Oceans 11
2 Answers
In Oceans Eleven (the Soderbergh/ Clooney/Pitt one) When discussing their plans Brad Pitt's character says's they'll need a something, a something and a Ella Fitgerald... (Obviously these are supposed to be a reference to the various cons they will need to pull) Are these just made up for the film or do they exist?

As far as i can see it (though i'm not convinced about some of my reasoning) a "boesky" is a businessman (the guy with the ulcer) ala the Boesky chap who apparently swindled wall street, A Jim Brown is reference to James Brown and i presume means basically a black guy, a miss daisy is a driver (the brothers who kept scrapping with each other), 2 jethros - no idea or why they're called that, a leon spinks is a fighter (after Mr Spinks himself) and an ella fitzgerald i assume is a pickpocket (ella = pianist = light fingered) which was played by Matt Damon. what does everyone else reckon to my reasoning?
