Get the fandelier mug.1. A euphemism combined with a metaphor: Knob: euphemism for dick head, penis (cf. "get my knob polished"). Slobber: visible pre-cum (pre-ejaculate fluid) emanating from the penis, so called because the fluid is clear and visually resembles drool or spittle.
2. By extension, knob slobber can also mean a dick head bearing visible saliva (spittle) from fellatio, together with pre-ejaculate. The combination of the two is also clear.
A related term is knob slob, a giver of messy blowjobs.

Get the knob slobber mug.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."

Get the Pennsyltucky mug.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 Legoland mug.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."
