Black Man Group

This was the original musically synchronized acrobat performance ghetto act,- time and time replaced in the streets of Harlem; with each and every retiring member - penniless! Sadly, only very few people now hear the distant struck metal garbage-can resonate with rhythm and tone throughout an empty far-off back alley.

They were the stepping-stones used to launch the careers of the now made famous and world renowned, "Blue Man Group."
The Black Man Group is proof that, "What happens in Harlem, Stays in Harlem!"

The Black Man Group is proof that people really will work for food!

Urban Snow Fence

As noted by New York City Street Police: Taking place in winter, this beat cop coined phrase is metaphorical in meaning, yet actually functional of purpose if conditions right:

This stupid human trick requires a minimum of four unknowing participants and one sleepy-head street dealer of flake cocaine. The phenomena usually takes place on the third calender day of the month, which of course is welfare, disability and social security check arrival time. It is during a blowing snowstorm that four or more appropriately attired individuals wait for said drug dealer. They stand at a light post in an orderly first come first served line. This arrangement, in effect, duplicates the function of a rural snow collecting drift fence.
I didn't know it was the third of the month; would you look at the length of that urban snow fence!

Rizzo

A character in the American movie classic, “Grease.”: This acting role required a part played with a vigorous, tough no nonsense approach. This is because “Rizzo” is the shot-calling leader of a high school gang called, “The Pinks”…, yes I know, the pinks; has it been mentioned that Rizzo is a girl? Rizzo likes to drink, smoke and generally wants too, the things that fancy a boy’s desire…, other girls’ maybe? These nuances can easily verify with a thirty first screening of the movie..., that is, unless your person only recently snapped out of a thirty year coma!

Nonetheless, now is when this Urban Dictionary allows for a more penetrating definition of character role. It was some thirty odd years ago when a young actress named Stockard Channing won this acting nod.

Uncannily, in this same self awareness book, there is another personalized description of an actress that eerily names as “Stockyard Channing.” Can it be that there is a connection here? If one reads the reason for this person being referred to as term, this now quasi game show interpretation seems all the more plausible.
Rizzo, this is a pajama party dance not leather chaps and sheepskin pants!

Orvilled and Dunsworth

To be Orved & Dunzed as the grandchildren would say but yet, still not know exactly why, constitutes this term ever the more humorous as an old money, high society knee-slapper of a joke. When used in its original full length format it can be soothing for the soul as comedic relief by these aristocratic snobs. This tells of their apathy in life, yet humorous notation of tragedy experienced by others same; who through some type of Wall Street disaster, had instantly lost all financial ability to maintain like social standing and living existence.

To be Orvilled and Dunsworthed is to meet financial Armageddon when 'rolled over' are all assets to pay an outstanding liability. To be Orvilled Nothing can dig out, these of the once affluent from said predicament. To be Dunsworthed …Except the grandchildren maybe? Orville Dunsworth is a dug from the grave character in the movie, “Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things!”
It's not nice to make fun of the Orvilled and Dunsworthed!

Splash the Zeros

Put them in the drink..., Shoot them out of the sky..., Give them a Mitsubishi Migraine that they'll soon forget. These are all terms heard during the South Pacific Theater in WWII. In this case, each one called for the downing of Japanese Zero Fighter Planes. "Splash the Zeros" was the phrase used in the movie, "The Final Countdown."

This "Splash" phrase and "These pretzels are making me thirsty" are opposite in meaning, but same of outcome for the intended purpose. See 'These pretzels are... in This Urban Dictionary' To splash the Zeros' is a privilege for the Urban Dictionary Editor who lives for the rejecting of idiotic and arcane stupidness reflected in most suggested definitions.
Splash the Zeros, I repeat, splash the Zeros, put'em in the deep blue!

These Pretzels are Making Me Thirsty

To tire of..., To be weary of..., but yet, keep plodding on, doing what it is that causes the weariness. This catchphrase actually come from the "Sienfeld" sitcom.

However, it is easily applied to the state of mind of an Urban Dictionary Editor who has tired of, and grown weary of having to constantly push the, "Do Not Publish" button while at his/her station and thereby curtail and do away with someone's dream of being published!
These pretzels are making me thirsty; no, actually these dry of humor and non-makable of sense suggestions are driving me crazy!
