Now that the school season is upon us, TCM would like to help in the education process. This post broadens horizons and builds the vocabulary. We realize most of you don’t have access to a time machine (or the very least a flux capacitor) so here is a list of terms to assist all you current hipsters, looking for a touch of the past.
1. “Pull into the curb daddy-o before your dreamboat becomes a battleship”
Translation: This relationship is doing you no good, give it up
2. “Fresh fish special”
Translation: Bad prison haircut given to recent arrivals
3. “Tijuana Bible”
Translation: Pornographic magazine
4. “My solid pigeon, that drape is killer diller, an e-flat dillinger, a bit of a fly thing on one page”
Translation: How to compliment a young lady on her new and pretty dress
5. “Tonsil Paint”
Translation: Alcohol
