what a prick 


A phrase made popular by 1999 UK T.V Channel 4 series, Spaced.
It occurs in a scene where a young boy asks Tim Bisley (Simon Pegg) for a Star Wars Jar Jar Binks doll, and he is met with a rather blunt, short description of just exactly how Jar Jar Binks is wrong and why, finishing with the classic line 'what a prick'.
See YouTube for full reference.
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace fan: "Excuse me sir, I'd like to buy a Jar-Jar-Binks Doll"

Tim Bisley: "You are so blind! You so do not understand! You weren't there at the beginning. You don't know how good it was! How important! This is it for you! This jumped-up firework display of a toy advert! People like you make me sick! What's wrong with you? Now, I don't care if you've saved up all your fifty 'p's, take your pocket money and get out!

What a prick."

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
