Jacks

1) Irish slang for toilet. Derived from Union Jack, the British flag.

2) Term referring to Dubliners, since they uphold British traditions more than any others in Ireland. The name comes from when they waved Union Jack flags during a visit from the Queen.

1) Lads, I'm bursting for the jacks.

2) Ah, fuck. A bunch of jacks.

Magnum

An incredibly powerful handgun

Ah ah! I know what you're thinking punk. You're thinking 'did he fire six shots or only five?'. Well, to tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and can blow your head clean off, you'd better ask yourself a question. Do I feel lucky? Well? Do ya? Punk!

Strontium Dog

One of the greatest comic strips ever to appear in 2000AD. The death of the main character in the end, Johnny Alpha, was so prolific, it was mentioned in an episode of Spaced.

"Just don't forget whose shoulder you cried on when the last one dumped you."
"I won't."
"Or when Johnny Alpha got killed by that big flying monster in 2000AD"
