dry heat

A stupid statement made by old-timers, when someone complains that it's hotter than hell outside, implying that low humidity makes extremely high temperatures easier to tolerate.

Joe: 114 degrees! Jesus, that's HOT!

Schmoe: Yeah, but it's a dry heat.

intercourse

Verbal communication between two people. Rarely used any longer in this sense because of the North American singular preoccupation with sex; it would evoke snickers at best, and gross misunderstanding at worst, in virtually any situation.

Our intercourse over lunch was less than pleasant, and we spent the rest of the day not speaking to each other.

warehouse

A mental institution. The term was inspired by the sad state of the mental health "industry" in the United states.

The lawyer closed his briefcase, and sighed. "90 days in the warehouse for Billy, and then back onto the streets he goes, with a month's worth of thorazine and $100, courtesy of the state."

woodshed

An allusion to being corporally punished, where the victim would be sent to the woodshed to await his punisher. The woodshed was a popular location, because it was remote from the rest of the family, and there was abundant material there for fashioning a paddle or a switch.

Get to the woodshed boy - your pa is gonna tan your hide when he gets home from the mill.

Idaho Spud

1. A backwards resident of the state of Idaho, which is known for producing potatoes, i.e., the famous "Idaho Spud."

2.)A candy bar comprised of chocolate flavored marshmallow covered in chocolate and coconut sprinkles, which superficially resembles a potato.

He was an Idaho Spud, to be sure, right down the grimy baseball hat emblazoned with the John Deere logo, and believe it or not, he was buying an entire box of Idaho Spuds. Which might explain the black stumps of his teeth.
