Like a figure of speech but used improperly or just wrong. Based on "Saved by the Bell" character, Samuel 'Screech' Powers, portrayed by actor Dustin Diamond. Sayings created by the spaz of the group that are so bad they are memorable and become common phrases.

figure of Screech: Jessie: How can we without hurting his feelings?

Screech: Why don't we just wave a skunk in front of him?

Screech: You know, Screech, for once you have a good idea?

and
Screech: Oh, a bully dumped me down the garbage chute. Someday I'm gonna get even with that girl.

and
Screech: If you want beautiful scenery, baby, wait 'til you see me in a wet T-shirt.

and
Screech: Who're you calling a cantaloupe, you melon head?
