Adjective- To be like a frood (to be really amazingly together). Commonly used in Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy of five books.
"Listen Ford," said Zaphod, "everything's cool and froody."
"You mean everything's under control."
"No," said Zaphod, "I do not mean everything's under control.
That would not be cool and froody. If you want to know what
happened let's just say I had the whole situation in my pocket. OK?"
-The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

An infinitely large and infinitely improbable amount of space which, when looked at from a mathematical standpoint, can be said to have no life, civilization, language, art, or anything at all in it. The answer to the whole mess of it all has been calculated to be forty-two, but every attempt to find the actual question has failed miserably, the most noteworthy of which has been the planet Earth. Thoughts on this matter-
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another which states that this has already happened."
-Douglas Adams.

The universe is, in general, an incredibly expensive, paradoxial, crowded, lonely, and ridiculously entertaining place in which to be located.

A phrase coined by the British comedy troupe Monty Python. It is used to signify the arrival of something that is, indeed, completely different from whatever had been going on previously.

The llama is a quadruped which lives in the big rivers like the Amazon. It has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey. But it is provided with fins for swimming.
Llamas are larger than frogs.
Llamas are dangerous, so if you see one where people are swimming, you shout...
Look out, there are llamas!
And now for something completely different - a man with a tape recorder up his nose.

Phrase used to impart a feeling of ease onto a hectic situation. (When used in a truly hectic situation, it can often be assumed that nothing is under control at all.)

Nelvana's terrible mutilation of the Japanese anime Cardcaptor Sakura, which provided audiences in America with a plot that was completely screwed around with, select episodes that were completely cut out, and a terrible, terrible English dub. The author is a fan of the original Japanese anime as well as the manga, produced in the states by the Tokyopop company, whom she feels did a good job with it- unfortunately, the anime was not such a good move at all. Were it in more capable hands, it may have fared better.

An insult, roughly equivalent to get lost or in some cases go fuck yourself. As far as I can tell, it is mainly used in Britain.
variation exists: Awa' an' bile yer heid! (Scottish)
The origins of this phrase are as follows, from http://www.phrases.org.uk:
"This relates to the fact that in South Pacific societies cooked food was 'noa' or the opposite of tapu (tapu is loosely translated as sacred though it has a deeper meaning than that). The head was considered the most sacred part of the body and one doesn't usually pat children on the head, or stroke a person's hair. An exhortation to turn your head into cooked food was regarded as the greatest possible insult."
Weird stuff.
