A chinger is a telephone fraud device that mimics the frequency made by a pay telephone when money was dropped into it. Putting money in the coin slot caused a DTMF or Dual Tone Multi Frequency signal to be sent out to the central switching box which registered it and when enough money had been inserted into the phone would connect the call. The chinger could mimic that sound and thus produce the equivalent effect of dropping a quarter into the pay phone.
So basically, a chinger allowed the user to make unlimited free calls from certain pay phones. They could be made using a simple pocket electronic address book sold at Radio Shack, and replacing the chip inside to alter the output sound.
They were also known as "red boxes" but the name chinger probably referred to the chiming sound it made when mimicing a quarter drop.
Most modern pay phones no longer use the DTMF tones, rendering the chinger obsolete... but it was fun while it lasted!

Get the Indigo Child mug.Some new-age bullshit interpretation of the Mayan calendar by a nit-wit named Jose Arguellas who thinks he's an incarnation of an ancient Mayan prophet or some shit. Basically he has a bunch of ignorant hippies thinking that the Mayans were cosmic alien galactic travelers and that the end of the world is coming in 2012. *sigh* When will people learn?
Hippie #1) What is your Dreamspell galactic signature?
Hippie #2) Blue Magnetic Eagle
Skeptic #1) Hey you air heads - you realize the Mayans never used that new age mumbo-jumbo terminology right?

Get the Dreamspell mug.To have sex with a woman so soon after she fucked someone else that there's still cum inside her. Kinda like sloppy seconds.
You mean to tell me you had sex with Julia Friday afternoon? Awww man - I guess I was stirring the vanilla later that evening.

Get the Stirring the Vanilla mug.The point of this entry should really be this: That the word "Cannabis" is not slang at all. Instead it is the accepted botanical Genus name for the plant we know by so many other slang and colloquial terms: Hemp, Pot, Marijuana, Ganja, Weed, etc. etc. (Cannabis sps. sativa, indica, and ruderalis.)
Let the word Cannabis remind us that this indigenous herb, which the self-destructive dominator culture feels it needs to persecute so much, is in fact one of the many gifts from the abundant Earth... as natural as the clouds, the rain, the corn in the fields and all the many fruits of our gracious intelligent, and loving planet, Gaia.
Show your support: Give a thumbs up and let the readers know that you feel the same way. Let's make this entry a social and political statement. =)

These here fields were planted with Cannabis during the Second World War to provide cheap, sustainable fiber.

Get the Cannabis mug.He's the man who unwittingly saved America during the Coronavirus outbreak of 2020.
The show Tiger King, which was about him and his exotic animal zoo in Oklahoma, aired on Netflix at the same time everyone was quarantined with COVID-19.
The show depicts the only thing more batshit crazy in America than the outbreak itself, thus giving Americans a sense of hope and normalcy.
As such, it became the main source of entertainment for many, and a major subject of social media discussions during the shutdown.

Get the Joe Exotic mug.The act of being seen with the wrong person at the wrong time in a very public place - typically exposing an affair.
Comes from the moment at a Coldplay concert in July, 2025 where Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and CPO Kristin Cabot were caught cuddling on the Jumbotron "kiss cam" but immediately ducked and hid their faces, prompting Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to say, "either they're having an affair or are really shy."
They WERE having an affair, and both of their lives blew up.
