"a Stu." For Dex and his friends, Stu is a name for a person who is the opposite of Steve, or the opposite of a person who is cool. Just think Barney Fife, Gomer Pyle. Fife and Pyle are two TV characters form the 1960s that were socially awkward, unattractive and the opposite of cool. Jughead! A silly insult word (A jug is large glass or cup). You guys are all Steves and I’m Gomer-fucking-Pyle, man? Note the inter-syllabic use of the adjective "fucking." Very crude, but an interesting example of how grammatically versatile the word ‘fuck’ can be. Screw you guys, screw you all! :: Come on, Dave… "Screw you" is a more gentle way of saying "fuck you" (The verb "to screw" means to have sex). Go to hell, Bro! Another somewhat gentler way of saying "fuck you." What’s that piece of shit there? :: Syd’s under the impression it’s a motorcycle. A "piece of shit" can refer to anything that is considered bad or of bad quality (from a movie to a house). Crude but common. She’d rather ride that, than deal with me? "To deal with" a person is to do business with, pass time with, or talk with them. Syd just invited us to her opening night. :: Guys don’t do opera. The "opening night" of a movie or opera is the first night that it is performed in a particular place. Note the slangy use of the verb "to do" in the second sentence (It’s more correct to say "guys don’t like opera). A, he is, and B, he doesn’t. Dex’s way of telling Syd that Jeremy is her boyfriend and that he doesn’t like opera (Letters are used instead of numbers to make specific points). Would you guys stop flirting? :: We’re not flirting. Yuck. "To flirt" with another person is to act in a playful or seductive way that tries to sexually attract them. "Yuck" is an excellent word to express general disgust or strong disapproval. I’m going to tell you this one last time, and maybe you should tattoo it on your dick so you don’t forget: We pursue that which retreats from us. "To tattoo" a picture is to draw it on a person’s skin in such a way that it will not disappear. "Dick" is a popular slang word for penis. "To pursue" a person is to chase after them, and to "retreat" from a person is to move away from them. I don’t get the whole retreating thing. :: Chicks are like hunters. They want to bag a lion or a bear. Something hard to catch. Here, "to get" something means to understand it (Very common). "To bag" an animal is a slangy way of saying to capture it. You’re like this affectionate little puppy. An "affectionate" person is very warm and gives a lot of friendship or love to others. With chicks, boredom equals death. You can’t bore them. Dex’s way of saying that to attract women, you must excite them. They like chasing rabbits that dart in and out of bushes.
