2. Don't Recall Hearing the Term 'Debaser'
but the verb debase means to degrade - to corrupt, to cheapen in value. Come to think of it, I think I've heard it used in connection with youth or women - as in calling the pornography industry a 'debaser of women' or rock music a 'debaser of youth.'

UN CHIEN ANDALUSIA:

Based on French surrealistic film "Un Chien Andalou", by Spanish director Luis Bunuel (1928). The film has a scene in which an eyeball is being cut open.

"I am un chien andalusia" actually mixes English ("I am"), Spanish ("un", which exists in French, but is actually pronounced as in Spanish), French ("chien"), and something undetermined ("andalusia" as such is neither French nor Spanish).

The Pixies borrow from some pretty obscure sources.
