Wasn't it "Gordon Gecko",(From the movie "Wallstreet") , who said.\n\n"Greed is good. Greed works." "Work the system; just don't get caught."\n\n\n\nThat is what many of our "business-men" and "politicians" were "raised" on; the "glory days" of Reagan ,"Gordon Gecko's" motto and "Trickle-Down Economics".This is the legacy we have made. How proud we should be! \n\n Morals are a joke. Morals are what you talk about at BBQ's & cocktail party's, while you secretly ,(or openly), steal money & office supplies from your company. \n\nHere is another good Example:Here is the name of a movie that came out last year:"Get Rich or Die Try'n" \n\nDoesn't this movie title "Sum Up" the attitude of American's today?!!?\n\nAnd for every "Ken Lay", there is 50 other people doing the same thing, and NEVER get caught.\n\nOops! It's time I slip off my "soap-box", I got a "tee-time" at 3:00 at the country club.............\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(see what I mean)\n\n\n\n\n\n(lol)

Jive turkey was a derogatory slang word in African American Vernacular English. It usually indicates someone who, despite his pretense, is a fool or, more often, a swindler.\n\nThe insult became widely known among white Americans in the 1970s, particularly via television comedies (e.g., The Jeffersons). The term has been used by later television characters (e.g., Homer Simpson) in order to demonstrate that they are out of touch with modern youth trends, culture, and language.\n\nJive turkey, however, was already falling into disuse when it was spoken by supposedly "hip" characters in the 1970s, such as George Jefferson. This misuse is generally attributed to the fact that the dialogue of so many black characters was written by whites.

Actually, the reference originally came from a song that was popular in 1956.  It was by the Jayhawks and called Stranded In The Jungle.  It managed to climb the Billboard charts to #18.\n\nThe story is about a guy who gets stranded in a jungle and all he wants to do is get back to his girl in the states.  He gets knocked out, wakes up in a big pot and smells something cooking then realizes he's about to be the main course for a tribe of cannibals.  The next line is "Great googly moogly let me out of here! " \n\nOf course the expression has been used in numerous other songs since but now you know the complete story goes back half a century.

It's been going on for years, back in the twenties and thirties, it was called corn or schmaltz, a Yiddish expression.\nI can't see it fading away anytime soon. It seems to be a good sell, for these shows.\nA bit like sex, which they say, sells.

no, no, no, no, no.....  actually (and forgive me for not knowing the specifics here) the term "square" was derived quite a while ago in the times of greasers and such...  back when kids would place the "square"ish box against their short sleeves and fold the sleeve up to hold them in place... it's been around for a long time and its not something that todays adolescents made up...  back when i was in high school (10 years ago) the word 'groovy' was in and obviously this was from the era of the hippies...  these days, nothing is original... hell, they're even revamping 80's cartoons to entertain todays youth... the lack of originality is disappointing... but alas, so is the lack of healthy lungs... bleh

It comes from I think the movie "American pie" if I remember correctly. 'Stiffler' uses it. It means Mother I'd like to f*ck.

I would find it highly likely that 1) it's a gimmicky phrase; or 2) it's an outright fake.\n\nDo a little reading on this guy,\n\nAnalysis of Kevin Trudeau's "Natural Cures" Infomercial (2004) by Stephen Barrett, M.D. \nhttp://www.infomercialwatch.org/tran/trudeau.shtml\n\nWikipedia entry\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Cures_%22They%22_Don't_Want_You_To_Know_About\n\nKevin Trudeau Banned from Infomercials\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/opa/2004/09/trudeaucoral.htm\n\n20/20 Report "King Con?

Sounds like it is from "War of the Worlds". Maybe the following:\n\n"Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us."

It's currently used synonymously with "the creeps", "the willies", "goose bumps."  i.e. "That ghost story gives me the heebie-jeebies!" \n\nIt's thought to have originally had anti-semitic meanings (which you might be meaning as the 'military definition', but according to what I found: \n\nThe phrase "heebie-jeebies" was invented by Billy De Beck, a famous American comic strip artist of the 1920's, in his popular "Barney Google" strip in 1923. De Beck, by the way, also invented "hotsy-totsy" (a term of approval) and the wonderful "horsefeathers" (meaning "utter nonsense") in his strip. "Heebie-jeebies" must have caught the popular imagination immediately, since the dance of that name appeared a scant three years later, in 1926.\n\nThe invention of "heebie-jeebies" by De Beck was, without doubt, innocent of any racial or ethnic animosity. The only possible anti-Semitic interpretation of "heebie-jeebies" comes from its unfortunate resemblance to the slang term "hebe" (a cropping of "Hebrew"), which is indeed an anti-Jewish epithet. Whether you want to risk possible misunderstandings when you use "heebie-jeebies" is up to you, of course, but the truth of its innocent origin is its best defense.
