fried gold
Fried Gold, meaning 'great' or 'perfect' replaced the phrase 'Textbook' in the Spaced DVD commentry and also appeared in
Shaun of the Dead. The phrase was invented by
Nick Frost, who is also a firm believer that dogs can't look up.

Again,invented by
Nick Frost and popularized by the movie Shaun of the Dead. However, I believe the intended meaning stems not from something being hot enough to fry gold, but rather a combination of the appreciations for things made of gold, and fried foods; as if the only way gold could be any more valuable is if it were battered and deep fried. (Mmmmmmm,
fried gold..) This also seems very befitting of
Nick Frost's character.
Example:
Q: "
What'd you think of that movie last night?"
A: "Absolute
fried gold, loved it."
"Look at that
hot rod, what a piece of fried gold."

To do something that is especially good,
being hot enough to fry gold.
I believe this term comes from the people responsible for the british TV sitcom 'Spaced' and the romantic zombie comedy 'Shaun of the Dead'. As far as I'm aware the man responsible is the
rotund comedy actor,
Nick Frost.
Example:
1. after viewing an especially good performance of any kind: "That performance was
fried gold"
2. after explaining a very cunning plan to someone: "Now
how's that for
a slice of fried gold?"

Usually a British or Irish term. It means something Extremely good or appealing. Heres an explanation of the words
Slice- as in
a slice of pie, which is very appealing
Fried - Everyone loves fried food
Gold - Fuck, who doesnt love gold?
So, therefore,
Slice of fried gold means something that
when you see it, you melt in your pants
hows THAT for a slice of fried gold?
