Spunky Orangutan
n. A mixed drink, similar in taste to a mudslide, but with remarkable marchino cherry tones, even though it has no marchino cherries. Very tasty! Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
2 shots Bailey's Irish Cream
1 shot Amaretto
1/2 cup Half-and-half
6 Ice cubes
Mixing instructions:
Add above ingrediants in a blender. Blend on high until the ice is crushed. Serve in a cocktail glass. No garnish.
A variation of the drink is called the Spunky Monkey. For those who don't like cherry at all, but do like coffee, replace the Bailey's Irish Cream with Kahlua. Also very tasty!

Spunky Monkey
n. A mixed drink, similar in taste to a mudslide, but with definite coffee tones. Very tasty! Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
2 shots Kahlua
1 shot Amaretto
1/2 cup Half-and-half
6 Ice cubes
Mixing instructions:
Add above ingrediants in a blender. Blend on high until the ice is crushed. Serve in a cocktail glass. No garnish.
A variation of the drink is called the Spunky Orangutan. For those who don't like coffee at all, replace the Kahlua with Bailey's Irish Cream. While chocolatey and without coffee bitterness of the Spunky Monkey, it also has an amazing hint of marchino cherry. Also very tasty!

Downy Oshun
n. In Baltimoron, this refers to Ocean City, MD, and would be literally translated as "down to the ocean." Ocean City, MD is a very popular vacation destination, and a source of much regional culture. For example, 19th Street is named "Johnny Unitas Way," honoring the great Baltimore Colts quarterback of the 1960s and 1970s, who wore the number 19.
Doen'cha knoe, hon, we wint downy oshun, but't took frevr t'git uvr dat dang Baybrij!
Translation: My friend of the opposite sex, we traveled to Ocean City, MD, but it took an exasperatingly inordinate amount of time to cross the Chesapeake Bay using the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Note: Traffic for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge can be backed up for 15 miles on summer weekends.

Baybrij
n. In Baltimoron, this refers to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge is where US 50 crosses the Chesapeake Bay from Annapolis MD (at Sandy Point) to Kent Island MD. This bridge is not the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is about 120 miles to the south of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel crosses the bay from the tip of the Delmarva peninsula to Norfolk VA. For most Marylanders (who don't live on the Eastern Shore), the Chesapeake Bay Bridge is the only practical way to go downy oshun (to Ocean City, MD). This means that bridge traffic can be backed up from 10 to 15 miles during the summer, much to the consternation of many Marylanders.
Jeez Louise! Dat dang Baybrij's bakd up da hoe way ta I-97 agin!
Translation: Golly (or other expression of exasperation)! That damnable Chesapeake Bay Bridge is backed up once again from the toll plaza at Sandy Point all the way to the intersection of US 50 and Interstate 97!
Note: This is a distance of approximately 12 miles.

Balamer
n. In Baltimoron, this is the "home city" of Baltimore. While this is the usual spelling for the word, a more correctly phonetic spelling would be "Bawlamer." (Those of you in the Mid-West might pronounce the first "a" as a short a, and that would be incorrect.) Baltimore is frequently shortened further to "Balmer." Again, this is the accepted spelling, but a more correctly phonetic spelling would be "Bawlmer."
"Doen'cha knoe, I'm from Balamer,
'n' crabs is whut I'm eechin' feur!
Doen'cha knoe, Santa dear,
With sum cold crabs 'nd a beer,
It would be jus like a trip back to old Bal-tee-more,
Baaaaal-teeee-mooore!"
-- David DeBoy, 'Crabs For Christmas'

Reverend Green
n. Common reference to the great soul singer Al Green, whose greatest hit was "Let's Stay Together." It was in the early 1970s that Green san a run of hits that made him not just an R&B star but a pop icon. Since 1976, Green has concentrated on gospel music, recording numerous albums, but only two pop offerings. Since 1979, he has led his Baptist congregation, the Full Gospel Tabernacle, in Memphis, Tenn. For his release in 2007, "Everything’s OK," Green embraces both worlds by releasing a "secular" album under the name The Reverend Al Green.
"I wanted to put on this album who I am—to 'fess up to it! I'm the Reverend Al Green, and everybody calls me that, from Argentina all the way to the Catskills. So that's who I am."
"They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But you got a prayer in Memphis"
-- Marc Cohn, 'Walking in Memphis'

Whiskey Foxtrot Whiskey
interjection.
1) An empahtic response to someone's abject whining (and crying), usually about tasks that someone is required to do, with the implication that the whiner is an punky, slacker, immature, lazy-assed, cry-baby. The words are radio phonetics for the letters W-F-W, and in this case the letters stand for, "Whaaa Fuckin' Whaaa," hence an emphatic declaration of an abject lack of characer. This also shows that its origin is in the military. A less emphatic expression is simply "Whaaa!"
2) Can also be the response to abject whining (and crying) regarding how hard someone's life is, when in reality they are quite coddled and and their lives are almost excessively comfortable, and the expression indicates how the whiner is an ingratious, cowardly, punky, slacker, immature, lazy-assed, cry-baby.

Punky, Slacker, Immature, Lazy-assed Crybaby: Aww, how come I have to (do my homwork, take out the garbage, clean my room, get up for field day, stop the ship from flooding)? I'm tired and I don't feel good...
Ingratious, Cowardly, Punky, Slacker, Immature, Lazy-assed, Cry-baby: Aww, how come you won't get me a Lamborghini Diablo?
Person in authority: Whiskey Foxtrot Whiskey, dildo!
