crack pipe 

what people tell you to put down, when you say something stupid.
Stupid Person: How many calories does water have?

Me: Put down the crack pipe. It doesn't have any, it's water.
a now obsolete adjective popular as a business buzzword among yuppies in the early eighties. It described a worker who was very smart and very fast-paced.

This meaning of "crack" was forced out by the drug, crack, in the mid-eighties. Sort of like you can't say "gay" to mean "happy" anymore.
That was a good move to hire him; he's crack.

stankbones 

the part of one that tingles when one is getting near one's prey. (possibly the hindquarters, thus the stink-related name - stankbones).

Popularized by Cletus, the slack-jawed redneck on "The Simpsons."
Cletus: We're a-gettin close now! I can feel it in my stankbones!

Budd Dwyer 

to commit suicide on television (like the Pennsylvania Treasurer, Budd Dwyer.
The television station would not air the interview live, becuase the subject was facing ruination, and they feared he could pull a Budd Dwyer.
The "at" smybol; you know, this thing: @
The domain name of an email address is the part after the atpersand.
a white suprecemacist leader that George Costanza impersonated to get a free ride in a limo. George's lie nearly cost him his life, as he faced being torn limb-from-limb by an angry mob, or being shot by angry neo-Nazi's.

We're not sure how he got out of this dilemma, as the show ended with him still in grave danger, but he seemed okay in the next episode.
George: I am not O'Brien! I am not O'Brien! I'm not O'Brien!

Cumberland Island

an island off the coast of Georgia (USA, not the former Soviet republic)

Simply put, it is the most beautiful place on earth.

And no, I don't live there (but wish I did). Only a few people live there, most of it is national seashore. The rest of the dry land is forest of huge old oaks with animals running around. And wild horses running wild on the beach.

Very few people live there. It's mostly federal land and they allow only 300 peeps in at a time.
