I'm thinkin' that, in your case anyway Doc, it stands fer "Off-Their-Rocker".

'Glad ta give ya somethin' in return fer a change Don.
'While back my very gifted brother-in-law Richie redid Mama Java'z family radio that wuz from back in'a 20'z n' then'ee gave it to us. Great big hunk'a furniture brought back ta better'n new condition. Impressive piece'a workin' history. (Whut kin I tell ya? He muss'a not ever read the "Brother-In-Law" handbook.)
Only problem izz, any AM in our area'z so much "Yakkity-yak should'a tagged'im on'att play, so-n'-so should never've offered'im that much with his yakkity-yak".
So, I turn on the old cut-glass lamp on top of the radio, crank'er up so that the green crystal "eye" n' the tubes're aglow, keep the volume off n' set the Sony carosel fer Big Band n' kick back with "In the Mood" 'r "Take the A Train".
Life'z good n' I'm golden.
'At'll doo donkey . . 'at'll doo.
Tickled ta be able ta share it with folks who kin appreciate it guys.
