when

1. Conditional, based upon time, event, or circumstances.

2. Slang, specific to junk mail advertising lotteries and sweepstakes to persuade as many duh-weebs as possible who haven't even entered a sweepstakes that they have already won: "if".

1. When you finish your chores, you may play; when it's dark, come inside.

2. You are guaranteed to win at least $250,000 when you return the winning number to us. (The fact that the recipient does not have the winning number, so he may as well go fly a kite, is not expressed.)

same smell

1. What you said means the same thing as what I said first.

1. The meaning of what you said is so close to what I said first, that it might as well be the same thing.

"It's cloudy out."

"Same smell."

Hell Niño

The 1992-93 El Niño Winter in Susanville, California, when every storm all winter dumped four feet of snow, and the electricity would shut off for four days at a time, and only come back on just in time for the next storm to hit.

Pictures of cans and bottles of beer stuffed into snow banks are falsely attributed to Canada, but the redneck waste of refrigeration ingenuity on beer rather than on groceries betrays the true origin of the picture as being the Susanville Hell Niño of 1992-93.

metal mouth

1. Braces, having braces.

2. Person with braces.

3. Vocoder.

My CB handle was Metal Mouth in the early 80s, but I never wore braces. I was the chew-em-up mobile and the spit-em-out base.
