	THING-FISH: What on urf do you mean: 'MY LANGUAGE'? I got yo language hangin', boy, 'long wif a two-week supply of IGNINT McNUGGET, de breakfast o' champiums!
From: Vladimir Sovetov <sova@arf.ru> McNugget Buddies - tiny round charachters from McDonalds FastFood world. The complete set consists of 6 Buddies (McBoo, Monster, Mummy, McNuggla, Pumpkin, Witchie). And they really look LIKE A POTATO.
From: Patrick Neve <splat@darkwing.uoregon.edu> I don't know from "McNugget Buddies", but I think this is in reference to McNuggets in general. A McDonalds fast food ploy from decades ago. Take the giblets and leftovers from a chicken, deep-fry that sucker, and voila!
Chicken McNuggets. I'm not sure but I think this was successful enough to inspire McNuggets made from other animals as well. Regardless, you can have anything-mcnugget.. just take a little scrap of something, bread it and fry it, there ya go. What I think has been overlooked is that this actually a form of soul food for white people. Also in Zappa's use its reminiscent of doin' the dozens, or signifying, the history and practice of which is too elaborate a practice to be explored fully in this forum. Basically anything beginning with the words "Yo Mama..." can be seen as such a statement, and one could easily imagine a statement such as "You so dumb, yo' mama raised you on ignint mcnugget". Actually for more about signifying you should read the following Straight Dope archive: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_244c.html
