secret agent man's definitions

acme

Company Wile E. Coyote always ordered his equipment from, usually with disasterous results. Now in use to denote a shoddy, cheap, or inferior product, the use of which will probably lead to certain doom.

We needed a professional welder, but all we had was Doug and his Acme set.

My drums were stolen, so I'm getting by with this Acme set.

The good news is, they finished my x-rays; the bad news is, I think I saw 'Acme' on the side of the machine.

(Squinting at footage of the shuttle blowing up) Wait... I see... a... c... m... e...

potzrebie

Mad magazine equivalent of the computer programmer's foo, that is, a word which can be used to stand in for any other (as in, for example, fictitious brand names, etc.)

The label said to induce vomiting, so I applied the Potzrebie maneuver.

I'm sorry, Ms. Jones, we're going to have to charge you $500 dollars for this repair... your, uh, Potzrebie device was broken. Yeah.

doom town

1. Minature city built by the makers of the atomic bomb to test the A-bombs effects on buildings;

2. Christian religious wacko comic about Sodom and Gommorrah, essentially giving license to the crazies for hate crimes against homosexuals;

3. Any city that looks like hell has broken loose and stopped to stay a while.

I was in Baltimore yesterday, and I got this feeling: doom town.

Cleveland used to be more a doom town, but the rock museum made it suck slightly less.

bitchnet

Hypothetical network all cruel, aggressive women are tapped into.

My boss was a pain in the ass, and then, she must have used bitchnet to tell my wife to give me hell also.

stoner

A consummate professional at the art of getting stoned. Generally still works a kiddie job like pizza delivery; may or may not still live with parents.

I saw this line of stoners outside the ticket office, and I was like, what?! Then I realized they were selling Phish tickets.

cruncher

Hypothetical device they have at the post office to mangle your mail with.
