the list is composed thus:
expression = the word(s) that we made up or adopted with new meaning.
> BLA = what it means.
example = example of use.
bla = where it came from.




arse attack
> A FIT OF MERRIMENT, EVERYTHING FROM SMALL GUSHES OF GIGGLES TO HYSTERICAL HOWLS, BROUGHT ON BY (MOST ALL) THINGS REMINDING US OF BOTTOM.
she offered me candy and when i looked in the bag it was polo's! i had a serious arse attack
for reference on the previous example watch bottom episode diggers. if you watch all of them diligently for a few weeks you'll catch on.

boooving!
> BORING
-hey guys! i just bought the new celine dion cd!
-boooving!!!
simply the good ole word "boring", rick the people's poet style. if you don't know who rick the peoples poet is consider yourself a moron.

do a schmeichel
> WHEN A GOALIE "GOES FOR A PICKNICK", DO SOMETHING RASH, FOUL UP.
i did a schmeichel on that exam yesterday.
can't precisely remember which year it was, but denmark goalie peter schmeichel went for a long picknick in an important game and cost his team the game. hence, a rash act or a foul up.

f.m.a.
> I SEE, NOW I UNDERSTAND, SO THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.
-i thought it was the other way around.
-no, i did this and he did that.
-f.m.a.
this literally means "flutningami�st�� austurlands" (eastern iceland transport service). which happened like this: an icelandic word for "i see" is "svolei�is". that changed to "sj�lei�is" which means "by sea". that, in turn, headed inevitably to "landlei�is", "by land", and the next logical step was f.m.a. since that's where we lived at the time.

lousy
> GOOD, GREAT.
i just came from the sick of it all concert. it was lousy!
needs correct emphasis and just a dash of sarcastic tone, slightly drawn out. otherwise it just means lousy. similarly most other words can be inverted in meaning by the right application of this tone. we have confused a lot of people with this. the inverted meaning can be distinguished from the normal one most of the times, for it is usually followed by the word "sko". which is impossible to translate.

monika
> IMAGINARY OR PLASTIC GIRLFRIEND, ANY TYPE OF GIRLFRIEND THAT'S "NOT REALLY THERE", SUCH AS AN INTERNET GIRLFRIEND OR A GIRLFRIEND THAT'S GOT AIR INSTEAD OF BRAINS.
his monika is coming for a visit tomorrow. they've never met before
from bottom live #1. richie had a "burd" named monika. and also, a friend of ours has an internet girlfriend named monika. you can imagine how much we laughed when we first found out.

an octopus arsehole moment
> A STRONG MENTAL PICTURE, USUALLY ABSURD, WHICH IS CAUSED BY A REMARK BY YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE.
"when he said that he had to go take a shower, an image of this big man trying to sqeeze himself into a tiny shower cubicle flashed through my mind and i couldn't help laughing out loud. it was an octopus arsehole moment."
in the billy connolly live at hammersmith odeon video ('94) he talks about a restaurant menu, which, apparently, has nothing on it. he complains that the items listed could be anything really. for example, octopus arsehole soup. having said it he bursts out laughing and says he's just had an image of a guy blowing into an octopus' arsehole flash through his head. hence, "an octopus arsehole moment".

totally possible
> AMAZING, GREAT, BRILLIANT.
i was just listening to deftones' adrenaline. it's totally possible!
this is to be spoken in a somewhat puzzled tone. as if you don't really grasp what's going on. just came out of language abuse. sounded kind of interesting so we kept it.
