Helluva Tame

What is Helluva Tame?


1.

usually "not very good", "weak", "lacking in substance"

Commonly used in the UK during mid 70s as a disparaging adjective. However, occasionally could be used to describe rock music in a less negative manner, in which context it can also imply "gentle" or "sensitive"

The opposite was generally hellish beef

Barker: "what kind of sounds do you dig, man?

Tender:

"Oh, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Heep .... any hellish beef stuff really"

Barker:

"Yeah me too, Zep are the men - I even like their helluva tame stuff on Zep 3"

Tender: "Wheyyy.... look at that guy with the hellish beef prime Plant locks over there!"

Barker: "Yeah, he looks beef but he's carrying a helluva tame Cat Stevens album under his arm"

See the men, sugars
