ISTSOTY 

I send this smile over to you. A great way to sign off mash notes. Or emails to your main squeeze. Or letters to prisoners for that matter.

A more personal, heart-felt sign-off than "Best" or "Yours", etc.

Inspired by the song "Disarm" by the Smashing Pumpkins.

... I can't wait till I see you this Saturday.

ISTSOTY,
Billy

big swinging dick

1. the financial industry's term for a rainmaker; a Wall Street executive who brings in enormous amounts of money for the firm, possibly because he has just screwed a customer.

An expression made famous by Michael Lewis in Liar’s Poker, published in 1989.

2. a mover and shaker in any organization

Calling some one a dick is an insult.
Calling some one a big dick is a bigger insult.
Calling some one a big swinging dick is a term of respect.

Not a nickname for a large gorilla named Richard.

But Dick Perle didn't want to be a mere influence peddler. He wanted to be a businessman, a venture capitalist, a Big Swinging Dick.
