citizen

One of many street names for cocaine. Derived from the the classic film Citizen Kane, the second word in the title being a homophone with caine, another common slang term for the drug.

Chris: Yo, call up the dealer and see if he can score us some Citizen.
Kevin: Jesus, Chris, that's an awfully sophisiticated reference, don't you think?

colombian

A adjective referring to people or objects originating in the mountainous South American nation of Colombia. The volcanic soil and humid weather makes for ideal coca plant growing conditions, and thus "Colombian" is generally used to describe good, high purity cocaine, regardless of it's point of origin.

Also, public opinion seems to hold that Colombian citizens and immigrants tend to have big, round heads, though like most stereotypes, this probably would not hold up under serious scentific study.

In the film Scarface (1983), the title actor's first dealing with cocaine occurs during a drug deal gone wrong. Needless to say, both the drug and the people who deal it are are columbian. The following is dialogue from that film:

Colombian: Yeah, okay, you gonna give me the cash or am I gonna kill your brother first? 'Fore I kill you?

Tony Montana: Try sticking your head up your ass. See if it fits. (an insult referencing the Columbian's big head).

eleventh finger

A sexual manouever in which a man, while fingering a woman outside of her field of vision, inserts his penis without announcing he is doing so. The act is generally employed as a means to commence intercourse with a hesitant (but willing) partner.

The term "eleventh finger" can also simply be slang for penis.

Chris: Well, she was kinda riding the fence about having sex with me. Since she never said no outright, I gave her the eleventh finger, and that was that.

Kevin: nicely done, sir.

St. Monday

The act of taking Monday off from work/class because you got crunk so hard over the weekend that you couldn't recover in time. The joke is that you're celebrating "St Monday's Day" and so you can't come to work.

The term actually dates back to pre-revolutionary America. Benjamin Franklin makes fun of his co-workers for taking a large number of "Saint Mondays" in "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin".

"This, and my being esteem'd a pretty good riggite, that is, a jocular verbal satirist, supported my consequence in the society. My constant attendance (I never making a St. Monday) recommended me to the master; and my uncommon quickness at composing occasioned my being put upon all work of dispatch, which was generally better paid. So I went on now very agreeably."

Man Bunt

When playing a baseball-like sport, the act of taking a mighty chop at the ball, but making only slight contact, so the ball hits the ground and rolls only a few pathetic feet. Essentially, it has the effect of a bunt while still allowing the batter to look manly (if foolish) by making a full swing.

Man bunts that fail to either advance a runner or land the batter safely on base are not acutally man bunts, but just plain ole' screwing up.

(Chris takes a hard swing, but just nips the ball. It rolls gingerly down the 3rd base line, but remains fair as Chris sprints safely to first base).

First Baseman: that was total BS.
Chris: Pshaw! That was skill. Don't you know a good man bunt when you see one?

Bop-type Refrain

An extremely esoteric nickname for cocaine. In the original lyrics to the Cole Porter classic showtune "I Get a Kick Out of You", the second verse begins is "Some get a kick from cocaine". As the years passed, that was changed to "Some like the bop-type refrain" so kids could continue to put on "Anything Goes" as a high-school musical.

People aware of this, wanting to demonstrate their cultural refinement and speak about cocaine, all while avoiding eavesdroppers and self-incrimination, replace the technical name of their drug of choice with "Bop-type Refrain" (or simply "Bop-type", though the later option brings with it a tremendous risk of losing your audience.)

Chris: I'm sick of referring to cocaine as "yatch". It's gone too mainstream.
Kevin: How about "Bop-type Refrain"?
Chris: What the - oh, I get it. I didn't know you were a devotee of musical theater.
Kevin: Eh, I know the Sinatra version.
