Uh, does this catch phrase that Jay (of Silent Bob and Jay fame) always uses mean anything? How about “Snootchie Nootchies?”

That’s what they call joints in _Mallrats_.

JAY: Youze homiez know what you need?  
STUFFED SHIRT: No, what?  
JAY (holding a bag of joints): Snootchie Bootchies!

“Snootch to the nootch” is one of the phrases that the action doll version of Jay says when you press its stomach.

(A friend of mine has one of these. I suppose there is a toy version of Silent Bob as well, but it probably doesn’t speak.)

Huh. I didn’t think it meant pot, exactly. I thought it was just a meaningless phrase, like holding up the pot and saying, “Yee-haw!” or sometihng. Maybe that was just me.
