Ihaddadollaronce:
After Moe shoots the "tarantula" in Disorder in the Court, the baliff  says he will sue them.  Curly then says something like "vise (wiess?) eyed kid".  Does anyone know what he is saying?

That's question that's been asked a lot about "Disorder." To me it sounds like, "Oh, vice-eye kid!," which I can't figure out. It could be a Yiddish expression (it's obviously ad-libbed by Curly), but I know some Yiddish and I can't identify it. BeAStooge or Stooge might know.

"superstitious, eh?"
"oh, a vi-sci kid..."
it's a spoonerism/brooklynism of 'sci-fi', slangy kind of in the vein of 'oh you kid' or 'quiz kid'... i love those psychedelic moments in the really old shorts (don't get poisonal!), like listening to Popeye in the Fleischer cartoons muttering between the lines, or translating bowery boys etc...

That's as good an explanation as any that I've heard.

I like those "psychedelic moments" myself, bat.  One of my favorite old sci-fi movies is Howard Hawk's "The Thing From Another World" (1951).  I love the overlapping dialogues that go on throughout the movie.  And the old Bowery Boys movies are fun just for trying to understand what the heck Slip and Satch are talking about.   :D
