Why didn't 'Station!' catch on?
Yall got to admit. It would've been siiiiiiiiick if that word caught on. Am I right?

I think George Lucas tried to do the same thing with "Wizard" in The Phantom Menace. "You're going to compete in the pod race? That is soooo wizard Anni."
STATION!
Yes, but Lucas didn't invent the use of "wizard" as slang. You'll find it in Agatha Christie.
Here is some actual dialogue from "And Then There Were None":
MARSTON: That dirty old double-crosser! He's let me down. Well, it's a pretty wizard island. Rather a wizard girl, that secretary. She ought to liven things up a bit. I say, old man, what about dressing for dinner if there's time?
LOMBARD: Let's go and explore.
MARSTON: How wizard!
LOMBARD: Things are a bit at sixes and sevens with the Owens not turning up.
MARSTON: Tricky, what? I say, wizard place for a holiday, what?

Actually its used a lot in Enid Blyton books too. I always took it to mean the British slang for awesome.
Very good. But brick not hit back!share
