Anthony Brancato's definitions

Negadelphian

Originally, a fan or follower of the Philadelphia-based professional sports teams who refused to celebrate the two Stanley Cup championships won by the Philadelphia Flyers in 1974 and 1975 on the grounds that hockey should not be considered a "major" sport; today, a Philadelphia sports fan who is either unduly pessimistic about one or more of the local teams' immediate prospects, or one who strenuously disagrees with the policies, player-personnel decisions etc., made by said team or teams.
Many sports fans in Philadelphia regard the local sports-talk radio station, WIP, as nothing more than a vast sounding board for Negadelphians.

Pam

Valium, or any one of several similar drugs.
Valium has become known as "pam" in some circles because its generic name is diazepam; many other drugs in the same chemical class also have generic names ending with those same three letters (Dalmane = flurazepam, Ativan = lorazepam, etc.).

floonie

Rohypnol, also known as the "date rape drug" (short form of the drug's generic name, flunitrazepam).
She wouldn't take her eyes off her drink as she headed toward the ladies' room; maybe she was afraid someone might try and slip her a floonie or something.

felprost

Felony prostitution; the crime of prostitution treated legally as a felony rather than a misdemeanor because the person accused thereof is HIV-positive.
Gay rights groups object to the "felprost" laws on the books in many states because they believe such laws inordinately target male "hustlers" as opposed to female, heterosexual prostitutes.

Guidoville

A neighborhood where many Guidos live or are thought to live, such as the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn in New York City.
Shortly after the death of Yusuf Hawkins in Bensonhurst in 1989, columnist Pete Hamill wrote a highly controversial column in the New York Post entitled, "The Lesson of Howard Beach Was Lost on the Punks of Guidoville."

Big Stagecoach

(usually preceded by "the") Fargo, North Dakota (due to its being the state's largest city).
It was during the peak popularity of Fargo-born singer Bobby Vee that a local disc jockey came up with the nickname "The Big Stagecoach."

tank

To deliberately lose a sporting event or contest, esp. with the intention of gaining some future advantage (such as a higher selection in an upcoming draft, etc.)
The NBA lottery was implemented in the 1980s so that non-contending teams would have less incentive to "tank" games at the end of the season in order to secure the top pick in the following summer's draft.
