Shaka zulu

All over town or all over a large geographic area, or a distant location. Used the same way people use driving to or all over timbuktu

I done had to drive all over Shaka Zulu to find the things I needed for....
That doctor I had to see is all the way out to Shaka Zulu.
I love just driving all around Shaka Zulu with no destination, just enjoying the open road and the scenery.

a time or two

Loosely means once or twice. Also expressed as a time or 3, a time or 4. It means that something done happened at least once but could have happened a few, but not many times. Its kind of similar to saying a couple, with couple literally being 2 but it may be 3 or 4, but not many

I've done done that a time or two

Normie

Chiefly an Alcoholics Anonymous expression. A person who does not have a drinking problem. Either they can drink in moderation and never drink in excess or they choose to be teetotalers without having ever developed a drinking problem themselves.

I cannot see how a normie can just stop at one beer.

Oonie

The vagina; this dates back at least to 1990, the Golden Girls episode Blanche Delivers in which Sophia comes up with the euphemism oonie.
Not to be confused with Ooni, a brand of portable wood pellet pizza ovensProbably coincidental in that Sophia is Sicilian and Ooni makes a pizza oven, but the brand name has its roots in Africa.

Dorothy: Ma, you know you're really hurting my feelings.

Sophia: Not as much as you hurt my oonie!

That guy needs to be green warranted. He belongs in the hoo hoo hotel.

Fish eyed fool

1972-1977 CBS. Catch phrase used by Aunt Esther directed at Fred Sanford in response to his insults, frequently referencing all that ugly on her face. She will exclaim, "Why ya ole fish eyed fool!". Whilst the fish eyed meaning may be obscure, though has been used in the 60's or earlier, it may be speculated that Esther was telling Fred why he don't look in the mirror.

Why ya ole fish eyed fool!

Smut

Sexually explicit content. It can be stories, porn, tv shows and movies, with varying degrees of sexual content. It is a pretty subjective term. People may disagree on whether a mild innuendo constitutes smut or not. But over time mild content was considered less and less smutty. But hardcore pornography and x rated movies remain smutty. In high school, and you may joke if you want, I was offended by ancient Greco Roman statues in the history books and called it smut. The teacher said it was not. The word smut in this definition was attested to in 1983 in the tv show Mama's Family. Main character Thelma, (Vicki Lawrence) didn't approve of smut and used the term in the first episode and periodically throughout the series run. However it can be seen in later episodes she still frowns on it but no longer got so offended by very mild content.

Well how did this smut get into my house? You most certainly can not you're far too young to be reading that smut...
...it isn't smut Thelma. The section the child read was taken totally out of context...
...if I'd have known that trash was being written up in that studio I would've put a stop to it a long time ago.
