And mental here doesn't really mean ill or sick as you guys would call it sometimes it just means what it means you know. ie say if some guy just slashed someone(cut someone) the someone would say "aww hes pure mental"



Oh and laquer = gloss to you guys i think lol and i can never spell laquer properly!! :x
