Rear Admiral

A Rear Admiral is slang for a proctologist.

"I know I'm a proctologist; and I find it disrespectful to be referred to as a bum doctor or as a Rear Admiral, unless you give me a snappy uniform."

king cake

The traditional Mardi Gras circular cake: festively iced with purple, gold, and green frosting. A small bean or plastic doll baby is inserted somewhere in each one. The one who gets this has to provide the king cake next year.

We had the traditional New Orleans king cake. As, as is tradition, it was not very good this year, either. Still, it's a reminder of New Orleans: the best damned city in the country. Even though it's down now, it will come back, so hang loose and let the good times roll.

I'm constipated, so gimme two piledrivers and a half-hour.

dinosaur

A person who has been employed for a long time by a corporation, university, or organization. Generally used disparagingly by younger persons who regard this person as a general obstacle to progress, or one to their own personal advancement. The expression implies obsolescence on the part of the person so described, whether factually or not.

The English Department was filled with dinosaurs who were on the faculty for more than thirty years. They should set a maximum limit on the number of years a person may be on the faculty!
