Dennis The Tiger's definitions

used bread store

Notional name for bakery outlet stores (such as what are run by Weber and Orowheat) that sell products at discount rates.

Origin is obscure, but probably comes by analogy that something that's previously used is a lot cheaper than something that's new.

Usage is considered silly.

We picked up food at the used bread store for half the price we would've paid at the grocery store!

Stank

See also Put the Stank Out.

Steve WInwood is probably the only white guy I know about who can make a Hammond organ stank.

2) The act of intentionally falling over sideways, usually as done by a cat.

Note, both definitions apply to all manner of cats, from tigers to sand cats.

izetize

To create a verb by improperly suffixing a noun with '-ize' (or '-ise' for European spelling). The method by which words such as 'monetize', 'securitize', and even 'legalize' are created. A practice generally frowned upon by linguists and geeks.

Created as sort of a self-parody of this formation.

The CEO of the megacorp had the geeks enthralled until he started izetizing his nouns to get his power verbs.

Dubya

1) The written representation of the letter W, as might be pronounced with a southern drawl.

2) The nickname for George W.Bush, the 43rd president of the United States of America. Derived from his accent - see 1, above.

If the 23rd letter of the alphabet is "dubya", you might be a redneck.

bone

Also...

1) Dice. Note that this sense is never used singularly - you never roll "a bone", you roll "the bones". Origin unclear - but I suspect it has something to do with certain voodoo in which a practicer would cast bones for fortune telling.

2) Monetary units, usually US dollars. Used for high numbers generally. Origin again unclear here, but possibly alludes to an arm and a leg.

2) Dude, that designer shirt is gonna cost you fifty bones.
