Now Number 5

Possibly one of the greatest lines ever said. Yup. That's the one. This phrase killed my brother.

"Now number 5."
"I NEVER WANNA HEAR YOU SAAAAAAAY." *deep inhale* "I WANT IT THAAAAAAAT WAY."

We're Number One!

The proud motto of a superior nation; the rallying decry of a country renowned for the industrial revolution, pioneers of massive advancement in medicine and developement of technological resources beyond imagination.

Well, let's see; wonder why the US has the fastest per capita COVID-19 case and death rate in the civilized world? How about failure to respond to the warnings of other countries, failure to close borders in a timely fashion in order to minimize asymptomatic spread, failure to adequately risk-assess inbound travelers, failure to have appropriate testing to trace and track infected individuals, failure to enforce national stay-at-home CDC recommendations, failure to anticipate and provide appropriate personal protective equipment...and most of all FAILURE TO TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY. Yeah, We're Number One! For all the wrong reasons...

number 1 cut

About the shortest possible haircut, where the guard is on the No. 1 setting of 3mm. A shorter version of a crew cut or buzz cut.

Prat 1: Hey man, you been on chemo? I didn't know.
Prat 2: You shut the fuck up, this number 1 cut cost a fortune

Numbers On a Screen

What money is. Also, what you say to rationalize blowing all your money on booze/women/toys/coke. Replaces "little pieces of paper," which is deprecated.

Guy 1: Shit, $100 for four shots of Patron?!
Guy 2: Man who gives a fuck, money is just Numbers On a Screen!
Guy 1: You right.

The Number 11

A hairstyle more commonly known as "The Bowl Cut" or "Mushroom Cut". It is a cheap haircut given mostly to little kids or fashion oblivious adults. The origin for this word comes from the streets of San Francisco, where outside small asian barber shops, a sign showing various haircuts available corresponds to a number chart. The #11 being the bowl cut. This hair/number terminology is Universal in the streets of San Francisco and hair stylists alike.

"Oh my God, did you see that guy?! He totally had The Number 11. What a weirdo!"

or

"Hi there, could I please get The Number 11? I wish for my hair to look very strange today. Thank you.
