al-in-chgo's definitions
The area of Pennsylvania, generally east and south of Pittsburgh in the Appalachian Mountain chain, that behaves more like Appalachia than the affluent East. Pennsyltucky is characterized by a poorish white population, mountain living, and a lack of cultural and ethnic diversity. It is a portmanteu of PENNSYLvania and KenTUCKY, the former state showing its mid-Atlantic location and the latter its poor ethnic white makeup. It is worth noting that Pennsylvania and Kentucky have no common border, so the term differs from more common locutions like "Illiana" or "Ark-La-Tex."
-- "Did you know that Vice President Joe Biden coined the term Pennsyltucky?"
-- Actually the term was in use over ten years ago, but Biden reactivated it to refer to a distinct geographical and ethnic bloc within Pennsylvania -- a bloc that Donald Trump would probably have to win to take all of Pennsylvania in the 2016 Presidential election."

Another term for trunk or treat, the emerging American practice of children's trick or treating for candy out of car trunks whose owners have convened in church or shopping-center parking lots for the occasion. The practice, which is similar to sports-events tailgating of meals near a stadium, is meant to offer children a safer experience than walking the streets.
"I need to buy lots of candy. Time for Halloween tailgating."
"You need so much candy for a football game?"
"No, it's for trick-or-treating out of car trunks near the church on Halloween afternoon, also called trunk or treat."
"Very clever, these Americans."

How a person travels (frequently impromptu) who uses no special-affinity credit cards (that tie into retailers, hoteliers, etc.), keeps no priority accounts with hotel chains, does not accumulate airline miles, nor qualifies for rebates or discounts, nor contributes to add-a-dollar or round-it-up programs.
"When I travel I go where I want to go when I want to go. I don't travel often, but when I do I pay standard fare or phone ahead. I don't rack up hotel points, airline points, Amtrak points, cruise-ship points, department store points, major-league team points, hotel/motel points, rent-a-car points or charity points. I pay what I pay and if it's too much, I shop around or don't go. Nobody needs to know my password or log-in, and I don't get a dozen e-mails a week. I get bumps and privileges like you wouldn't believe. Nothing influences my choice of company or chain when I travel. That's called flying Priority None."

Get the Priority Nonemug. Legoland is that place in your town or urban area where medium-height buildings (10-25 stories) seem to have sprouted almost overnight between about 1985 and today. Such an area with a high Legoland factor will boast modestly asymmetrical offices and hotels, and a fair degree of dark gray window glass, set among multilane roads and parking garages. Because of zoning designed to benefit large corporate builders, there will be an absence of such attractive nuisances as billboards and strip malls. Public transit will be close to nonexistent.
--What's the most Legoland place in the Chicago area?
--Many people would say Schaumburg but I would nominate the area west of Chicago at the intersection of the I-88 Reagan Toll Road and I-355. The buildings are all modern and were probably considered modestly daring in the past 25 years when they were built, but in reality are unchallenging and dull.
--Why doesn't Schaumburg qualify?
--It has some newer buildings but also lots from the mid-Sixties to the mid-Eighties, a style more Judgment City than Legoland.
(see "Judgment City").

Get the Legolandmug. Same as "jerk off" (masturbate); also used as a noun to reference a feckless, no-account person, usu. male.
Up until the 1980s, "jack off" was considered more a Southern (USA) locution than "jerk off," which was considered more urban and Northeastern/Midwestern states. Considerable swapping around has taken place in the meantime, probably because of increased social mobility and relaxed codes of censorship.

1)...All little Timmy can talk about is sex. If I weren't so polite, I'd have told him to go get laid, or to jack off in a corner...
2)...'If y'all boys didn't jack off so much, you might amount to something.'... (closet-case coach to members of the high-school basketball team in 1971 movie THE LAST PICTURE SHOW).

"Pre-ejaculatory fluid" is the clnical medical way to say what most of us call "pre-cum" or "precum": the usually clear and viscous liquid seceted by the Cowper's Gland (a tiny gland inside the male's genito-urinary works) that precedes actual orgasm and ejaculation of semen ("cum").
The amount secreted as pre-ejaculatory fluid varies from nothing or next-to-nothing to a great amount. See basketball player.

The most popular brand of condom-safe sexual lubricant mimics very well the clearness, thickness (viscosity), slipperiness and slight stickiness of pre-ejaculatory fluid.
