synthetic bells

The sound of bells being rung, only this time done completely by synthesis -- be it computer hardware or software synthesis. No actual bells are being harmed.

The demo called, äMPäri3" by the Commodore Amiga computer demo group Dekadence has synthetic bells in its zax -- how kewl!!!

Pecker Rooter

This is a variation of the short song, "Peter Rooter" that appeared on the Cheech & Chong audio-only album, "Los Cochinos" from 1973.

Hey there swingin' bachelors
Tired of that steady drip
Drip, drip of gonorrhea?
Then Pecker Rooter might be just what you've been waiting for

♪Pecker Rooter, that's the name♪
♪You just flush your troubles♪
♪Down the drain♪
♪Rotten pecker, rotten pecker, rotten pecker♪

Hoo Phlung Pu

Used as a descriptor for a very inexpensive and shoddily-made product of non-US origin, such as products manufactured in China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong

From a product reviews website:

"Eight of the twelve units purchased were nonoperational; but this was somewhat expected of a very inexpensive product of non-US origin - sometimes known as the "Hoo Phlung Pu" brand."

Twenty Stick-Bent-Stick

The year 2015 (written or typed) as seen from above looks like bent sticks.

{As a daily check-in on a BBS about wheelchairs might look)}:

01-02-15 {or "2015 02 Jan.", or even "January 02, Twenty Stick-Bent-Stick" if you prefer}
Just making my daily check-in from Juneau AK. USA...my people (who live in Nicaragua) we have but two bungholes...er...uh...I mean I only have a sodding pair of updates for my website today"...the first concerns my having added a flight video of my Syma Armor F1 Single-Rotor R/C Helicopter (with Li:Poly battery) to a web page made for just that purpose, and the second is...well, what else could it be? An adulterated bag of dry cat food? YAAAAYYY YOU GOT ONE CORRECT!!!

I don't give a dirty handkerchief

Means the same as, "I don't give a flying fuck", "I don't give a Funyun", "I don't give a rat's patootie", etc.
This is a clean way of saying it -- though that hankie really needs to go in the wash. :-)

WarGrowlmon: What? Beelzemon?

Taomon: What are you doing here?

Rapidmon: Looking to hit us while we’re down, huh? That’s your style right?

Beelzemon: Hey, trash me if you want but I swear I’m here to help.

Rapidmon: Do you even know the meaning of the word?

Beelzemon: I’m on the level fellas, really.

WarGrowlmon growls at him.

Beelzemon: But I don't give a dirty handkerchief if you believe me or not, cause my partners believe in me.

Flashback to Mako giving Impmon his gun.

Mako: You can blast all the bad guys with it.
