hair of the dog

An alcoholic beverage consumed as a hangover rememdy. The phrase comes from the expression "hair of the dog that bit you", meaning that the best cure for what ails you is to have some more of it. In ancient times it was literally used to say that if a dog were to bite you, putting the dog's hair into the wound would heal it. "Like cures like". This hangover remedy is not recommended because a) it leads to a bad habit of drinking during the day and b)it doesn't really work very well. Still, this method works about as well as most other hangover remedies.

Steve: Why not, man. We got a few beers left in the fridge.

bitz

This is another way of saying bitch when it isn't intended to be quite as offensive. Bitz is said in reference to someone in either a joking manner or when one is afraid to actually say bitch. You are less likely to offend or piss off someone this way.

Banda

Banda

Banda ("band") refers to the form of music played by large brass ensembles that first appeared in the northern Mexican state of Sinaloa several decades ago by German immigrants. Similar to Polka, a typical banda ensemble features trumpets, trombones, tubas, accordians and percussion instruments, and may include keyboards. String instruments are used sparingly, if at all. Banda sounds somewhat similar to American Big Band music, but with a distinctive Mexican twist. It's loved by pollos, paisas, mojados,frijoleros,tijuaneros,borrachos, wetbacks and beaners everywhere.
