A, second to none. In the US, 220 is thought of as high power, so something being called 220 means high test, quality, etc.
B, a 240 volt mains circuit. Early on in house wiring, 110 and 220 were often used. The US upgraded to a 120/240 standard, though still commonly referred to as 110 and 240 respectively. In Europe many times even recently the standard was 220 with many countries adopting a new 230 standard, so may be colloquially referred to as 220

Get the 220mug. Plural of joist is joists. Due to the similarity with the mostly girls' given name, some people dumb it down, by humour or perhaps ignorance, and say joyce/joyces.
What size steel joyces I need for my floors and ceilings? I'm using steel and masonry to build my house?

Get the Joycesmug. Nonsense talk, meaningless language, something said or written in an overly complex, incomprehsible or incoherent way.
Apparently the first known attestation was in a memo by US Representative (Texas) Maury Maverick dated March 30, 1944, banning "gobbledygook language". Apparently coined in imitation of the sounds made by a turkey.
Mr. Maury Maverick was, incidentally, the grandson of lawyer and politician Samuel Maverick, whose behaviour regarding his cattle inspired the term maverick ("offbeat").
The date of the memo is also interesting, because it was four days following the birth of illustrious diva Diana Ross.
Another noteworthy use of the term gobbledygook was in Judge Judy's 60 Minutes interview in 1993, before she got her own show. She said that people who do the right thing are not afraid of her, saying that they are afraid if they come in and do the routine thing, which is to give her a lot of rhetoric and gobbledygook. It is therefore, quite possible, that the word may have been heard on the original Judge Judy, and possibly Judy Justice. Judge Judy was also born 1942, making her a baby whenever Maverick used the term gobbledygook in the aforementioned memorandum.

Get the Gobbledygookmug. A tract housing estate in the Laurel region Northwestern Henrico County Virginia, part of the Richmond area. Many of the homes were built in the late 1950's during "white flight" into the suburbs, the oldest known houses built in 1957. There's one main floor plan of 3 bed ranchers, many have had extensions added. Another, a split level is found on Stockbridge Dr and Royerton Dr., also ca. 1957. There are additional ranchers, of another floor plan with dens, built ca. the late 1960's. Shecardee used to offer access to the adjacent Laurel Park Shopping Center, but that entry had potholes, was gated off but still allowing pedestrian access. Laurel Pine Dr was built later, presumably the early 1970's, withore choices of floor plans, with just a few ranchers. most of its houses are bi and tri levels. There were a few newer houses built on that street ca
2010's. Also a couple2010's two storey homes were built on Paragon Dr where used to be a pool. Many of the older homes began falling into disrepair at some point, but more recently, many formerly run down houses have been restored, so it's a very nice neighbourhood.
There were two clans in particular, who have had extended relatives in multiple houses. Both have a common descendant, Carlton Piercey b. 1983. Shaw-Piercey, maternal grandparents and extended relatives, and Whited, paternal grandparents and extended relatives. There are no more known members of either clan living there since 2019-2020.

Get the Laurel Parkmug. Often a term for all dogs. There's a growing number of people who are fed up with dog culture and how society pushed these dangerous shit beasts onto people as something adorable or in any way desirable. Shit beast could also refer to any animal, usually large, that one finds offensive because the bigger the animal, the bigger the crap. So a horse may be considered by many a shit beast.
I hate dogs and horses. Them shit beasts make me sick. Yet people keep putting dogs in our faces trying to convince us that they're cute and loyal when nothing about them is desirable. A horse is another shit beast. Equine therapy is so oxymoronic. How can a shit beast be therapeutic?

Get the Shit beastmug. A mispronunciation for ganache, a form of dark semi sweet chocolate blended with cream. Used by ignorant people who don't know that the pronunciation sounds like g'nosh

Get the Gannishmug. A seemingly blasphemous statement that dog worshippers came up with. Dogs are vermin. They're unclean, unsanitary, dangerous creatures. The Bible talks about them both in a positive and a negative sense, but in those days, dog nuttery wasn't such a thing as it is now with the influences of corporations and the media. This has caused extreme dependency on a sometimes impractical and expensive companion animal to such a degree that it replaces human companionship, so Big Bro can keep them ignorant and indoctrinate them, brainwash them with all sorts of rubbish. There is a rightful and legit provision for service dogs but in spite of health laws and leash laws, these selective bred mutant wolves are brought into public areas where they don't belong and businesses go against health department prohibitions to become dog friendly. Dog nuttery is engineered to get us towards the New World Order. It's subliminally preparing people to worship the Beast. Also think of the duality of god and evil and how reversal of something good is evil. As above so below, Jesus Christ, the Saviour, Lord. The Beast, Antichrist, Satan. God, good all the time, Dog....well you get the idea
God spelled backwards is dog. Dogs are so wonderful! ...
....Uh lady, I don't like dogs must I really give you a reason?...
...You don't like dogs? You're a cold hearted jerk!.....
No Miss Thing, Karen. I love God and I love humans. God spelled backwards is dog may sound like music to your ears but think about the symbolism and evil being opposite of good. Christ, Antichrist. They're conditioning people to worship The Beast. And if you want to be godly you wouldn't judge me because I have the sense to know what's really going on with this dog culture. I won't judge you you can have your dog but keep it at home, out of my eye.
