Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is." (Sass: know, be aware of, meet, have sex with; hoopy: really together guy; frood: really amazingly together guy.)
( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Towel_Day_origin_page_from_The_Hitchhikers_Guide_to_the_Galaxy.jpg ) That was from the book. But I could have sworn that the radio scripts (or was it the tv mini-series?) said "Froopy Dude". Anyone have a reference for it? -Steve On Mar 25, 2013, at 10:00 AM, Michael Torrie wrote: > On 03/25/2013 09:58 AM, Levi Pearson wrote: >> On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 9:41 AM, Michael Torrie <torr...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> On 03/25/2013 09:33 AM, Steve Alligood wrote: >>>> Hey, you're a real froopy dude! >>> >>> I think it's actually "froody" if I recall correctly. >> >> Tsk.
