shaddap you face

(v.) To make quiet, phrase used by Italians, and made popular by a 1983 song by Joe Dolce, who had a very bad Italian accent.

"What you say to me? SHADDAP YOU FACE!" *slap*


What's-a matter you, hey, gotta no respect
What-a you t'ink you do, why you look-a so sad
It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place
Ah, shaddap you face*



*candidate for worst song ever.

Constitution

One's diet, and inner workings.

What something is made of.

The constitution of the elderly contains many figs and prunes.

The definition of God or any religious, politcal or auto-related word on this site is a constitution of bullshit and misinterpreted assfacts

Hoffa

Jimmy Hoffa, notoriusly corrupt, and qouted as saying "I don't need bodygaurds". He took a walk one night and never returned. His body is still undiscovered. When you find a place that looks like it hasn't been looked in for a while, you can intelligently claim to have found Jimmy Hoffa's body.

I found Jimmy Hoffa!

fixed permanent interest

A high amount of interest expected on monies owed that does not decrease until ALL of the money is paid.

Germany continued to pay Britain its' fixed permanent interest loan until well into world war two.

middle class

Financially the largest class. All the main money makers. At the bottom are those in well paid jobs, at the top are multi-millionaires working huge amounts who will become new money

Middle classes in western nations have more money than the upper classes when combined, and more than the lower classes.
