kilroy

In December 1946 the New York Times credited James J. Kilroy, a welding inspector at the Bethlehem Steel shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts, with starting the craze. Usually, inspectors used a small chalk mark, but welders were erasing those to get double-paid for their work. To prevent this, Mr Kilroy marked his welding work with the long crayoned phrase ("Kilroy was here") on the items he inspected. The graffito became a common sight around the shipyard and was imitated by workers when they were drafted and sent around the world. As the war progressed, people began opening void spaces on ships for repair, and the mysterious Mr Kilroy's name would be found there, in sealed compartments "where no one had been before."

"Kilroy was here..."

A name for people who suck the life out of things with either lame comments, or just their general presence.

Pulling a Kilroy

To be an asshole.

The Margarine Man had a secret secret, he had a secret, and told me to forget what i know.

That's weird.

It gets worse. It turns out that my good friend the Margarine Man is actually that asshole Kilroy.

The neighbor?!!?

Yeah, i guess that's what "Pulling a Kilroy" is, huh?

The Fabulous Killjoys

Comes from My Chemical Romances album (Danger Days - the true lives of the fabulous killjoys) concept. The killjoys, Party Poison (Gerard Way), Fun Ghoul (Frank Iero), Kobra Kid (Mikey Way) and Jet Star (Ray Toro) are fighting against the evil Better Living Industries in California, 2019. Korse is the bald guy in charge of BLi, with the Draculoids as henchmen. Other killjoy types, such as Dr Death Defying, are in league with Poison and his gang. The music videos for Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) and Sing are based on this alternate reality.

I loved the music video for Sing, where The Fabulous Killjoys get murdered by Korse and the Dracs!

reverend killjoy

A dull and serious person with a limited sense of humour who always spoils jokes or light conversation by pointing out any flaw or exception

Person 1: "Damn chip packets only fill up halfway it's so unfair"
Person 2: "Yea mate they're half air what are we paying for?"
Person 3: "Actually, the slight inflation of the potato chip bag with nitrogen serves to prevent product spoilage or damage during transport. Furthermore, the mere volume of a chip bag should not give you an indication of how many chips are inside, but rather the mass of the product which is clearly labelled."
Person 1: "ok Reverend Killjoy"
