The slang originated in Local Restaurants with clumsy waiters. The waiters would be "Droppin' Plates on your ass" Your in this case being the customer.

/* in Don Adams voice */

Well Would you believe . . .

/* Dropping Don Adams voice */

I do not really know but via a search on Google it would appear to be in relation to Back stabbing someone.

Here is one example.

It also appears to be from
Disturbed - The Sickness (2000)

Droppin' Plates - This is the worst song on the album, a total filler track with no point on being here. "Disturbed in the house! Droppin' Plates on your a$$!" 1

For droppin plates plates, IIRC didn'y Beavis said that when he became the Great Cornhloio?

I am aware of the the Disturbed song and I am in disagreement with the reviewer the song is good to me.


MAYBE the connection between the restaurant and betrayal you don't expect to get plates dropped on you?

I do know. Thanks for the info though M1.

Whaaaa . . .??
Thanks for clarifying w00t, though. I'd thought it was something like that but wanted to be sure . . .

P.S. Starr, your inbox is full, I can't send you a reply to your PM.

Should be able to send it now.

I just wrote in the internet language known as 1337 (pronounced leet). It's a huge geek thing that I stumbled upon once I started chatting with some of my boyfriend's friends online. It takes awhile to figure out, but once you know it it's really easy. And I'm an uber dork for knowing it...
