A movie (actually titled "Dead Ringers") directed by David Cronenberg telling the story of identical twin gynecologists - Elliot and Beverly, played by the ever boring Jeremy Irons - One is shy and normal per se, the other, a total whack job. They share the same practice, the same apartment, the same women. When a new patient, glamorous actress Claire Niveau - played by the almost do-able Genevieve Bujold - challenges their eerie bond, they descend into a whirlpool of sexual confusion, drugs, and madness including the creation of "Alien-like" gynecological tools.
"I watched "Dead Ringers" and left the theatre feeling like a psychopath for having not left earlier."

Get the dead ringer mug.Beautiful cottage country in south-central Ontario, Canada. Made 'famous' by such Hollywood stars as Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn and Tom Hanks and others.
Once a place of peace and quiet, respectfully tainted with the noise of summer-fun including boating, water skiing, tubing, and just about any other outdoor activity - other than HUNTING!
The original cottages were a place to escape to from the rat-race of the stinky city - mainly the city of Toronto.
Once this land was 'discovered' by certain high-profile people, rich pricks decided it was 'trendy' and 'necessary' to purchase land or a cottage there so as to look upwardly-mobile. This has degraded Muskoka by making it unrealistically expensive for the average layman to purchase; and unmanagable for those who first set their cottage roots there, due to higher taxes and anal newcomers.
Like the white-man raped the Native Americans' lands, so has the yuppie/rich prick raped Muskoka.

New Muskokan cottager:
Franchini: "Are we taking the Bentley and the Bichon to Muskoka this weekend Elsha?"
Elsha: "Well we may need the Bentley because Arthur is flying in from Eton. I think we should have Ramon watch the Bichon as you know Arthur just won't have anything to do with her shedding!"
Franchini: "Fine..fine..fine..Let Ramon watch the bitch and we shall enjoy Cognac with Arthur in Muskoka...I do hope the central air is on when we arrive and that the plumbers have installed the three 'bidets' in the main washrooms."
TRUE Muskokan cottager in the 70s:
Merv: "Did we get the coolers and sleeping bags all packed kids?"
Kids: "Yes daddy, and mommy made us some lunches 'cause we're hungry now and can't wait till we stop for our mid-trip snack. I hope the bunny's are there at the stop. Can we get our allowance now so we can buy some blackballs and bottlecaps daddy?"
Merv: "If you are good. Remember, its a long drive but at least we have this wagon now. Too bad we can't afford a plane to fly up and avoid the traffic." - laughing
Kids: "Yea, but at least we have a boat so we can ski and fish and stuff."
Merv: "That's true kids, good attitude."

Get the Muskoka mug.I am surprised that this word is not here yet....now it is.
Etymology is the study of the origins of words. Some words have been derived from other languages, possibly in a changed form (the source words are called etymons). Through old texts and comparisons with other languages, etymologists try to reconstruct the history of words — when they entered a language, from what source, and how their form and meaning changed.
A word often misused and mispronounced 'entymology' which is the study of insects!

Etymology in action:
"The etymologist spent hours describing the origin of the word "nice" to the students. Unfortunately no one understood what he was talking about and were all in a deep slumber after 10 minutes."
"The dean spent weeks trying to track down the entymologist to give a lecture on the derivation of the word 'aunt.' When the entymologist finally arrived discussing the workings of one of the most interesting insects on Earth, the dean was promptly fired for being a fraud."

Get the etymology mug.NOT so excellent when said sarcastically. Used in a derogatory manner to mean exactly the opposite of its true meaning. Said when a complete SNAFU occurs and usually inflected upwards at the end so that instead of saying the "EX" with more force, you gradually increase the pitch and distress in your voice as you follow through the word. Delivery of "excellent" is an art form mastered by the most sarcastic individuals who have experienced far too many fuck-ups. A cluster fuck expression.
Max: "Remember I told you we won the lottery, well, I took the ticket in and found out that I had a ticket from LAST MONTH'S draw, I felt like a total stooge. Sorry dude, we actually didn't win that $6 MILLION."
Scott: "Excellent!"
Scott: "Excellent!"

Scott: "Of course dude, there is a serious amount of cashish to be made with overtime!!"
2) Max: "I need some cashish to buy the wife her new boob job."

Get the cashish mug.Smoking crack. This drug is so potentially addictive that the pleasure you feel after a blast is so amazing that it is like a gift from heaven. This is quickly exchanged with a coming down which makes the user want that feeling back. He/She does whatever to get more and keeps sucking on the pipe, pop can or whatever else he/she can use to get the crack gas into their lungs/bloodstream again. Once no more crack can be found, the user goes into a deep state of depression and need which is like a trade off with the Devil. Great sensation given - temporarily - Terrible over-all feeling afterwards.
Candice: "I need to get more rock I think my boy will take this Dollarama vase for a twenty piece!
Dude: "Don't count on it girl, why don't you just stop sucking on the devil's dick, its killing you!"

Get the sucking on the Devil's dick mug.A word often effiminitely mispronounced by elitists or pseudo-elitists, often faking, or using a real, British accent. The pronunciation of this word is: 'sKedyool' as opposed to the artsy and stupid: 'sHedyool.'
Proof of this finding is two fold. Firstly there is NO other commonly used, non-generic, English word which starts with 'sch' pronounced with the 'sh' sound. Secondly, any 'sh' word in the English language starts with those same two letters: 'sh' - for those reading this who pronounce 'schedule' 'sKedyool' I had to repeat the obvious!

Secondly, any 'sh' word in the English language starts with those same two letters: 'sh' - for those reading this who pronounce 'schedule' 'sKedyool' I had to repeat the obvious!
'sh' words pronounced with the 'sh' sound:
shoe, shot, shit, should, sheik, shook, shoot, shew, shrew, shrewed, shell, she, shore, shone, shop, shall, sheep, sheen +++
Examples of 'sch' words pronounced with the 'sh' sound: ?
Examples of 'sch' words pronounced with the 'sk' sound:
school, schizophrenic, scheme, schematic, scholar, scholastic, schedule +++
Indeed there are words with the 'sh' sound which start with 'sch' but are derivitives or generic words from another language. Examples are: schnapps (Dutch), Schneider (German name), schnitzel (European cut of meat.)
In closing - to best exemplify this - try using the word 'schizophrenic' in a sentence using the 'sh' sound.
Max: *with a thick English accent* "I heard that Arthur's son does not attend Eton because he is a 'shitsophrenic.'
Scott: "Indeed he does not attend Eton; but not because he is a 'skitsophrenic' but because he doesn't want to be around assholes like you who pronounce 'skedyool' 'shedyool!"
