piledriver

A piledriver is a mixed drink consisting of two jiggers of vodka in a tall glass of prune juice. Probably came from the screwdriver, similarly made but using orange juice as the base. It is popularly used either as a cure for constipation or as a "dare drink."

I'm constipated, so gimme two piledrivers and a half-hour.

dinosaur

A person who has been employed for a long time by a corporation, university, or organization. Generally used disparagingly by younger persons who regard this person as a general obstacle to progress, or one to their own personal advancement. The expression implies obsolescence on the part of the person so described, whether factually or not.

The English Department was filled with dinosaurs who were on the faculty for more than thirty years. They should set a maximum limit on the number of years a person may be on the faculty!

pissant

1. An insignificant or mediocre person.

2. A tiny black ant, sometimes called a 'sugar ant.' It is called this because this type of ant is a favorite target in urinals.

Monty Python wrote the Philosopher's Song in which they declared that 'Immanuel Kant was an old pissant.' I agree.
