Glenn was a serious Nascar fan, and he even had a tattered coozy with Dale Earnhardt Jr's number on it to prove it.

Tab Out

"Tab Out" is a term commonly used in nightclubs and bars that a patron and/or server uses to indicate that it's time to pay the tab (the bill).

This is not to be confused with the term pay up, but it is similar to settle up and pay out.

Hey Bill, I'm gonna tab out after I have one more shot of Jaeger.

Yaderhey

A word used in Wisconsin, Michigan and surrounding areas that translates to "Yes," or, "Yes, I agree." It is similar to "ya know hey."

Yaderhey is thought to be the opposite of a phrase derived from Bob and Doug McKenzie in the movie Stange Brew, "No way, eh." You would then replay, "Yaderhey."

Bob: Hey man, that was a hot chicky last night at the ho-down, eh?

Doug: Yaderhey!

duck

The term "duck," as often used in the game of pocket billiards (or pool), represents an object ball that is directly in front of a pocket (one that is typically easy to make, or nearly impossible to miss).

These types of balls are referred to as "ducks" because they are "as easy to shoot as a duck."

I played the shot a little too softly, but at least it left me with a duck for my next shot.
