Sir Carlton's definitions

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

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.

Laurel Park

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.

I lived in Laurel Park. You know, Hungary and Woodman?

Ugly

Rude, mean, exhibiting poor manners. This definition is old school. It was often used by older folks correcting children who are, well, being ugly. This definition hasn't anything to do with one's physical appearance. However it can be used more generally, like talking about a person who cussed you out, talking ugly to you. Another example is when you have to tell something the ugly truth, like saying " I don't mean to be ugly but..."
Then there's of the definition of not being considered aesthetically appealing, repulsive
Redd Foxx came up with all kinds of jokes on Sanford and Son, his character Fred Sanford firing off incessant remarks about Esther, being ugly. It has become a staple, especially in African American humour in TV and movies, for example Madea's brother Joe talking about a battery acid chemical peal to scrub all that ugly off her face.

Don't hit your sister, brother, etc. That's ugly.
I don't mean to be ugly, but you shouldn't be ugly towards people like that
God don't like ugly (in the sense of not treating others right)
Redd Foxx: Vengeance is mine, and ugly is yours.

green warrant

TDO or temporary detention order. Green warrant was used in parts of the US of A for when a person, perhaps because of a psychiatric disturbance, posed a threat to oneself or others and it is an order for involuntary admission to a psychiatric institution, or as some might say, a hoo hoo hotel.

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

Porty

Porta john. A term which is thought to be very recently coined. It sounds like a British slang. However it is Southern in this definition, supposedly originating in Richmond Virginia.

I can't stand using a porty. It smell horrendous. And in summer it's so hot that along with the smell may choke one to death in 30 seconds.

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.
