knob slobber

1. A euphemism combined with a metaphor: Knob: euphemism for dick head, penis (cf. "get my knob polished"). Slobber: visible pre-cum (pre-ejaculate fluid) emanating from the penis, so called because the fluid is clear and visually resembles drool or spittle.

2. By extension, knob slobber can also mean a dick head bearing visible saliva (spittle) from fellatio, together with pre-ejaculate. The combination of the two is also clear.

A related term is knob slob, a giver of messy blowjobs.

--"Timm pre-cums so much his knob slobber looks like a deluge."

Pennsyltucky

The area of Pennsylvania, generally east and south of Pittsburgh in the Appalachian Mountain chain, that behaves more like Appalachia than the affluent East. Pennsyltucky is characterized by a poorish white population, mountain living, and a lack of cultural and ethnic diversity. It is a portmanteu of PENNSYLvania and KenTUCKY, the former state showing its mid-Atlantic location and the latter its poor ethnic white makeup. It is worth noting that Pennsylvania and Kentucky have no common border, so the term differs from more common locutions like "Illiana" or "Ark-La-Tex."

-- "Did you know that Vice President Joe Biden coined the term Pennsyltucky?"
-- Actually the term was in use over ten years ago, but Biden reactivated it to refer to a distinct geographical and ethnic bloc within Pennsylvania -- a bloc that Donald Trump would probably have to win to take all of Pennsylvania in the 2016 Presidential election."

Ass Mode

A term consistently used during the lead-in to the "Twitters, Tweets and E-Mail" section of Craig Ferguson's "Late Late Night Show" on CBS.

May refer to the practice of setting a cell phone to "ring" not with sound but with vibration. Worn on the fanny (or inside a fanny pack), such a phone would be communicating an inbound call in "Ass Mode."

"Stop squirming."

"Can't help it. I'm in (or: 'The phone is in') Ass Mode."

punk

Pre-Sid Vicious, pre-any stringy young male, "Punk" referred to the passive or "bottom" partner in a male-on-male prison sexual relationship. (The dominant or "top" man was called the "jock" or "jocker".) Since the punk was usually the scrawnier and younger of the two, that meaning of the term escaped into the general culture and eventually became attached to young, rebellious men fronting kick-ass rock bands.

(Description of a prison killer in Truman Capote's IN COLD BLOOD 1966): "Just two jockers fighting over a punk."
