ratfuck

Politics: Formerly known as "the double-cross," it refers to infiltration and sabotage of the opposition party, particuarly during (but not limited to) an election campaign. The second half of "All the President's Men" describes ratfucking done to 1972 Democratic presidential candidates by employees of the Committee to Re-Elect Nixon.

Ken Clawson, Nixon's communications director, confessed to a ratfuck when he told how he forged a letter making it look like a Democratic candidate was a racist.

A typical ratfuck is to falsely claim there's a political rally for the opposition party, order 300 pizzas for delivery in the name of the party, and then nobody shows up.

fanservice

As stated above, "fanservice" came from Japanese anime, film, and music culture. Its definition is spreading to include any unnecessary visuals included simply because the fans, presumably, want to see them. Gratuitous nudity, male or female, but also shots of cute mascot animals (e.g., Chuchu the mouse in "Utena").

Jay (watching a Chinese wuxia film): They just spent ten minutes showing us Alec Su taking a bath.

honey slide

1. A confection made with honey and LSD. Abbie Hoffman referred to it simply as Honey in one of his books.

2. A confection made with honey and marijuana fried together.

1 heaping teaspoon of marijuana.
2 or 3 tablespoons of honey.
Put grass in a dry frying pan. Fry the grass over a low to medium fire for about five minutes, stirring it to be sure it doesn't burn. It is done when it begins to turn brown and wisps of smoke appear. Heat the honey (Important). While the honey is still warm, add the fried grass and mix it well. The honey completely coats the grass, and when you eat it it just slides down your throat. Serves one.

During a concert in the mid 70s, Neil Young told how he made his voice deeper by eating honey slides, and gave the recipe.

battle_axe

A middle-aged or elderly female of unpleasant disposition. Used most often to describe a boss or relative you don't like.

Oh, I can't play golf with you this afternoon. My wife's mother is coming over -- and I've got to try to be nice to the old battle axe!

or:

Mrs. Maloney's keeping the whole department working this weekend and says no one can take vacation time until these orders are processed -- the old battle axe!

I and I

Also means "I, with God's help" or "I, with God-in-me". Often used in place of "me". Because the people's Identity was destroyed in slavery, Identity is very important in RastafarI -- so I gets capitalIzed a lot. They pronounce the I's strongly in reggae songs. Emperor Haile Selassie I is not "the First" but "Haile Selassie *I*."

I and I build the cabin
I and I plant the corn
Didn't my people before me
slave for this country?

Conan the Barbarian

The hero of a series of short stories, novellas and one novel by pulp fiction author Robert E. Howard (1906-1936). Conan is a wandering swordsman whose travels take him into improbable adventures with scheming wizards and lusty wenches. The stories take place on Earth, in pre-Atlantean times. These stories pretty much gave birth to the term sword and sorcery for a certain kind of fantasy tale. Learn more about Howard at rehoward.com.

"I was born in the Cimmerian hills where the people are all barbarians. I have been a mercenary soldier, a corsair, a kozak, and a hundred other things. What king has roamed the countries, fought the battles, loved the women, and won the plunder that I have?"
