nomokashe

A Japanese omakase (tasting) menu that is so expensive that the diner runs out of money paying for it -- "no more cash!"

Hurt me, I took the client out to his favorite Japanese place in Manhattan and he insisted on the $600 per person tasting menu -- a classic nomokashe event.

hunk rock

A contraction of "humorous punk rock," a musical genre comprising punk rock works intended as parodies of the actual punk oeuvre, which originated with Paloma Music's 1978 release of the vinyl 45 recording "Picked Off the Litter" by John Vomit and the Leather Scabs, a band formed by members of the Stanford Chaparral campus humor magazine, featuring the songs "Punk Rock Star" and "I Suck."

Unbelievable, I just scored a mint-condition copy of the original Hunk Rock record, "Picked Off the Litter," on eBay for only a thousand bucks!

Father Mike is quite the missal monger, he really had folks fired up with that service on Sunday.

In 'N' Out Drive-Thru

Medical vernacular for a colonoscopy (colon) and an upper endoscopy (stomach) performed in one visit to the doctor -- aka the "spit roast."

My gastroenterologist thought it would be a good idea to check both my stomach and my colon, so I had to go in for an In 'N' Out Drive-Thru last week. Came back clean. Are you overdue for yours?

shysterectomy

The firing or disqualification of an unethical lawyer by a client or a court of law.

“My cousin found out the lawyer he hired for his car accident already had a handshake deal with the other driver’s insurer to settle his claim for $50k, and then suggested that they do a contingent fee that would pay him 40%. We got him an emergency shysterectomy, and the new guy charged him only $500 to document the settlement.”

Do a Churchill

To persevere relentlessly and never quit. From Winston Churchill's famous speech at Harrow School in the darkest days of World War II, in which he said: "Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in."

Hon, I know you've missed qualifying for the Boston Marathon four times, but you're only four minutes away. Time to do a Churchill, sign up for Los Angeles next winter, and get your ten miles in today.
