was, Hey! You know, we left this England place 'cause it was bogus; so if we don't get some cool rules ourselves - pronto - we'll just be bogus too! Get it”? This particular quote from The Fast Times at Ridgemont High, epitomizes the 1980s stoner stereotype in Jeff Spicoli, and mocks the ability for stoners to rationale and their ability to articulate thoughts.
