(Bart and the customers roll on the floor laughing, while Moe fumes.)

I played a bartymoe on the girl in Larry's Bar, the other day. She was so stupid it actually worked.

200C

Dilution used on a homeopathic preparation called Occilococcinum, made from freeze-dried powdered duck liver diluted one hundredfold in solvent 200 times over and supposedly of use in curing cold and flu symptoms. This dilution, if accurately labelled, would represent one molecule of (allegedly) active ingredient in 1 followed by 400 zeroes other molecules, or in other words somewhere between the fourth and fifth exponential powers of the total number of atoms in the observable Universe.

Gimme some 200C vodka and see how drunk I get.

Florida majority

A "majority" derived by excluding those likely to disagree. The type of majority that voted in "President" Bush in 2000.

God plus oil plus a couple of goons equals a Florida majority.

face-hugger

Really creepy sexual partner who wants to bear/sire a child at the first opportunity, tries cleaving to someone who is not interested, and if a kid is conceived and born promptly loses interest in it. In short, a bit of a psycho. After the critter in the Alien movies.

I don't know what Alice ever say in Mark. Now she's trying to offload little Gary onto him. She must be a face-hugger.

mocking is catching

Old expression found in Ireland (or the backwoods of County Clare at any rate), translating roughly as "don't laugh at others, you'll do something stupid/ get old and crotchety/ otherwise get into a fine state youself and wouldn't like being laughed at."

You might think I look silly in this get-up, but just remember, mocking is catching.
