Another term for trunk or treat, the emerging American practice of children's trick or treating for candy out of car trunks whose owners have convened in church or shopping-center parking lots for the occasion. The practice, which is similar to sports-events tailgating of meals near a stadium, is meant to offer children a safer experience than walking the streets.
"I need to buy lots of candy. Time for Halloween tailgating."
"You need so much candy for a football game?"
"No, it's for trick-or-treating out of car trunks near the church on Halloween afternoon, also called trunk or treat."
"Very clever, these Americans."

Gengoroh (sometimes Gengorou) Tagame, b. 1964, is openly gay and Japan's best known artist who deals in explicitly hardcore themes of male homosexuality and BDSM. His work typically depicts hirsute and stocky characters of the type called bears in English. This genre, which Tagame founded and still leads, is called bara manga -- roughly "bear porn" or "bear graphic novels," a subset of gei comi or "gay comics." Bara manga as a genre stands in sharp distinction to the better known yaoi manga, which generally feature stories of young, smooth, hairless gay men that have particular appeal to female readers.
Tagama the artist has a large number of magazine illustrations and some fine art to his credit, but his reputation rests primarily on his many manga, many of them multi-part. Tagame's best-known and most widely-read manga today is probably his trilogy from the mid-2000's, "Pride", about a hunky college student who is trained as a BDSM slave (masochist) by a college professor who becomes his master.
Some of Tagame's work has been translated and sold in France. There are no official translations of his manga in English-speaking language to date; in a few cases fans and amateurs have taken it on themselves to clandestinely scan and translate some of his work into rough English, a process known as Scanlation. This type of work is widely circulated on the Internet but is not legal due to copyright conventions and Tagame receives no royalties for it.

"Roman Wright is six foot two and hairy-chested. He's a bear cub because he's only 28 years old.
With that height, he will definitely never be an otter, though."
