You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yesterday, and after he joined the ALP.

Okay, Gus, you need to stop watching the German dubs or you'll have no brain left.

No, the Australian Labor Party. The Liberals are the conservative party here.

That amuses me Gus...Ok, what's the German for "punk-ass bitch..." (Hey maybe that's the translation of my family name or something...maybe I don't want to know.)

"Weibchen des Punk-Esels", I think.
That is the point, about The Wire. The translation of the slang is just off by a concept or two. It hits you later, like "Oh! He didn't mean 'furnace', he meant 'burner'!"
eta: A burner is a cell phone that is sold with a certain number of minutes enabled. When the minutes are gone, you chuck it out. It can also be a stolen cell phone, one that will work until the owner cancels the account, at which point you chuck it out.

wrod...descended from "burn-bag" which looks like drugs, but is really baking soda.They are hazardous to a bunky's health...the bags not the phones, which are the finest in yo-tech.)
