"Away team, assemble in transporter bay 7...except the Wookie."

[misterNNL]

Wookie boogie is an odd dance accompanied by extremely off key growling sounds and a dance floor covered with copious piles of long and tangled masses of hair that clog the cleaning crews sweepers.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Sweepers are oft referred to by our English-speaking friends across the water as "hoovers".

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Goes with the territory" is a saying meaning "to be expected under the circumstances".

[misterNNL]

Circumstances associated with circumcision could be very unpleasant for an adult.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Adult" doesn't seem to conjure up ideas of rational thought and decorous conduct today as much as it used to.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Street beef" is what we called the dog meat a local restaurant had been suspected of serving (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away); "sewer chicken" was rat, "yard lamb" was cat.
