Get the Mancunian Disco Ball mug.Originally used to describe the suspicious day off 'sick' the fabled Disco would have after a heavy drinking session.

Basically, you take a disco day when you can't be fucked to go to work.

Get the disco foam mug.The dumbest night in baseball history. (Along with Ten Cent Beer Night.) July 12, 1979, Comiskey Park, Chicago, Illinois.
The game: Actually, two games were scheduled; it was a doubleheader. Detroit won the first game, 4-1, and the second was canceled because of the mayhem. Chicago (which sucked that year) forfeited to Detroit.
What was intended: The blowing up of disco records in the stadium, as well as two White Sox/ Detroit Tigers games, in front of a crowd of perhaps 20000, with enough security for 35000. The park could hold 40000 or so.
What happened: Over 50000 people came, mostly rock-music fans who didn't care about baseball. People jumped turnstiles in true 70s fashion. Security was sent to the gates, leaving stands undefended. People threw records from the stands, chanted "DISCO SUCKS!", smoked pot, and interrupted play. At the end of the first game, folks drove onfield with a box of records and blew it up, cratering the outfield. Rockers invaded the field, wrecked the batting cage, overran the dugouts, and partied. The cops were called on the rock music folks, which led to more trampling of the field. The field was unplayable, so Chicago had to forfeit.
Why: Disco was reaching the end of its "golden age", and baseball was at a popularity low. Furthermore, the White Sox were having a bad year. So the White Sox honchos decided to hold an anti-disco night. They invited disco haters to come into the stadium with a discount if they brought in a disco record.

Get the Disco Demolition Night mug.Specifically a smelly fanny. Refers to the smell that will emanate after said owner of fanny has been dancing for 9 hours in leather trousers. Can be used in a non-disco context to refer any malodourous female genitalia.
I had to hold my fingers outside the taxi window, the smell was that bad. I think it is fair to say she had a disco snatch.

Get the Disco Snatch mug.Language, as with many forms of complex communication, is linear. Its use and context establish tone (the attitude in which the author conveys), with the logical expectation of consistent perpetuation. When one exhibits an unanticipated deviation from the aforementioned parameters, such that its register, dialect, and/or vocabulary is at a significant distance from that previously employed, its effect can best be described as being "totally fucking weird"
This is also known as being "sophisticated as hell"; however, linguistics prefer to call it "linguistic dissonance".
