Why did Jeffrey Dahmer invite Jackie Chan over to his place?
He was in the mood for a little Chinese.
In the 70’s, my cousin bought me a record cartridge in J(apan)-Town in L.A. She said there was also a K(orean)-Town. There’s probably a V(ietnam)-Town now.
In Hawaii, Pearl City, Honolulu is jokingly referred to a J-Town because of historically large number of Japanese families.
In Orange County, there’s an area of Westminster referred (and not always affectionately) as “Little Saigon.”
There’s lots of ethnic enclaves called “Little (Something),” from Little Italy in New York (which actually has several “Little Italys”) and many other places, like Little Haiti in Miami, Little Ethiopias in Washington DC and Los Angeles, and many others.
As I recall, there’s a sign on the 22 that says LITTLE SAIGON.
‘What’s so absorbing, Junior?’
The MASH episode where the supply lines have been cut and everybody has to stuff themselves into one tent. Frank Burns comes in with his rifle and Hawkeye quips, “Chickee, the house dick!”
I doubt anybody under forty knows that “house dick” was slang back in the day for “hotel detective.” They may not even knew what a hotel detective did.
Our city has a “Little Romansh-Speaking Switzerland”, but it’s just our yard and the one next door (found out the old widow there is from the same tiny Swiss village, and her grandma originally had our last name).
I know what a house dick is (I’m 65), but I don’t get the “Chickee” reference. 
I don’t get this reference either. 
Chickee! is what you yelled when the cops or other authorities were coming. Also, “Cheese it, the cops!”
Aha! 
It’s a reference to Absorbine, Jr, for muscle pain. It used to be much more popular.
Again, aha! Nice to know! 
Although house dicks watched out for people stealing the towels, one of their duties is particularly outdated: Checking for couples who were sharing the same room but not married, plus ladies who might invite in unregistered “guests.”
I always thought they were just checking the walls. 
Back to oregano. Apparently it was unknown by some in Springfield in early 1997.
“Eight spices. Oh, some must be some doubles.”
Ah. Thanks.
And in higher-class hotels where rich people might stay - to provide security for valuables.
No, that is not outdated. Hotel Security will kick out ladies of the evening who use a hotel as a base. That can give the hotel a bad name or even get it shut down.
Now, the part about unmarried couples- that is very outdated.
