Borg

A Jehovah's Witness. Term employed by ex-Jehovah's Witnesses as a pejorative for a practicing JW, or to refer to the entire JW organization in a negative way. Derived from "Bible Organization," which the Jehovah's Witnesses purport to be, rather than a "religion," per se.

Ever since I got kicked out of the JWs, I dread running into a Borg I used to know on the street.

side meat

Slabs of meat taken specifically from the sides of a pig, practically a staple in the deep south. May be smoked and cured, in which case it becomes known as bacon, or salted, in which case it is known as salt pork. Sometimes referred to as "side pork," as well, it is an indispensable ingredient for the southern dish of boiled greens.

"Side meat" was mentioned numerous times in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," a story of an Oklahoma family who left home during the Dustbowl years to work in the fruit picking industry in California.

Fry up that side meat, ma - I'm starvin'!

neanderthal

Primitive humans which lived throughout much of Europe, but particulary in France, and Germany. The term "Neanderthal," derives from the Neanderthal Valley in Germany, where the first fossils were found. Anatomically, they differed from their chief competitors, Cro-Magnon man in that they tended to be more squat, with thicker bones, and brow ridges. They existed through hunter-gathering activities, as did the Cro-Magnon, but seem to have been less technologically innovative, a quality which may have contributed to their ultimate demise.

How many Neanderthals died in encounters with wooly mammoths is anyone's guess.
