big beaver

Big Beaver is the actual name of a road (sometimes called "16 Mile") in Detroit, Michigan. The ironic part is that along I-75, the road is Exit 69.

Dude, you're gonna miss the exit onto Big Beaver! How can you forget it's number 69?

gauging

The process of stretching a person's piercings from one gauge to a higher gauge.

Common gauging movements are from 8g to 6g, 2g to 0g and 1/2"g to 5/8"g.

Gauging too fast can cause tearing or a blowout.

I tore my ear the other day while gauging from a 4g to a 0g.

Detroit River
