Typically used when they get rid of someone in a hurry as opposed to a long, drawn out legal process. Being forcibly removed from a job or home by the police or being ordered out.

Sometimes old fuds will even refer to themselves as old fuds, as if to say "I didn't die before I got old!"

A (usually) antique item, such as a clock, radio, sewing machine, spinning wheel, tool,car parts, etc, that may or may not work, kept strictly as a display item. More often than not the item does not work but the owner has no intention of repairing it, it just sits there.

Most woofa gas stations are generic independents, not showing any brand name.
