roobah (n): A fictional form of rural Australian mass transit in which a giant kangaroo (a "roo") lets passengers ride in her abdominal pouch as if riding a bus (the "bah" --from "bus") popularized by a 2020 episode of late night Cartoon Network series "YOLO Crystal Fantasy." As the roobah jumped along the road with pouch-passengers aboard, voice and text on screen repeatedly said "ROOBAH, ROOBAH, ROOBAH."
(In Australian accent) "Sarah, the car's out; 'ow are whe gonna get to the Terry Cup match now?"
(In Australian accent) "Oheh yeh, we'll 'ave to tayke the roobah then."

Get the roobahmug. Targetorb: the distinctive orb-shaped waist-high anti-vehicle bollards installed around the entry doors of Target stores --as compared to the plain concrete-filled pipes typical of other stores' bollards. Targetorbs are usually painted red. ("TAHR-geh-TORB")(n)
The Targetorbs outside Target are kinda cute and every time Bily sees a Targetorb, he wants to climb on it and have his picture taken. Perhaps that's their hidden purpose.

Get the Targetorbmug. BeerIceBaitGroc (beer-iys-BAYt-grock)(n): A phrase printed --occasionally hand-painted-- on placards or signage at rural American community markets meaning "we sell beer, ice, bait, and groceries." Portions of the phrase may be split up among several lines of text, for instance, "BeerIce" on the first line (with or wihout spaces) and "BaitGroc" on the second. If being spoken in sarcasm, the "groc" must be pronounced as spelled: "GROCK" (like "crock") and never "GROSS" (as might be implied from it being a shortened form of "groceries"). Subdivisions of the phrase may serve as shorthand for the whole, i.e. BeerIce may be used alone, as may BaitGroc.
"Heya Honey, I'm gonna' go down to the campground store for BeerIceBaitGroc --maybe get some bread and Bud Light."

Get the roobahmug. tabhole: the main cut-away hole in a pull tab of a beverage can --compare: enhanced tabhole (a gratuitously complex holing, as if complexity of tab hole-making enhances product status; artistic tabhole (a tab hole purposefully cut in an artistic manner --like the Red Bull cans' cutout in the shape of a bull). ("TAHB-hol")(n)
Okay, I actually don't mind paying soooooo much for Red Bull energy drinks because they immediately make me feel like I've had a refreshing nap --and bonus points for the artistic tabhole shaped like a bull. My only qualm is if I'm going to drive in heavy traffic while full of Red Bull, it seems like my anxiety kicks up a notch.

In the 80s, kids saved up pull tabs which they strung together by putting wire through the tabhole of each tab, so some sort of charity purpose that usually turned out to be just urban legend. People didn't have Snopes to check back then.

Get the tabholemug. FIPOP (FY-pop)(n): Trench humor workplace initialism for "Food In Place Of Pay" used when low-level employees are provided free food while being expected to put in unpaid extra work hours. Pizza is the most common FIPOP treat, followed by bagels, donuts, and deli sandwiches. (Also FILOP FY-lop for "Food In Lieu Of Pay" among workers well-schooled enough to know that "in lieu of" means "instead of")
Upon hearing that hourly employees will be expected to stay late, unpaid, until both trucks are unloaded but Manager Eric bought some pizza, Worker Drone Lisa thought, (sarcastic) "oh great, FIPOP pizza --I'd rather have the pay."

Mike arrived at the store and co-worker Becky confided, "We've got to shovel the snow off the parking lot, but they at least put some FIPOP donuts and cocoa in the break room"

Get the fipopmug. CTFD: An intialism for "Calm The Fuck Down" mosty used in chat forums and email, but having some leakage to vernacular usage. (see-tee-eff-dee)(emphatic)
"During the CoVid-19 lockdown panic with all of those empty shelves in the supermarkets, I wanted managers to put up signs link, 'Attention customers: please CTFD, you don't need to buy 25 rolls of toilet paper'."
