witches brew

Witches brew is a family term for coffee. The stronger the coffee, the more it deserved the name of "witches brew". I think it got this name from the strong flavor of the coffee and the busy behaviour of people who drink too much coffee.

Mother laughed as she poured the hot liquid she called "witches brew" from the coffee pot into the porcelain mug. "Here", she said, offering me a cup of her famous witches brew.

slum lord

People who own property and rent it out to low income people for more than the property is worth and never bother to keep the rentals up to health code standards. Rich people who make their money victimizing low income families.

We asked the land lord to fix the leaky water faucet, and get rid of the cockroaches, but he won't do it; the guy is just another 21st century slum lord.

fo shizzle my nizzo

The breakdown to this is the expressor to the expressee: shizzle my nizzo! This means putting action upon any object. Shizzle is the verb and Nizzo is the object of the verb. The expressor is asking the expressee to "do something to something"! Whatever it is and to what is up for purely speculative interpretation and depends on the linguistic conditions and the situational environment of the moment.

Lord girlfriend, I haven't seen you for so long. Come over here and "shizzle my nizzo"!
