Assuming he's Greek, rather than a laugh, fair enough - although Guy Ritchie is of course the most famous mockney and therefore not Reliability Central on such matters! I checked on Urban Dictionary first and they only had the one I mentioned. |

His character name is 'Nick The Greek', he's only mentioned in passing as 'Nick The Bubble'. I will not disagree that Guy Ritchie is pathetic mockney one trick pony. Also, 'Are you 'avin' a bubble(laugh)?' is the phrase more commonly in usage round these parts.  |

The very near duplicate. Same joke, but like Mutha said, great minds... |

I couldn't see it by fishing through. If you isolate it, I'll vote for it. |

a 'bubble' is cockney slang for a Greek. Bubble & Squeek = Greek
I thought it was a laugh (bubble = bubble bath = bubble "baff" - or bubble "bahf", I suppose, in Cockneys' cases).
I've noticed young 'mockneys' using it this way but that's a 'Turkish' - Turkish bath (bahf) = laugh. 40 years ago we didn't have bubble baths, leastways not where I came from. A Greek's a Bubble.
As for Bubble & Squeak being Scottish. News to me. It's fried up leftovers, potato, greens (cabbage, sprouts) and whatever else is around. Boxing Day we still have cold cuts with Bubble (Roast potato, sprouts, swede, roast parsnips)

It's easy to sort by Reviewer Rank, the default. Sorry you couldn't find it. Thanks for helping Mr. Salopian, lemmy. |

yes, in fact, if "American Gangster" wasn't based on a true story, i'd say it was a ripoff of a bunch of drug and mafia movies. now that i think about it, a bunch of those films probably took some inspiration from Frank Lucas' story.
by the way, the acting in 'AG' is amazing from top to bottom: Washington, Crowe, Ejiofor, Dee, Assante, even Gooding. i wouldn't be surprised to see them win the SAG award for cast.
and btw, voted thru rabid kaz%k

Waiting for tomorrow.
(And a heartfelt thanks to those brave FWFRers who voted for my less than witty, albeit accurate Designing Woman review. Its a good film, by the way, if you haven't seen it. It was recently on TCM so keep an eye out.) |

Is sorting by reviewer rank really the default? I don't remember that, as it's so long since I set my own preferences - as I'm sure is the case for everyone else. Anyway, I didn't think of sorting that way (as it would never cross my mind to use that variable), and I wasn't so desperate to vote that I wanted to faff around. So thank you to lemmy, although it turns out that I had already voted for it. |
