a slogan used by antiwar protestors to denounce wars fought in lands where oil is abundant and other countries have business interests at.
1. In 1991 I saw bumper stickers protesting the first Gulf war. They said "Troops out now! No blood for oil."
2. When American and foreign troops were in Somalia obstensibly on a food drive and "nation building" exercise some people protested by stickers and T-shirts also saying "No blood for oil" because the pre-anarchy Somalian port of Mogadishu was believed to be once a stopover and replenishment place for oil tankers.
3. America is at war in Iraq once again and the phrase is being used once again: NO BLOOD FOR OIL!

Get the pocket pool mug.a term used by Muslims to describe adherents of other faiths who worship the same God as they do. Specifically this means people of monotheistic beliefs like Christianity and Judaism.
The Quran says that Christians and Jews are to be respected being that they are people of the book because all three religions share the same deity and the same Abrahamic traditions, such as the Ten Commandments.

Get the People of the Book mug.1. a 1980 number one hit for the R&B/funk/post-discogroup Lipps,Inc. (pronounced "lip synch" - yes, that's how U say it). They were basically a one hit wonder.
2. a Top 10 hit in 1987 for the Australian New Wave group Pseudo Echo. It has a harder-edged sound than the original seven years before. A genuine butt kicker. Pseudo Echo also scored a hit with their own "Living in a Dream" earlier in 1987.
3. because of their playing the Pseudo Echo hit, San Francisco radio stations gave the nickname "Funky Town" to their city itself.

Get the Funky Town mug.the Southern U.S. counterpart to what is called White Castle in the Midwest and other regions like New Jersey. Like White Castle restaurants Krystal burger shacks are open 24 hours and the burgers (also called "slyders" because of their extreme greasiness) are cheap. You can get them in a bag of 10. They are square and have holes and are sometimes nicknamed "belly bombs" just like they are in the Northern U.S.
I was with some friends in Mike's Volvo and we were cruising around Orlando, Florida listening to some heavy metal music one night. Mike had on a Triumph tape in the player, later we had on some Van Halen. We stopped at a Krystal burger joint and got some root beers and a bag of 10 slyders. Me and Freddy ate most of them in the back seat of the car, the grease was just dripping from the little slyders. After about 40 minutes or so me and Freddy asked Mike to pull over and stop. Me and Freddy got out of the car and went to the edge of a ditch. It was Barf City for us. It was all too much.

Get the Krystal mug.a term used by critics to describe the bland, generic, formulaic, assembly line, manufactured male country music performers that have dominated country radio for at least the past 10 years. They are notorious for their 30-gallon hats. It's a real challenge to tell these performers and their songs apart.
