"Up your nose wit' a rubber hose!" - Insult used by Brooklyn high school student Vinnie Barbarino (John Travolta), a member of a group of inner-city toughs known as the Sweathogs on the sitcom WELCOME BACK, KOTTER/ABC/1975-79. The insult's often rhymed according to what body part he chose to assault as in "Off my case, potato face!" Vinnie's other catchphrases were "I'm so confused"; "Who?, what?, where?"; and "Ooookay, fine." Another of Vinnie's put-downs: "Well, you little snow-capped leprechaun, it looks like somebody played Danny Boy on your face with an ugly stick." When asked "You don't know who Americo Vespucci was?" Vinnie responds  "Of course, I know who he was. That was, that was Chef Boyardee's maiden name."
