The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

fooly cooly, similar connatation to the western "Hokey Pokey"

meaning, it's weird, wacked out, nuts, wacky, and as p1x4r put it kah-ray-zzzzz(y)

awesome animation by Gainax(neon genesis) and Production IG(ghost in the shell.)

Sorry, I wasn't being clear.

I know FLCL transliterates into "Fooly Cooly." What I meant was what does "Fooly Cooly" mean? So, Car50, it means "weird, wacked out, nuts, wacky, and as p1x4r put it kah-ray-zzzzz(y)," huh? Cool. Thanks!

Hanky Panky...
I don't think the wikipedia article is totally correct.
I have been told by Japanese speaking friends, fans of the show, and my own interpretation that it stands for "messing around."

Interesting... I had read that it basically means "grabbing someone's rear", in a flirt-y way. Can any of the Japanese members hear give us the final answer?
