fish food

What a dead body becomes after it is creamated; not all that unlike, "worm food" which is what a dead body becomes when it is buried in a graveyard.

It's called fish food because the ashes of dead people are frequently sprinkled into sizable bodies of water such as lakes, harbours, channels, sounds, bays, oceans, etc.

{Aaron): Hey Jimbo, didjya hear that Bernie in Juneau got hosed down last weekend?
{Jimbo}: Yeah, he became fish food a couple of days ago; I think that the video of Bernie's parents sprinkling his ashes in Gastineau Channel is on YouTube by now -- if they have YouTube in Alaska anyway.

Twenty Stick-Busted-Stick

Simply put, the year 2017.
Called Twenty Stick-Busted-Stick because when viewed from above, it looks like a twenty, a stick, and a broken stick.

{On a BBS about wheelchairs and scooters}:

Urine Potato

A handle (pseudonym) that was used on dial-up BBSs in the late-1980s until approx. the turn of the century. Used on internet BBSs (forums or even fora if you want to be anal about it!) even to this day {early-2013}.

Can also be used to describe a potato that tastes like piss.

synthetic air raid siren

The sound of an air raid siren, produced solely by synthesizer hardware or computer software synthesis.

No real air raid sirens are dented with a hammer, mutilated, or even destroyed when synthetic air raid sirens are deployed

Timmy, you've just got to "lissen" to the zax from the Commodore Amiga demo, "Massive" by the Commodore Amiga computer demo group Skarla! You can hear synthetic air raid sirens at the very beginning!

synthetic katydids

The sound of a katydid (a cricket-like insect) created either via computer software or synthesizer hardware. Found in some types of Hi-NRG music.

I listened to a song by some Hi-NRG group a few days ago that had synthetic katydids in it.

QFC

Queer Fucking Cock -- not to be confused with QFC -- the grocery store.
QFC is most often found on a male prostitute who's a F46607.

{LaToya} Larry, we're having BLTs tonight, so I'll go to QFC and pick up some wilted lettuce, rotten tomatoes, stale bread, and green bacon. And don't be surprised if I'm gone a bit longer than expected; I may go get some QFC after I go to QFC.
