I recently posted about the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by J.R. Ward. I mentioned the gangsta language they use. One of the reasons this bugs me is because sometimes I have no clue what they are saying. There’s a phrase in the book I’m listening to that’s been bugging me for days. I’ve tried and tried to figure out what it means. I don’t know if I’m just dense or if no one knows what it means. Anyway, here’s the phrase, and if ANYONE knows what this means, please tell me. It’s driving me CRAZY.
“It looked like he was going to pull a meaning of life and thin mint it all over the place.”
I have no clue what it means, but I like it. I’m gonna make sure to work this into a conversation somehow. Heh, thin mint.
It would definitely leave people wondering, wouldn’t it?
It is from Monty Python. Their film meaning of life had a scene with Mr Creosote where he eats a wafer thin mint at the end of it and blows up. Hiloarious stuff.
You can find it on youtube (Mr Creosote Monty Python)
Alex! Thank you! That’s been bugging me for so long. I had no idea it was a reference to a line in a movie. I’ll have to check that out.
glad I could help. It is a pretty disgusting clip, but I love python! π
the ‘meaning of life’ should really be capitalized as it was the movie name, but that is just nitpicking π
Well, see, I don’t know if it was capitalized or not since I was listening to an audio book instead of reading. LOL
I have no desire to try to get the meaning out of that statement. LOL All I got out of it was the desire to eat a thin mint. π Fortunately, I don’t have any chocolate mints in the house or I’d be in trouble.
I hate it when I don’t understand something in a book. I’m glad Alex cleared that up for me.
We always find excuses to eat chocolate. Lol
