Shifuck

The not so ingenious way of saying Shit and Fuck together. However, it is not considered a swear , so it is OK in public, if you put more emphasis on SHI than FUCK! It can be a Safe For Work shitplitive.

Shifuck that hurt!

Blood Money

The second half of Tom Waits' 2002 simultaneous release with Alice, his fifteenth album, and it's even got magical abilities. Kind of. This album is a studio version of music from Waits' version of the play Woyzcec. It is a chilling set of songs, but it is an amazing peek into Waits' mind. Track five, God's Away On Business, is a happy seeming tune, disguising a horrific tale of the sinking ship we are all on.

An excerpt from Blood Money's-
Misery Is the River of the World

God builds a church
The devil builds a chapel
Like the thistles that are growing
'Round the trunk of a tree
All the good in the world
You can put inside a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you can say about Mankind
There's nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork
But it always comes roaring back again

Jaheseus

An odd way of saying Jesus, used by Tom Waits in the song Filipino Box Spring Hog. It has few practical conversational uses, but it is an interesting word.

An excerpt from Filipino Box Spring Hog-
From the album Mule Variations-
Tom Waits-

"Jaheseus Christ I can always
Make room, when they're
Cookin' up a filipino box spring hog"

The Heart of Saturday Night

Tom Waits released his second album just a year after his first. Much had evolved from then, though much was the same. Waits' newer music had a more jazzy feel, rather than the country twang of his debut. The piano is often drowned out by other instruments, but it does come pounding back out. The title track, The Heart Of Saturday Night, and it's conclusion The Ghosts Of Saturday Night, are settled, but very bouncy tunes.

An excerpt from The Heart of Saturday Night's first track-
New Coat Of Paint

Let's put a new coat of paint, on this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' em down.
You wear a dress, baby, and I'll wear a tie.
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon, in that burgundy sky

Basty Craftard

A clever reforming of the words crafty bastard. Brian Brushwood, host of Revision3's internet show - Scam School, commonly uses the phrase. He could have been the creator, or one of the people to make it mainstream.

"Today's show is brought to you by the basty craftards at...

Strange Weather

1. The Ninth song on Tom Waits' 1988 live album, Big Time.

2. A phenomenon that occurs as a cliche everywhere in real life, as well as Hollywood and books. Strangers only talk about the weather, for the most part, no matter what the situation is.

Excerpt from Strange Weather-

The world is getting flatter,
The sky is falling all around
Oh, and nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town
And a love like ours, my dear,
Is best measured when it's down
And I never buy umbrellas,
'Cause there's always one around.
And all over the world Strangers
Talk only 'bout the weather
