Snaggle tooth

A gold or silver charm in the shape of a small horn, worn on a chain, popular among young-adult males, especially those of Italian ethnicity.
There is no doubt that few if any of the young men who wear the ubiquitous "snaggle tooth" pendant are aware of the charm's true origins: In medieval Italy, it was a sign of shame worn by a man whose wife had left him for another - a cuckold.

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.
