yoko
Avante garde conceptual artist who added a political, earth-loving edge to the music of a Beatle she married, giving up her personal fame, until his assasination, when she grieved with all of us through music, and eventually re-emerged into art "in her own write", and as his loving, loyal archivist. One who does not compromise her integrity, who loves eternally, who is a sister always.
North Dallas Special
An oversized tract house, typically with a hipped roof, cathedral ceilings, 3 or more full baths, and attached two-car garage. Term of derision, derived from the kind of houses found in the area north of Dallas, now generalized to the rest of the country. Similar to McMansion.

East Flatbush
Neighborhood in north-central Brooklyn. Once a lower middle class Jewish neighborhood, now predominately West Indian, meaning Jamaican, Haitian, and Trinidadian. While sometimes labeled "thriving" and "energetic" because of its immigrant population, it's really one of New York City's worst neighborhoods, being both dirty and dangerous.
