Disneyfied

Something of questionable moral value which has had a veneer of acceptability applied so that it no longer offends at any level, even though it's morality value has not been changed.
The big corporations turned Vegas into a family friendly playground, but even though the goombahs are gone and the shows are all Disneyfied, the town is still all about gambling, booze and hookers.

Super Mario

Any male, would be super stud who acts out his after hours life as if he were a character in a game. Get high, get drunk, get laid, get in fights, jump over it all and begin again. Tomorrow, it's back to fixing drains or whatever it is you do.
Opie: Oh shit, there goes this evening. Larry just came in.
Jimmy: No man, it's fun to watch this Super Mario go through his act. Look he's already hitting on that girl at the bar while her boyfriend is watching the Yankees.

bogart

Humphrey Bogart smoked all those cigarettes. He died from lung cancer. When you hang onto a joint and let it burn without sharing, you look like Bogart with his perennial smoke dangling from his lips. The term had no popularity until it became a hit song in the 1970's.
Don't Bogart That Joint
Lyrics: Lawrence Wagner
Music: Elliot Ingber

Played by Little Feat's Paul Barrere and Bill Payne with Phil & Friends. The original verson (on the soundtrack of "Easy Rider") was by Fraternity Of Man. It was subsequently covered by Little Feat.

Chorus
Don't bogart that joint my friend
Pass it over to me
Don't bogart that joint my friend
Pass it over to me

Roll another one
Just like the other one
You've been holding on to it
And I sure will like a hit

chorus

Roll another one
Just like the other one
That one's burned to the end
Come on and be a real friend

chorus

C'est la guerre

Literally: "It's the war!"

This French phrase of resignation gained widespread use during World War II. It provided the universal excuse for everything that was broken, no longer functioned, was unavailable or could not be accomplished. It also explained away all unusual behavior. That it is in the language of a nation whose life and joie de vivre was being crushed by an occupational army gives it an aroused sensibility.

The phrase lingered into European reconstruction and then into modern times in all nations. It is spoken with a wry acknowledgement of its former literal meaning even though it may currently describe any other interfering force preventing accomplishment of a task, even laziness.
Jacques: "Renee gave herself to some soldiers for a bar of chocolate and a pair of silk stockings. What a slut!"
Pierre: "No, no, she's a good girl. C'est la guerre!"

Howard: "Traffic has become so tied up every day that I have to allow an additional hour to get to the city."
Jimmy: "That's life in the big city, C'est la guerre."

postgame

Women keep their sexual activity going after an orgasm and are usually still ready for more. Men literally empty themselves through ejaculation and feel washed out, sleepy, or interested in anything but sex, at least for 20 minutes.

A guy who can keep going, who, even though he has a spent and flaccid penis, is willing to orally pleasure his woman and stay the course, is a postgame hero.
Leave me alone bitch, I ain't no postgame pussy lapper. Where's the remote?

twisting off

Drinking Beer. Gone are the days of the church key (opener). Most beer bottles use twist-off caps for your convenience in getting to the brew without a fuss.
Just hangin' at the bar, twisting off a few long-necks, and watchin' the game.

throw to the wolves

When the wolf is at your door, such as: the IRS, the cops, or your bookie's leg-breaker, you will want to suggest an alternate target, such as: your partner, your dealer or another patsy who can take your punishment instead of you. Sometimes whole groups will find a fall guy to cover their crimes.
Throw to the wolves:
Once the triangulation of fire cut down the president, the FBI threw Oswald to the wolves.
