The Boulevard 

This definition dating from the jazz age is a major street where all the action is. People would wear their sunday best when going out on the boulevard. Usually, the boulevard had fine restaurants and nightclubs on it.

Let's go out and out on the boulevard.

Life is never as good as it is on the boulevard.

Good Neighbor 

A neighbor who does things that are very bad for the neighborhood. Such as living in the city and have farm animals or cutting down a tree in a way as to have the tree fall into someone else yard and then having the person whose yard it fell into responsible for removal of the tree.

Good Neighbor just got some chickens to go along with the goats.

The sherriff went to talk to Good Neighbor about his tree in my yard. He said he isn't going to do a thing about it and the sherriff can't do a thing.

slushing 

Since the 1970s, this was driving a car with wide tires in the centerlane after a snow storm. The centerlane was usually not plowed. This resulted in slush being sprayed into the oncoming traffic.

We went slushing in the delta last night.

I tried going slushing in a honda but the tires weren't wide enough to do any good.

Five Points 

This nickname from at least the 1960's for the intersection of Calumet Ave, Indianapolis Blvd and 114th St in Whiting, Indiana. The reason for the nickname is there are five intersections meeting at that point.

There was another shooting down at the bar by Five Points.

I wrecked the Delta when I spun out and hit the fence down at Five Points.
