Animaniacs Temporary Tattoos #8
A double dose of Dot...one with a 'doo from another era. I think disco had been finished for at least a decade before these temporary tatoos were marketed.
Along with the two Dots: Skippy's review of "Cowboys & Aliens."
"Spew" suggests disgust to the point of wanting to barf.
It makes sense for a kid (like Skippy) to say it and like saying it. The word is just a tiny bit edgy, but crosses no lines. Kids like to see how far they can go with what they can say.
Also, considering that Slappy pushed the envelope a lot, Skippy had many opportunities to express his disgust by saying "Spew."
^^Did you not like the movie?

Why did Skippy say "Spew" anyway? Were you trying to start a new slang word?
ReplyDeletePrimary reason: It's a funny word...
