Money be Green

Thanks to Virginia for both these tips. Lovers of language must not miss the 100 Best Quotes from The Wire. There are spoilers for each season, but the montage runs chronologically so you can watch until you get to where you're at. And, if you don't like the words motherfucker (among others) perhaps give it a miss. Also, a show to look out for: Treme.

Can't thank you enough for this link Sophie! As a recent convert to the series, happiness on these hot Melbourne nights we've been having is the kids in bed, a cold drink and a new episode of The Wire to enjoy. Am I the only one going around saying "Aight" all the time, as if I was dealing at the Towers?

You are not the only one. Delicacy does not permit me to repeat all the details of The Wire's contribution to my vocabulary here.
