In the Onion book Our Dumb Century, there's a fake ad for some patent medicine that has a big list of all the old-time-y diseases and conditions that it cures - stuff like TB and consumption, and what-not. But my fave thing it cures is "the screaming shits."
Beverly:
I think I've had those.
I just came across this gem of Buffista parenting way back in Natter and had to COMM(A) it:
Gudanov: I found out my daughter's class is covering forces and gravity. I was trying to tell how gravity is really cool and is the warping of time and space. I also tried telling how time slows down for observers in higher gravity. She seemed really unimpressed by all this. I did tell her to stick with the class answer of 'force that attracts objects to each other' rather than 'warping of space-time' on any tests.

erikaj: But I'm part Irish-American with a tortured soul and a psycho family
Shir: Oh, I'm just Jewish. I guess that's pretty much wraps it up the same.

Overheard at work:
"Oh come on. It's pretty easy to tell if something is shit or coffee."
tommyrot
Um... are those metaphors? ... I mean, I hope the person is not talking about some new business that serves both coffee and hot shit in a cup....
Gudanov
A crappuccino.

I guess everything really does sound better in Italian.
in music...
megan walker - What mainstream term would one use to categorize Violent Femmes? Alternative Rock?
tommyrot - College Rock? Post-Punk?
I don't think the term "Alternative" was in use during their heyday....
I think I've heard them labeled as Folk-Punk back in the day.
DavidS - Close enough. You could also go for American Indie.
Trudy Booth - I think they prefer "Native Alternitan"
Thanks for catching that in full, Laga!

No context TomW:
Applesauce is pretty cool.
I mean, it's all fruity and mushy and tangy. Goes great with pork, or you can just stir it into yogurt for a quick and easy dessert.
That's what they should make a show about: applesauce. Fox, call me!
ita in Natter:
Though, honestly? Sometimes I feel what's been culturally appropriated from me most is my outrage.
Sad but true, in Heroes:
Juliebird: I am stoned on cold medicine.
victor infante: And yet, making as much sense as "Heroes" volumes two and three.
