Frank Rider's definitions
Rain Dogs was released in 1985, becoming the eighth in Tom Waits' expanding discography. He had reverted back to his old self a little, in songs like Blind Love and Time. His voice had smoothed over a bit, but he still grasped his dark side, presenting evil little gems like Clap Hands and Jockey Full Of Bourbon. The title track is about being a person of the street, forgoing umbrellas and taxis for the rain and freedom.
An excerpt from Rain Dogs'
Diamonds & Gold
Some men will do it for diamonds
Some men will do it for gold
Wounded but they just keep on climbing
Sleep by the side of the road
There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb
Mad as a hatter, you're thin as a dime
Go out to the meadow, the hills are a-green
Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream

Get the Toad Suckermug. 1. The second song on Tom Waits' 2004 album, Real Gone.
2. A sentiment based on the lyrics and tone of that song. To tell some one to 'Hoist That Rag' is to tell them that life is shit, but to stick it out.

Get the Hoist That Ragmug. The not so ingenious way of saying Shit and Fuck together. However, it is not considered a swear , so it is OK in public, if you put more emphasis on SHI than FUCK! It can be a Safe For Work shitplitive.
Shifuck that hurt!

Get the Shifuckmug. In a sense taken from the music of Tom Waits, a vine is a man's life, and more specifically, his love life.
If one were to listen to the song Another Man's Vine, a song of envy and infidelity, you would hear that a man's lover is a rose on his vine, and when she is unfaithful...Another man picks that rose.

An excerpt from Another Man's Vine,
From the album Blood Money,
By Tom Waits-
"Golden Willie's gone to war
He left his young wife on the shore
Will she be steadfast everyday?
While Golden Willie's far away
Along the way her letters end
She never reads what Willie sends
I see a red rose
I smell a red rose
Red rose blooming
On another man's vine"

1. (n) Can be a kid from birth to 10 that follows current clothing, music, and television trends.
2. (v) Someone who forces all of the current trends upon their children or the children around them.
They will be idiots when they grow up, and they will have no real culture of their own.
