Ali Baba

Unfortunate term among Iraq War GIs to describe any Iraqi bad guy: looter, thief, insurgent, terrorist, or suspect.

The use of "Ali Baba" is probably not helping us win the war for Hearts and Minds in Iraq.

side hustle

Sideline that brings in cash; something other than your main job. Maybe playing weekend gigs or life coaching. SELLING AMWAY IS NOT A SIDE HUSTLE -- it's just a stupid way to alienate your friends.

When start up your own business you probably want to get some side hustle going. Maybe a small low stress consulting job on how to get a side hustle going.

something else

Person or happenstance with unusual, funny, quirky, and strange -- perhaps bizzarre -- qualities

Michael Jackson is FOR SURE something else.
