| 57. | crankmobile | ||
|
A noticeably dated or worn model or issue of any object, tool or device that is still heavily used by the owner. A nickname with either affectionate or disgusted overtones for such a device.
Originates from combining the word automobile and the idea that antique machinery often had to be hand-cranked to operate. Someone smashed my cell phone against a wall, so now I'm back to using the ol' crankmobile.

| 58. | M16A4 | ||
|
The modernized, updated version of the AR15 platform, currently in use by the United States Army and Marine Corps. While in less numbers than the M16A2, and generally only used by frontline units, it is arguably better than its predecessor. The M16A4 features a picatinny rail, a railed fore grip, detachable sights, and a 1:7' rifling, rather than the 1:12' and 1:9' rifling previous models had, which equates to better power and accuracy. The M16A4 is, essentially, an M16A3, but with a safe/semi/3-round burst selector switch, rather than a safe/semi/fully-automatic switch.
Standard magazine capacity is 30-rounds of M855 or Mk. 262 5.56x45mm ball ammunition. It is gas-operated, with a rotating bolt. It is air-cooled, with an external, detachable magazine, peep hole sights, a forward assist, and a charging handle mounted on top of the receiver, behind the picatinny/carrying rail. Reliability in the M16A4 is solid; one is capable of firing upwards of 1,000 standard, ball rounds through a decently maintained rifle, with STANAG magazines, without a single jam or malfunction. While disputably not as good as the AK platform, it is a far cry from the M16(A0), and is a step up from the M16A2. The M16A4, along with its predecessors, spare the M16(A0) are unworthy of the negative press they receive. They are great rifles, but the first version, which was heavily modified by Lyndon Johnson's DoD, has stained the M16/AR15's reputation, due to the reliability issues faced previously.

| 60. | bomber | ||
|
A 22oz bottle of beer (commonly used by microbreweries) or a 1.5 liter bottle of wine (also known as a magnum). I drank an entire bomber of something called Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale once. By the end of the meal I was listing heavily to the left and serenading my parents with a very weedy rendition of "American Pie".

Like "Spanglish", mixing Spanish with English, Denglish means mixing the German (Deutsch) with the English language.
Heavily used by imature wannabe hip hoppers and wannabe gangsters in Germany, mainly at the age of 10 to 18. Denglish: "Du bist so cool" saying "You're so cool". Seems that Germans don't have a language of their own.

| 62. | Union Turnpike | ||
|
Union Turnpike is a thoroughfare stretching across central and eastern Queens in New York City. Initially designed as a toll road, it takes a straight-arrow path from Kew Gardens Hills towards Glen Oaks on the Queens-Nassau border. At the time, Union Turnpike traveled through relatively undeveloped areas, serving as a border between the towns of Flushing and Jamaica. Though both towns were absorbed into New York City in 1898, the division is evident today in the addresses. Buildings on the north side begin with a 113- ZIP code, indicating Flushing, and buildings to the south begin with a 114-.

Prior to the construction of Grand Central Parkway in the 1930s, Union Turnpike was heavily used, and developed businesses throughout its length. Among the landmarks found along the turnpike are Forest Park, Queens Borough Hall, St. John's University, Creedmoor Psychiatric Center |

2. Popularized by the likes of A Tribe Called Quest and their contemporaries, and latterly adopted heavily by British drum n bass MCs, iggidy comes in many forms, but riggidy has been adopted as a semi-universal term meaning anything loosely "drum n bass". It is often used to convey agreement in a very drum n bass fashion. However the meaning of riggidy is very loose and can be used interchangeably with almost any term in a DnB context to covey a sense of intimacy with the situation or environment in statement / question is made. 3. The usage of riggidy can also extend beyond the field of drum n bass and be used interchangeably with many day to day non-drum n bass based terms. NB: In many ways the closest analogue to the term "riggidy" is the term "forget about it" used by the Italian mafia to mean almost anything depending on the context of the conversation.
