Secret Agent Man's definitions

potzrebie

Mad magazine equivalent of the computer programmer's foo, that is, a word which can be used to stand in for any other (as in, for example, fictitious brand names, etc.)

The label said to induce vomiting, so I applied the Potzrebie maneuver.

I'm sorry, Ms. Jones, we're going to have to charge you $500 dollars for this repair... your, uh, Potzrebie device was broken. Yeah.

stoner

A consummate professional at the art of getting stoned. Generally still works a kiddie job like pizza delivery; may or may not still live with parents.

I saw this line of stoners outside the ticket office, and I was like, what?! Then I realized they were selling Phish tickets.

doom town

1. Minature city built by the makers of the atomic bomb to test the A-bombs effects on buildings;

2. Christian religious wacko comic about Sodom and Gommorrah, essentially giving license to the crazies for hate crimes against homosexuals;

3. Any city that looks like hell has broken loose and stopped to stay a while.

I was in Baltimore yesterday, and I got this feeling: doom town.

Cleveland used to be more a doom town, but the rock museum made it suck slightly less.

bitchnet

Hypothetical network all cruel, aggressive women are tapped into.

My boss was a pain in the ass, and then, she must have used bitchnet to tell my wife to give me hell also.

jaheeyazussah

Correct pronunciation of the five letter word 'JESUS' by southern baptist evangelists. Properly introduced below. The final syllable is strongly under accented, almost as if the mouth had dropped open blankly after the final 's' sound.

I say, you are going to HAY-el, if you don't bu-LEAVE in ja-HEEya-zus(sah).

self-shaft

In college, a difficult professor might shaft the class. By extension, 'self-shaft' means taking the same class independent study.

Calc 3? I'm taking that self-shaft next semester.

gong show

Based on the 70's amateur 'talent' show, the Gong Show. Applied to entertainment, it means cheesy and out of control, OR completely ruined through the good intentions of amateurs.

They had three bands scheduled, but the first one was the total gong show, so almost everyone left.

What the--? I thought this was supposed to be a presidential address, and I get the gong show?
