"back-number" from thefreedictionary.com Noun 1. someone who is no longer popular; has-been; golden ager, old person, oldster, senior citizen - an elderly person
i just couldn't figure out what "back note" was supposed to mean, so i listened closer and i believe he is saying "back-number", and it makes more sense to me, like his flipping through "Miserable Freak Show Quarterly" and the people in the photos, "back-numbers", speak to him.
i also originally thought i was hearing "acknowledging its malediction" rather than "acknowledging it's my addiction"....what do you all think? i can hear "my addiction" now but i just wanted to know if you thought it makes more sense one way or the other.
- Just listening for syllables and consonants, it definitely sounds like "back note" to me. Whether or not one makes more sense than the other, I only hear one syllable (note), not two. As for malediction, I hear no "L" sound (actually, the y-turning-to-a causes a throaty "H" sound if anything). I can never be certain 100% of what I hear, so I will wait for another opinion to come in before I make any changes. ~ magbatz 01:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- In defense of "back number," Linnell's pronunciation of "quarterly" also sounds /nothing/ like "quarterly," and sounds like two syllables. Maybe he just couldn't enunciate properly that day? Rucksack Jack 20:44, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- "back number" from thefreedictionary.com, "Noun 1. an old issue of a newspaper or magazine." This definition is a perfect match in terms of what he's talking about-- namely, issues of a magazine. ~ magbatz 21:06, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Is it "cure my ills" or "cure my ails"? I'm hearing the latter. ~ veggieman 23:46, 10 February 2014 (EST)
