flcl

abbreviation for wordfooly cooly which is an Americanized translation of wordfuri kuri. Title of an anime mini-series of six half-hour episodes about a boy hitting puberty only to find puberty hitting back...either with a Vespa scooter or a chainsaw-powered guitar. The boy Naota has to deal with an absentee older brother (baseball player in the US) whom he worships, a dad obsessed with manga/anime whom he despises, the 17-yr-old ex-girlfriend of his brother's that flirts with him a little tooooo eagerly, and a possible alien female who moves in as a housemaid but really works constantly to knock battle robots out of Naota's head. Add a robot called Canti that has to eat Naota in order to gain superpowers to battle evil robots, a factory without workers overshadowing the town that's shaped like a steam iron, a secret government force led by a man with the worst fake eyebrows in the history of animation, and a kick-ass pop-rock song "Ride On Shooting Star" by the Pillows and you've got a ready-made cult classic.

flcl? What the f-ck? I've watched it twice and I just barely understand the theological implications of Canti being a angelic Christ figure, but still...what's with the spicy curry?

I don't want to ruin our friendship

Phrase used in polite company. Literal translation is "There's no fricking way I am going to have sex with your fat ugly ass." Used in conjunction with the horrendous phrases "You're a nice guy but..." and "It's not you, it's me."

While I appreciate that you've actually taken a bath for the first time since 1983, I just...don't want to ruin our friendship...

pervy hobbit fancier

From the Very Secret Diaries spoof of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy (Google it). Used whenever any of the characters start taking an unusual interest in Frodo/Merry/Pippin (but not Sam for some reason).
In the Real World, applies to anyone who thinks there's something going on between the onscreen characters.
Is meant to be used humorously.
SEE ALSO Shieldmadiens Gone Wild

Don't stare at Frodo too long. Sam will kill you if you try anything.

California

One of 50 member states of the USA; Largest state in terms of population; home of American film industry; currently topping Florida, New York and Texas as The Most Embarassing State To Live In due to a massively hideous recall effort to install an Austrian actor as governor, at a time of a major budget crisis that will most certainly get worse before the next recall move that will take place the following year.
Also, a state within a day's driving distance to Las Vegas.

I'm voting back in Cali, in Cali, in Cali, I'm voting back in Cali (nah, I don't think so).
