Okay, what's "Oh Smeg" from? I don't know and it drives me mad

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's from Red Dwarf, a British scifi comedy from the late 80s-90s. It's their take on fake future swears.

I figured out what's missing. He needs a shiny H on his forehead.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

It's short for smegma, i.e. dick cheese.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

It's not, actually. Some people thought it was, but apparently the creators had never heard of smegma before and it was just an unfortunate coincidence.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The creators may claim as much, but...

Lexicographer Tony Thorne, in his 1990 Dictionary of Contemporary Slang (ISBN 0-7475-2856-X), reports instances of "smeg" (and derivatives) being used as a term of "mild contempt and even affection" among "schoolboys, students and punks" as early as the mid-1970s — a decade or so prior to the inception of the Red Dwarf phenomenon — and claims unequivocally that the etymology of the term traces back to "smegma".

Alright, alright, people coming out of the woodwork to tell me about smegma, Jesus. You win the dick cheese argument. 'Gratz.

This is the one where Smeagol steals the Ring of Fire from the Circus and kills his cousin Dobby by drowning him in the river Styx. Luckily Homer is there to write an Odyssey. Captain Kirk, ringleader of the Circus, fights it out with Finnegan to see who's the best, "'Ey, Jimmy Boy. Where's my Frosted Lucky Charms?" "OMG Spock, that rock monster looks like a pile of Chef-boy-ar-dee. Let's chow down on these spherules while I use my phaser to light this bong."

it was touch and go there for a minute but this here is a rock solid argument for copyright law.

Ohh, I thought that was Farscape!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

No one's ever heard of that.

A captains job was simple: Find a phone booth. Find a crew, find some spice, engage

Meh... Planet of the Alien was better.

Stick this up as a poster in a sci-fi convention and watch the ensuing brawl.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I see Stargate. I upvote.

Daniel Radcliffe should have been James McAvoy for the professor X crossover.
