I was going to put one of your stickers in my taxi, but the company said it’s against their policy. But they don’t know anything. They’re a bunch of jerks. A "sticker" is a small piece of paper with a message on it that is stuck in a place where it can be easily seen, such as the bumper of a car. A "jerk" is a classic insult for a person who is stupid, arrogant, abusive, etc. What is the one thing about this country that bugs you the most? If something "bugs" you, it really annoys or bothers you. He should clean up this city, because this city is like an open sewer. It’s full of filth and scum. Sometimes I can hardly take it. An "open sewer" is a large pipe where trash and human waste (shit) is thrown. "Filth" is horrible dirtiness, and "scum" is the filth in a dirty shower. If a person "can’t take it," they can no longer accept or deal with it because it’s too disagreeable or painful. I think the President should clean up this whole mess here.

If a person is "busted," they are arrested or get into trouble for having done something wrong or illegal (such as selling drugs). "Bitch" is a very crude insult word for a mean woman. "Be cool" is a slangy way of telling someone to cooperate, or perhaps not make a scene. You got to be kidding! If a person is "kidding," they are joking around or not being serious. This is a dirty movie. :: No, all kinds of couples go here. One way of referring to a pornographic or porno movie. My parents were very strict. If parents are "strict" with their kids, they force them to follow many rules that limit their freedom, such as a requirement that they be in bed by a certain time each night. Taking me to a place like this is about as exciting as saying "Let’s fuck." This is Betsy’s very blunt (direct) way of telling Travis that she is offended that he took her to a porno movie.
