A nice Marvel UK ad for the Airfix Stuka prizes in Fury No. 5, dated 13 April 1977. The main image is the classic Airfix box art by Ken McDonough (d. 16/01/2002) from 1976.
Simon Marshall: Show him the shirts, Adrian. Now, you'll like these. You'll really "dig" them. They're "fab," and all the other pimply hyperboles.
George: [Gives the shirts to Dolly, the secretary, unimpressed] I wouldn't be seen dead in them. They're dead grotty.
Simon Marshall: "Grotty"?
George: Yeah, grotesque.
Simon Marshall: [To Dolly] Make a note of that word and give it to Susan. It's rather touching, really. Here's this kid, trying to give me his utterly valueless opinion, when I know for a fact that within a month, he'll be suffering from a violent inferiority complex and loss of status, because he isn't wearing one of these nasty things! Of course they're grotty, you wretched nit. That's why they were designed! But that's what you'll want.
George: I won't.
George brings a new word into the English language on the 13th April 1964 during the filming of his solo scene in A Hard Day’s Night - Ded Grotty!
There was one piece of dialogue where I say, 'Oh, I'm not wearing that - that's grotty!' Alun Owen made that up; I didn't. People have used that word for years now. It was a new expression: grotty - grotesque.
[George, Anthology]
