DCI Gene Hunt is a fictional character in BBC One's science fiction/police procedural drama, Life on Mars and its spin-off, Ashes to Ashes. The character is portrayed by Philip Glenister in both Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes, whereas in the American version he is portrayed by Harvey Keitel. Bantam Press have published two books written from the in-character first person perspective of Hunt; The Rules of Modern Policing (1973) in 2007, and The Future of Modern Policing (1981) in 2008.
The character of Gene Hunt is portrayed as a "politically incorrect chauvinist" who has no qualm with using violent tactics in order to get a result. He has a love/hate relationship with Sam Tyler and Alex Drake, the leading protagonists of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes respectively, whilst commanding fierce loyalty from DS Ray Carling and DC Chris Skelton.
The character received much critical and public acclaim for his role in Life on Mars, being dubbed both a "national hero" and an unlikely sex symbol, as well as being voted Britain's favourite TV hero. Ashes to Ashes provoked some negative reviews, with accusations of repetition of material. As portrayed many times in the Life on Mars series, Hunt is a passionate supporter of Manchester City.

“I think she’s as fake as a tranny’s fanny.”
“Drugs, eh? What’s the point. They make you forget, make you talk funny, make you see things that aren’t there. My old grandma got all of that for free when she had a stroke.”

The gene responsible for preventing breast development in women when they go through puberty. Women with this gene do not even need a training bra since their breasts are very tiny and almost non-existent. Very hard to distinguish their chest with that of a thin man's chest.
That poor Mecham girl over there never developed any breasts; it's that damned Andree's gene that got passed down to her. Maybe she should consider
getting implants.
getting implants.

An expression to describe an athlete's ability to perform well at the end of the game when there is a lot of pressure. In basketball it can mean hitting the game winning shot as the time expires. In football it can mean a QB leading his team on a game winning drive in the fourth quarter. In baseball it can mean hitting a walk-off home run. In Hockey...well only Canadians care about hockey.

The process of being able to transplant genes with new genes that are supposed to improve physical capability.
With the completion of the Human Genome Project, we can now detect genes that cause certain things. If we find a gene that causes illness or cancer, we can remove that and replace it with something better! That's just one of many examples of what gene therapy will do for us! ^.^

An as of yet unidentified gene that turns the belly yellow when country calls. It is possessed by people who when called to serve say, "Hell no, I won't go". All people with this gene have an aggressive demeanor until faced with the threat of bodily harm.
The term "Cheney Gene" comes from the fact that Dick Cheney was a strong supporter of the Vietnam war, but did everything in his power to avoid the draft.
The Cheney Gene is not exclusive to the neoconservative movement. Chickenhawks come in all shapes and sizes, colors and creeds.

All of the neoconservative chickenhawks have one thing in common; the Cheney Gene.
