Re: What's A "sid"? :-D
It was a put-down, meaning something like lame, that Glen used. I don't know if he made it up or if it came from a Bowery Boys film or something. I guess I should ask the other guys about it's origin.
Re: What's A "sid"? :-D
Janice (Glen's sis) and Neal agree with your definition. "A square guy. Someone who does something stupid." Janice recalls that he may have heard it on a movie...or maybe he just made it up while watching a movie.

Well that is interesting as at first some thought it must be Syd Barret or Sid Vicious who are both dead and squandered their talent.

Apparently it's also a racial slur for a Hasidic Jew in NYC and it's locality

Glen never used it as a racial slur. With him, anyone could do something that warranted being called a Sid.
