quicko: not happy jan

So I'm afraid I'm going to butcher the details here, but "not happy Jan" is a standard Australian phrase meaning "I am very unhappy," quite possibly with undertones that someone has done something to frustrate you.

It comes from a very well known commercial (perhaps for the yellow pages?) wherein a manager was Not Happy with Jan for ... (this is where I get a bit fuzzy on the details) ... and yells the iconic "NOT HAPPY JAN!"
