Well there you go. I’m Canadian and hang around with astronomy buffs, so that’s where I’ve heard it. And then there’s my friend Pellonpaa, a devoted fan of Westerns, who uses the word all the time.

Lots of people say oater.

Queen Latifah in the Edward Woodward role? I like it!

If Peter Riegert battled Paul Reiser who would win.

Never heard of any of those except The Equalizer, and that was an 80s show.

I promise I’m not trying to be edgy and hipper-than-thou, but I’ve never heard of NCIS, or Bull, or this actor. I’m not the most attuned to current culture, especially TV, but I read this website regularly and have for years, and you’d think these names, especially the name of the #1 scripted drama of all time, would…

Too fat to fit in their K cars!

So Susan Orlean from Adaptation has become President? Well I’ve certainly seen worse.

“Barenaked Lardies” is available.

Even the dog talks in that crazy movie.

They barely even use that song in the movie it’s from, Live A Little, Love A Little. (An insane movie, by the way.)

Clancy! Use the remote!

She WAS wearing thighs! I remember them well.

In some jurisdictions perhaps.

What does it mean? I think of them as movies about people who wear tights, have special abilities, and fight crime.
