redneck engineering

The use of unorthodox methods and tools to build, modify or repair machinery, vehicles, etc, usually with little regard to finesse or technique.

Common tools include: sledgehammers, cutting torches, arc welders, come-alongs, jacks, porta-power kits, large prybars, sawzalls, lengths of pipe and 2 X 4s

So named for the stereotypical redneck who fixes things through brute force and duct tape.

The popular TV shows Monster Garage and Junkyard Wars often feature great masterpieces of redneck engineering

mad dog

Slang term for Mogen David wine, especially the fortified-wine MD 20/20 variety. The MD stands for Mogen David. It was shortened to MD for their line of bum wines to differentiate between their more respectable (if no less nasty) line of kosher wines.

Contrary to popular myth, there has never been a wine sold under the name Mad Dog.

Got me some Mad Dog last night and got fucked up.

There's a new flavor of Mad Dog called Buck Bunny and it's licorice! Nasty!

Red Grape Mad Dog is 18% alcohol.
