Manch-Vegas

Alternative name for the city of Manchester, New Hampshire, USA. The word was coined by combining the first part of "Manchester" with the second word in "Las Vegas," juxtaposing Las Vegas's glitz and glamor with Manchester's lack of either. Used derisively.

"So are we going out tonight?"
"We live in Manch-Vegas. The hottest spot open this late is Wal-Mart."

Pixy Stix

Colored sugar powder sold by Willy Wonka in thin paper tubes. When ingested, it quickly produces an intense sugar high, and so is sometimes called "cocaine for kids."

I once ate 25 Pixy Stix in under a minute. My hands were still shaking an hour later.

Duck Tape

Common mispronunciation of Duct Tape. The duck pictured on the label apparently contributes to the confusion over the name.

"Duck tape can fix anything!"
"Except your inability to pronounce the 't' at the end of 'duct.'"

fair-weather friend

A friend who is only a friend when circumstances are pleasant or profitable. At the first sign of trouble, these capricious, disloyal friends will drop their relationship with you.

I had thought Ted would stand by me when I was accused of theft, but it turned out he was only a fair-weather friend.

sugar high

The high one gets after consuming large amounts of sugar. Also called a "sugar rush." Sugar highs cause twitchiness, spasms, and hyper excitability. Sugar highs do not last very long, and leave a person feeling drained afterwards.

I spent the week after Halloween in a continual sugar high.
