Power tie

The pizza-guy messed some Mr.G. Stephanopoulosthe's and girls' pizzas order. But Monica and Phoebe are seemed to be excited about the mistake. And asking the pizza-guy every detail about their neighbor. Monica:
-Was he wearing a stunning blue suit?
Phoebe:
-And a power tie?

So what is that "power tie"? Is it any different from a normal "tie" that men wear?

    Спасибо! Чендлер вообще самый чудесный там персонаж. Есть серия, где он отказывается от работы мол: "Хватит предлагать мне деньги! Перестаньте называть цифры, перестаньте! Увидимся в понедельник!" А его молчаливые сцены - просто мой личный праздник)))

    power tie - Traditionally the power tie is considered by general consensus to usually be of a solid colour, and traditionally worn with a business suit. usually red or blue or both

      Got it!

      To conclude: power tie is a status thing. The Greek guy wears such plus a suit, that is sure him, the object of obsession for Phoebe and Monica.

Joey: Holden McGroin

Who is Holden McGroin? Joey looks for a new stage name. Over the episode he tries many of them on. By the end he appears on a stage and introduces himself with a name that gets lots of laughter from the audience. Joey: Holden McGroin. Who is Holden McGroin? And why is Joey taking that name is funny? At first I thought Holden McGroin is some all America-famous guy. But I googled and googled and nothing. But than I realized Holden McGroin is a play of sounds. If you say really quickly 'Holden McGroin' native speaker would hear not a name but three words 'holding my growing'. It is your first step in understanding the joke. The next step is that you got to know that 'growing' in slang means 'testicles'. The rest is pretty about putting two parts together. A man holding on to one's testicles in public is considered weird and therefore funny. I love this joke, not just because most of the traffic to this blog comes through googling 'Holden McGroin

Chandler: You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance!

What does the phrase 'stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance' mean? Chandler needs new pants made and asks friends for a contact of a good tailor. Joey raises a hand - yep, he has a tailor. Chandler feels all set. But Joey starts to share way too much of boring detail. Joey : He did my first suit when I was 15... No, wait, 16... No, excuse me, 15... All right, when was 1990? Chandler :  You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance! What is Q-Tip? What is the whole "You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance" expression is referring to?  Apparently the joke was among few that Matthew Perry, the actor who played Chandler has improvised on the set. Also that is the joke some websites say that Matthew is the most proud of. So let's try and get it! Q-Tip is a cotton swabs brand name. You know the ones you use to clean your ears after a bath. Q here stands of "Quality". Americans say "Q-tip" but often mean not a particular

All you want is a dinkle

What is a dinkle? Joey plays Dr.Freud. Suddenly he rises and does a little dance and sing: Joey: All you want is a dinkle What you envy's a schwang A thing through which you can tinkle To play with or simply let hang Why is this dinkle-song funny?  Joey is playing Freud in this show.  Sigmund Freud was a founder of psychoanalysis.  Freud is also quite famous for inventing the theory of penis envy. The idea that some women's problems take root in their deep dark desire for a penis of their own. Now this theory isn't all that popular. But it could be a fun referral, yes. Dingle and schwang in the song is a slang for penis. Tinkle is a cute children's word for peeing. It is either that or Joey's imitation of German accent what turns Dingle into Dinkle. An old penis-envy theory, slang and a sort of cute switch of Dingle to Dinkle are what make the song eventually funny.  If you are curious for another pretty awesome theory on how musical  Love, Torment & Lolli
