Dastardly deeds comes to mind.

Yup! A dastardly deed does come to mind now that I have more knowledge of a zig-zig coucher.

I always liked the sound of the Dick Dastradly's dog laughing when he got foiled, again. A kinda heavy breath with an underlying wheeze. Was that Penelope Pitstop's arch enemy? Or am I mixing up 'toons?

Dear consuelo: I have seen some cases of hypospadias be shistling dickies. But musick would never approve of the pitch.
And chordee, when present, is not musical.

Come to think of it, wrong thread. This is an incomplete set.

My dic. says shist - see schist, and now I'm caught between a rock and a salesman. Ergo "pitch"?

rinky dink (i think these words are hopelessly co-dependent. hard to think of any thing rinky, except a dink.. not that i know what a dink is.. )

There is a short train (only 2 cars) that goes from the Princeton U campus to an AMTRAK station in the next town ( a 10-minute ride, I think) that has been lovingly named the "dinky" by the students there.

I clipped an article about it and I am sure there was an explanation for the word dinky in it but I am afraid it will take a month's spring cleaning for me to retrieve that article.
I hope some one comes up with something quicker than that.

Imagine something so cheap and pitiful that it was just "rinky" because the "dink" was broken.

Rinky-dink reminds me of a Black slang term for sexual perversity or promiscuousness: "freaky-deaky." As in, "She might go back to your apartment and get freaky with you, but she isn't freaky-deaky."

Natalie Attired, if you remember Bob and Ray.

*Remember them?* Oh, yes, yes. In fact they started in Massachusetts on WLLH radio! (As did Ed McMahon of "Heeeeere's Johnny" fame)
Hilarioso.
Went looking for a link to some of their old routines but no luck, just mentions in other links. Sigh.
Thanks for bringing back a great memory of happy times listening to them on radio and then watching on TV.

Re odd words : "plight thee my troth" ... How many making their marriage vows really know the meanings of plight and troth.
