Fuck the napkin

Despite the the very specific directions you have been given, and despite the fact that the very extensive project is nearly completed, the client decides that it is flawed irreparably and you must pretty much start over. Oh, and it's not their fault that they gave you improper guidance from the get-go. You obviously are an untalented hack and incapable of reading minds. What kind of "creative" person can't read minds? Hack ...

The term comes from the "This is Spinal Tap" scene in which Angelica Huston presents an 18" Stonehenge monument to Ian because he wrote the directions on a cocktail napkin and wrote " for "inches" instead of ' for "feet".

Agency CD:

"Why did you make that tag verbal and not sung?"

Composer:

"You told us to do that in our meeting and you wrote it on this napkin that I'm holding right here. This one in my hand, the one that has your handwriting on it that says "make the tag verbal"

Arm Napkin

Using a shirt sleeve, like a napkin, to wipe up a mess of any variety.

Stan's secretary blew him under the desk and he shot a hot sticky nut on her face. Realizing she had no tissue to wipe off her chin, she used his Arm Napkin to clean up leaving it crusty and stained for his upcoming 3 p.m. meeting.
