eighty-six

to eighty-six a pregnancy is to medically terminate it, taken from the name of the "abortion drug" RU-486.

A woman might eighty-six a fetus in the earliest weeks of being pregnant, with the help of a health care provider who can administer a brief series of oral dosages.

Eighty-sixing is normally done only up until a point when a pregnancy is so far along that a surgical procedure is needed in order to abort.
Jenny: I just came up positive on this pregnancy test. It was just a one night stand. I'm gonna eighty-six it.

Eric: Yo, Kevin. You're lucky Jenny eight-six'd it after your fling at the lake last summer. Otherwise you would've been stuck paying child support.

song selling

Song selling takes place when a singer-songwriter earns money in exchange for the rights to use his or her original music, often to a (more) famous, or up-and-coming, recording artist.

If a singer-songwriter has written a catchy song but seems to fall short on vocal or instrumental ability, a listener might say, "you should sell your song." Hearing this can be extremely disheartening for singer-songwriters, especially those who are still developing their talents, or have not yet enjoyed their fifteen minutes of fame.
Why does song selling even exist? Any band or singer who is worth their weight can write their own songs.

TGE

abbreviation for 'truly gay environment.' A city, town or other general area where any and all sexual preferences are celebrated and encouraged, though not necessarily gay. For example, a person who spends enough time in a TGE such as the Castro District of San Francisco or Greenwich Village in New York will have a fuller opportunity to explore and understand his or her true sexual orientation than someone who lives in an environment where heterosexuality is the one preferred norm.
While San Francisco is thought of as being an ultimate TGE, as recent as the late 1970s it was a struggle for the city to elect its first gay mayor.
