Up your ziggy with a wa-wa brush.
That little saying has been stuck in my head all day. =)
shareI actually said to my friend and she look at me like I was stupid.
sharehaha, same with me, I said it to my mom, she was like what the hell was that?
shareHaha, classic line!
I've said it a couple times too..

My best friend (who loves this movie and made me sit through it) finally stopped saying that. Everytime she'd get ticked off at me, that'd be the first thing she'd say and I'd always roll my eyes and change the subject. I'm so glad she stopped saying it haha.

Hello, Super Nintendo Chalmers
the boyz say "masterly" about as often as they say "awesome" now.

What the heck is a wa-wa brush?

I love saying "up your ziggy with a wa-wa brush". Whenever I am mad at anyone, I say it to them in my head, because if I really said it, they would like what the hell?
shareI think it's anything you want it to be. Odie says in the movie that she made it up. She also says "None of your floppin bunnies" later. And "snarf the big kielbasa." The script's on the director's website is how I know.
shareloooooooool kielbasa means sausage in polish!
I didn't notice she said that lol I can't believe it :)
The phrase isn't original: the Jack Nicholson character (Buddusky) in "The Last Detail" says the same thing, though instead of "ziggy" it's something that sounds more like "giggy."
It's part of a rhymed couplet: "Up your giggy with a wa wa brush, stick it in and break it off." He says it as a commentary on the plight of the Randy Quaid characater (Meadows), who has been sentenced to eight years imprisonment in the Naval brig for attempting to steal forty dollars.
In the real world, the phrase must either have been:
- made up by Robert Towne (who wrote screenplay for "The Last Detail," getting an Oscar nomination in the process);
- made up by Darryl Ponicsan (who wrote the novel on which the movie was based); or
- a phrase that was really used in the real world before the novel and movie, though perhaps only in the part of it in which Navy seamen travel.
In the fictional world of "All I Wanna Do," I suppose Odie might have made it up.
Ha I said it to my friend to. She looked at me like I had three heads and then laughed. Its the perfect way to end an argument. =D
Expecially if no one has seen the movie.
I love that line. One of the funniest in the movie.
