The animated spy-sex-and-torture farce called "Archer" airs weekly on FX.
_Time_ and the _Times_ are among the wild ravers.

>From a recent episode:

"With shit-tons of weed":  lots; "shitloads" [144,000 Google hits]

"These potatoheads": Irish people; "micks." [in HDAS files; 500,000+ Google
hits on "Irish potatohead"]

"Holy shitsnacks!": "Wow!" [ca1000 hits, most connected with "Archer"]

"How about 'Citizen Dickbag'?" : "jerk," "douchebag," etc. [40,000 hits]
