I googled all over ebay but I couldn't find a single picture of that Levi's Three-Legged Jeans commercial from SNL. I thought that would be a valuable addition to the current discussion.

When we were feeling rebellious we wore the animal skins fur side IN.  Little did we know that our youthful exuberance would lead to a remarkable discovery re: radiant heat retention!

No dude, that's what WE did. You guys before us actually just backcombed your body hair when you wanted to act out.

Man, that shit was stupid and annoying in the 80's.  You're telling me that assholes are still doing it?   Man.

Word.

You guys look just like rich dicks from my High School! Right on!

What's next, you get all original and start wearing unstructured poplin jackets over pastel t-shirts and no socks?

In the parlance of our times, "G" has become synonymous with "gangster," in the urban sense.  Additionally, "O.G." means "original gangster," used to reference a person who has been a G since small times.

Among youths in Britain the shorterning of a word to 'G' is more synonymous with the term 'gay', causing great hilarity among said youths when urban acts such as 'G Unit' (Gay Unit) are referred to. Indeed, in modern Britain it is best to keep up on the slang; many an American tourist has fallen victim to a gang of young adults, innocently asking if they were a bunch of 'Gs'.

And then those same tourists got all twitchy when the BritTeens started talking about "craving a fag" like it was no big deal.

I'm so late on this thread I'd be embarassed if I had that capacity.

But I just wanted to point out that 'stad isn't the first man in science to create Airwolf humor in vitro:

Damn...I looked at that for so long and it never hit me. I don't understand or even slightly get it. It went SO far over my helmet.

Did you listen to the "Airwolf" track?  It is pretty funny.

You see, this does nothing to dissuade me of my "British Slang Is Pretend" theory.

It does not dissuade at all.

well i gotta tell you i had to think a moment when the nice "bloke" in the pub asked me if i had a fag.

it all worked out ok when i left with his girl and we made out on the nottingham city hall steps until dark and then wandered around the city all night while she told me about how old she was and how long she'd been addicted to acid and how her dead grandma's blanket protected her at night while she slept until i convinced the doorman at the Y to let me bring her in so she could sleep and then i walked her to the bus terminal at dawn and gave her my favorite shirt.

so, what i'm saying is, brits got fucked up kids, yo.

Sorry, old man, we just don't understand your banter.

It's like that old cartoon where the dead hipster is telling his life story to Peter. Only Peter imagines all of the slang literally because he doesn't understand it.

In fact he isn't even the first webcartoonist to do the bit about bidding for Airwolf:
