drag through the garden 

A food item, all decked out with all the little goodies, deluxe style. Usually meaning vegetables, but not necessarily so. The opposite of plain. Frequently something that has been dragged through the garden has so much other stuff on it that the original or basic item is burried and lost. Sometimes used for a fast food "vegetarian" hamburger that consists of a bun, condiments and everything else - but no meat.

Usually used to mean adding all available items, especially with a hamburger, pizza or omelette. A hamburger with onion or a slice of tomato isn't dragged through the garden. A hamburger with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, mushrooms, olives, green peppers and sprouts is.

"You want cheese on that hamburger?"

"Give me cheese and drag through the garden!"

---
I ordered a cheese omelette, but this is a drag through the garden special.

pickle fork 

Automotive: A tool commonly used for breaking the tapers loose on ball joints and tie rod ends. Sometimes called an olive fork. They are correctly called a "Ball Joint Separator" or "Tie Rod Separator" but have gained the name from their resemblence to the long, skinny forks used to remove pickles (or olives) from a jar.

The term can be used for a variety of items, anything much longer than it is wide, with two prongs on one end and some sort of handle on the other.

"I need to replace a tie rod end on my car but I don't have a pickle fork. "

or

"Any ideas how I can separate these flanges?"

"Have you tried a pickle fork?"

"No, great idea!"

woofa gas 

Originally an urban contractaction for "...worth of gas", it has since come to mean a gas station that does not accept credit cards for "pay at the pump" transactions, you must go in to pay for it. Many (not all) woofa gas stations are cash only, no credit cards accepted at all. Most gas stations that accept credit cards allow you to pay at the pump. Most woofa gas stations are generic independents, not showing any brand name.

Original meaning: "Give me five bucks woofa gas."
Current meaning: "I can't get gas there - I don't have any cash on me and that place is woofa gas."

chicken head 

An old (but still common) style of a knob that is used mostly in industrial applications and guitar amplifiers. It looks like a long narrow triangle over a round skirt, and looking from the side it curves down at the point. From the side it resembles the head of a chicken.

Those chicken heads really dress up your amp.
