coulee 

A dry canyon eroded by Pleistocene floods that cut into the lava beds of the Columbia Plateau in the western United States, the walls of which may resemble the Mesas common to the U.S. desert southwest. Grand Coulee Dam, in Eastern Washington, once the largest dam in the world, is named after the "Grand Coulee" which stands nearby.

If you ever visit Grand Coulee Dam, stay overnight in Electric City and be sure to catch the colored lightshow on the spillways after dark.

locker room 

Older slang term for Amyl or Butyl nitrate, which used to be sold in sex shops, so-named probably because some people find the chemical has an odor slightly akin to dirty socks. Also called "rush" or "popper." The chemical causes a sudden and dramatic expansion of the blood vessels, creating an intense rush, often followed by a feeling of light-headedness. Often used at raves, and in dancehalls/discos. Very popular with gay men, to increase the intensity of the orgasm. Amyl or Butyl nitrate used in conjunction with drugs intended to correct erectile dysfunction (e.g., Viagra) is potentially fatal.

Amyl nitrate by inhalation (in appropriate quantities, and administered by a physician) acts as an antidote for cyanide poisoning, by causing the body to produce methemoglobin which combines with the cyanide to form nontoxic cyanmethemoglobin.

Man, no way was I gonna toke on that weed - Joey soaked it in locker room.
