[edit] a baby’s arm holding an apple

I believe this term was popularized (and may have originated) from a circa 1960 Lenny Bruce routine that ended up in his book How to Talk Dirty and Influence People (ISBN 0-67-175108-5) — Bruce attributes the term to one of his mother's neighbors, who could have been repeating something she had heard elsewhere. The Bruce text:

Filipinos come quick; colored men are build abnormally large ("Their wangs look like a baby's arm with an apple in its fist"); ladies with short hair are Lesbians; if you want to keep your man, rub alum on your pussy.

Such bits of erotic folklore were related daily to my mother by Mrs. Janesky ...

You can find this quote in the book's description (and the excerpt) at Amazon.

The earliest use I've seen of this exact wording Stuey uses was on The Tubes's song "What Do You Want From Life", from their eponymous 1975 album.

I would guess the joke (on Family Guy) is that the rhythm and syntax of that phrase sound plausibly British to american ears. That aside, I don't consider the slang use of this term especially British (supporting link given in prior version: [1]), but I wouldn't know first-hand. I certainly hear it used in american vernacular. – edgarde 19:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC) (updated 21:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Fancruft

Like many Family Guy articles, this contains much WP:TRIVIA that might be well-suited for the Family Guy wiki, but lacks sufficient real-world notability for Wikipedia.

Relevant essays:

• WP:EPISODE#Content
• Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)

Relevant guidelines:

• WP:Notability (fiction)
• WP:PLOT

Serious problems with most Family Guy articles:

• Re-telling every memorable joke. This almost never works and is unencyclopedic. See WP:EPISODE#Content.
• Spotting every time Peter Chris is drawn inconsistently. See WP:AVTRIVIA.

[edit] “Sie werden Deutschland nicht beleidigen!”

Why the hell does this have a "citation needed" tag, every native speaking German can tell you this is perfectly right. Removed.

Well, also those that have it as second language and have been practicing the language for so many years. TheBlazikenMaster 20:45, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

How about Family Guy Viewer Mail? TheBlazikenMaster 20:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

This episode has production code 3ACX13, while i believe Viewer Mail was 3ACX12. With the higher production code it just means they started on this one last. Grande13

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FGRoadToEurope.jpg

Image:FGRoadToEurope.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
