baby bust

A sharp or prolonged decline in the birth rate, such as that which occurred in the United States from 1958 through 1968.

in-out-in-out

Vaginal or anal intercourse.

We went down to the derelict casino where we came across Billyboy and his four droogs (friends); they were getting ready to perform a bit of the old in-out-in-out on a weepy young devotchka (girl) they had there - from the 1971 film "A Clockwork Orange"

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.

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.
