Short for Evolution, a series of Harley-Davidson engines. The "big twin" Evo replaced the Shovelhead in 1984, replaced by the Twin Cam in 1999. The Evo Sportster or XL replaced the Ironhead in 1986 and is still in production, albeit in a rubber-mount format.

Those tall jar candles with the bizarre, often gruesome, Catholic iconography on the outside of the jar. Usually found at Mexican markets, religious gift stores, and the ethnic food section at the supermarket.
Shop 'n' Rob in Bay Point has a great selection of pickled Jesus candles.
No, I'm not Catholic, I just like pickled Jesus candles.

A modified, customized motorcycle, typically a Harley Davidson, although "back in the day" Indian, Triumph and BSA motorcycles were "chopped" and these days Japanese motorcycles are being transformed into choppers.
The term "chopper" comes from the origins of motorcycle customization. Unnecessary parts were (sometimes literally) "chopped" off to reduce the weight of the motorcycle and increase its performance for racing. Rear fenders were "bobbed" (where the term "bobber" comes from), front fenders, crash bars, saddlebags, windshields, head and tail lights, kickstands, mufflers, etc. were all discarded to improve the machine's power-to-weight ratio. Forks were extended to improve ground clearance and later raked to compensate for better stability.
Contrary to popular belief, a chopper is not simply a motorcycle built with long forks, a stretched frame, chrome and billet crap and a gazillion-color $10K paintjob. True choppers are generally built from another motorcycle or motorcycles, by the owner of the motorcycle and modifications are done to the builder/owner's desires and usually done on a budget.
The big-bucks "chopper" shops do not build choppers. OCC does not build true choppers. They build custom motorcycles. A custom can emulate the classic chopper styles (bobber, East Bay lowrider, digger, fat bob, etc.) but it is not a true chopper. Same as a fibreglass-bodied 350/350-powered 5-window coupe that looks like a hot rod, it is not a true hot rod.

Slang term for Mogen David wine, especially the fortified-wine MD 20/20 variety. The MD stands for Mogen David. It was shortened to MD for their line of bum wines to differentiate between their more respectable (if no less nasty) line of kosher wines.
Contrary to popular myth, there has never been a wine sold under the name Mad Dog.

Got me some Mad Dog last night and got fucked up.
There's a new flavor of Mad Dog called Buck Bunny and it's licorice! Nasty!
Red Grape Mad Dog is 18% alcohol.
