Morrissey

From the midlands, peaky blinder, canal boat owner

You see that man over there? He’s from Coventry, he’s a right Morrissey!

Thanks Morrissey

Phrase to be used when someone delivers bad news in an otherwise pleasant conversation or time. It comes from the idea that Morrissey (solo artist and frontman of The Smiths) wrote depressing lyrics which were then often juxtaposed with quite upbeat or happy music. For example the song "Girlfriend in a Coma" or the chorus lyrics to "There is a Light that never comes out"

Dave - "My wife is pregnant, I'm going to be a father!"

Sally - "That's awesome, congratulations Dave!"

Steve - "The baby might be born with a disability"

Dave - "Oh thanks Morrissey!"

Hilary Morrissey

One of the weirdest people you will ever meet. Has little to no fears and only really shows emotion when she’s drunk.

“Christ it’s hilary morrissey hide behind that bush”

morrissey dance

The Morrissey dance has been around since the 1980's, it involves flailing the arms and legs in an unusual fashion, people performing the dance can be easily recognised by the trail of gladioli or daffodils they leave behind. This dance was created by Morrissey, at the time of it's creation he was the lead singer of The Smiths.

Why is that man flailing his arms about and moving in an odd fashion?
Well he's just doing the Morrissey dance.

morrissey friday

A Friday when you have to work on Saturday, so you can't really enjoy it like it's the end of the work-week. The opposite of a Bon Jovi Friday.

"T.G.I.F., bro!"
"Naw, bro. I gotta work tomorrow. Today is a Morrissey Friday."
"That sucks, bro."

The Morrissey Effect

When an artist produces excellent work but their quality as a person is subpar.

"I really love Ender's Game, but Orson Scott Card is a crazy homophobe. That's the Morrissey Effect"
