Crazy or crazy in the head. Derived from half French half Vietnamese. Boocoo (Beaucoup) Dien cai dau (Crazy, or literally "crazy head").
A phrase used by Vietnamese street vendors to American GI's to suggest that GI's bargaining offer is crazy. Before Americans stepped onto Vietnamese soil the French were there for around 150 years so their influence can be seen.

1) GI: I will give you 10 cents for that pack of 555 Cigarettes.
Street vendor: "boocoo dinky dau or beaucoup dien cai dau", see-ga-ret phip-tin xu (cigarettes, fifteen cents/piasters).
2) Michael J. Fox: I told them, and they don't care!
Sean Penn: You dinky dau, man, you're "boocoo dinky dau or beaucoup dien cai dau"!! (You're crazy man, you're very crazy in the head!!)
No reference to chicken as suggested by some online interpretation. Although the Sino-Vietnamese word for the Chinese zodiac rooster is Dau there are two kinds of Ds in the Vietnamese language 1) a hard D as in the word Dick, Don, dog; and a soft D prounounce as a Y in the beginning of a word as in Young, yearn, year. The zodiac rooster is with the soft D as in "Yau" not the same as the hard D as in Dau, head.

Get the Dendrapheliac mug.Term used to describe any day in which a musician of critical acclaim passes on. The term generally refers to the day Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper passed on when their plane crashed, but has in recent times been used to describe the passing of other legendary musicians such as Elvis Presley, John Lennon and most recently, Michael Jackson. The term originated from Don Mclean's song 'American Pie', and the event itself is a very emotional time for the music industry, and of course the many dedicated fans of the icon themselves... but it is important to remember that although they are physically gone, the musical contribution they have made to our lives and the music scene in general shall remain with us always...
The day the music died:
Buddy Holly
The Big Bopper
Ritchie Valens
Elvis Presley
John Lennon
Michael Jackson
R.I.P :(
Please note that my opinion is not above other people: you may have your own musical icons that deserve to be up here, which is perfectly fine- but this only refers to the most famous and recognisable musicians where a day the music died has been made upon their passing.

Get the Dende mug.Diandrea is a very beautiful and very intelligent girl with an amazing body. She is fun to be around and is or will be very successful in life. She can come off as nerdy, mysterious and shy but once you get to know her she is the kindest person you will ever met. She is extremely loyal and against cheating. She locks out everyone that tries to get to know her . She has trust issues and is really insecure. She is not that easy to piss off but if you do she will make your life a living hell. If you are dating her , want to win her back or wants to date her I advise you that you don't piss her off . For example be a good boyfriend to her and she will be a good girlfriend to you but you will have to be patient with her because she has trouble expressing her feelings . She might come off as bossy and mean while dating her she is just testing you and you better not fail that test. She will love you in her heart and she will tell you that she hates you and acts if she hates you. Once you get her to actually express her feelings and show her you are not a waste of time, player and a good person she will begin to love you. She loves romantic guys. People will maybe think that she is perfect that's why most people will hate her because they are jealous of her . She also has a badass side that no one knows about but her because she tries to hide that side of her . She is not the the girl to challenge , try to play or out smart her you will regret it or lose.
Guy 1: Diandrea is so hot . I am in love.
Guy 2: I know right. Good luck trying to win her over.
Guy 3: How is she so perfect?
