Terms · 2 July 2001
Everyone has, it may be said, a preferred phrase indicating that which is the shit, the dog’s testicle, the bidniz: the top-shelf item. When describing something I think of as worthy of the very highest regard, I tend to use the term “creamy”: as in, “there’s a certain broad-side-of-the-barn quality to Elmer Gantry, but dude, Babbitt has creaminess.”
My friend Woody has a far superior term, however. When he really likes something, it is purely Tayback.
