Hang from the Ceiling and Drip Green
Revision as of 11:13, 8 July 2020 by Leah Zeldes Smith (talk | contribs)
“Hang from the ceiling and drip green,” a fannish epithet meaning “fuck off,” stems from “Born of Man and Woman,” a science fiction short story by Richard Matheson, originally published in the July 1950 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
| From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
| (Matheson:Rapp) Objurgation -- meaning, roughly, "go soak your head" -- from "Born of Man and Woman"; given fannish currency by its use in the battles between the DSFL and the Wolverine Insurgents. |
