Anyone remember this insult for the late 70's early '80s?


"You are a reject from the o'jays!"?

I just remembered that and wonder what it meant and where it came from.

I remember us kids saying that to each other all the time.

Reading the thread title, my immediate thought was "Up your nose with a rubber hose"....

The O'Jays were a singing group - Hall of Fame R&B group.

No idea if this is correct, but the O'Jays had many different lineups over the years and managed to have continued success for decades. To be "a reject from the O'Jays" likely means that you're expendable. The group didn't skip a beat when a member would leave, or die.

Just a guess.
