I've never understood the point of the title, brilliant as it is.

"Let's Kill Uncle" the film is the reference, as for the meaning of it...
Thank you!
It's the only Morrissey title where I could never work out the meaning or the original refernce.
At least now I know what it's a reference to!
from the film 'Let's Kill Uncle'
Could you please explain what each of the other ones mean/refer to?
Yes, "I am a secret gay [wink]", basically.
Hope this helps!
My understanding is that it was also a song recorded or attempted in 1990, at the outset of the sessions for the LP, and while it never came to fruition he kept the title. I think I read that in Mozipedia.
As with anything to do with Morrissey where the meaning is not immediately obvious, Kill Uncle is a reference to gay sex, an admission that he is a Nazi and a coded message to Johnny Marr.
I had no idea the title was so riven with filth.
I can't recall the source offhand, but it's been said he also liked the inherent phonetic pun of the implied opposite: kill un-kill.
