Song written and performed by donald fagen (1/2 of the jazz Rock band "steely dan".) The song is featured in the closing credits of the film , bright lights big city. A movie based on the novel of the same name. The movie was released in 1988 and features michael j fox among other luminaries.
Centurys end encapsulates the decadence and atavistic devil may care attitude that characterized the 1980s. As evidenced by these closing lyrics: "scratch the cab we'll get. Us a limo. Let's get to the loveseat my friend. Which means look.maybe touch.but beyond that not too much.young love in the city at centurys end!

Derived from online videos charting the 'Fails of the Century', Century Fail is used when a fail is just too spectacular for one year to contain it.
Today I went for ice cream with a friend of the opposite sex. My girlfriend was texting me, asking me where I was. To pacify her, I told her I was desperately trying to get away from some girl who won't stop talking - But I accidentally sent the text to said girl, as she sat next to me. She started to cry into her ice cream. Century Fail.

A loud (enough) minority that worships anything (usually music or creative media) dated as 19XX, or regarding the 20th century. Most of the glazers are 90s-2000s kids, although a good amount are just nostalgic old people. Quotes to spot them: "todAy's MuSic SucKs", "I wAs BoRn iN tHe WrOng GenErAtion", "tHe 80s wAs sUch a BetTer eRa", etc. While there is some logic behind the statement (Only so many chords and melodies and ideas exist, inflation and worse living standards), the past was not exactly a better place (discrimination, less technology, less knowledge, {more likely to die, and/or get fucked over in life because of the two previous disadvantages} etc.)
"Hey did you listen to the new songs released this year"
"UmM, aCtuALly I tHinK mUsIc NoWaDays sUcks"
"Goddamnit, it's a fucking 20th Century Glazer"

An item of clothing (usually underpants) which has started a very long, big boy journey of cleaning up male spunk juice after watching pornography 100 or more times, resulting in a rarity - the century cloth, which ultimately smells fruity and feels like ice.
John: Wow, I just achieved my century cloth last night!
Tom: Wtf is a century cloth?
John: *Throws century cloth at Tom*
John: Behold, my century cloth!
Tom: WTF #£AG3@&%*
