Nertz!

You know, I actually have an old slang dictionary from the early
seventies with "nertz" in it, (Homer's exclamation from act one of "The
Day the Violence Died") defined as an alternative to "nuts" as in "Nuts
to that." But I've only ever heard it on the Simpsons. Does anyone have
more Nertz sightings to report?

Also, for what it's worth, some of my friends and I have combined the
misprinted "Smarch" with "nertz" to get the formidable "Snertz," used as
in "Snertz to that, boyo!" to say "Screw that!"

In some episode of "I Love Lucy" I remember they were fighting and at
one point Lucy had a sign that said "Nertz to Mertz".

Frank Burns (M*A*S*H) said "Nertz!" from time to time.

How about taking it one step further and adding Snuh?

Snertzuh.

Nah, I actually wondered about Nertz. Starting a huge thread was
secondary.

Unless, of course, you're *not* talking about the thread . . .

It wasn't my fault, it was the Percodan. If you ask me, that stuff rots
