1.A card which, as the legend has it, was being left by the American troops during the Vietnam war on dead bodies of those whom they had killed. They were also used to scare away Viet Congs soldiers without firefight since the latter believed a spade, according to the Vietnamese tradition, to be a herald of death and ill-fortune. In Coppola's 'Apocalypse Now' one of the American soldiers (presumably played by Robert Duvall) throws such a card onto the lifeless body of some Vietnamese.

A group of rock'n'rollish celebrities in the UK made up of young people born to famous, rock'n'roll parents/socialites whose bands/solo acts were milestones in the history of music. This group includes: Daisy Lowe (Pearl Lowe's and Gavin Rossdale's daughter), the Geldof sisters (Sir Bob Geldof's and Paula Yates's daughters) but also Kate Moss or Agyness Deyn (the modelling rockocracy). The group promotes its own lifestyle that is comprised of parties, unorthodox way of dressing, and the love of hard music. They're considered a very cool and trend-setting bunch of people.
Pixie Geldof was hailed the coolest girl in London prolly thanks to her connection to the rockocracy.
