raisin head

Term for brand new American naval recruits the first few weeks of boot camp at the Great Lakes (Chicago, IL) Recruit Training Center (RTC). The term comes about as new recruits start off wearing black watch caps (knit stocking caps) instead of the classic white "dixie cup" hat of the traditional US Navy enlisted man.

Man, those raisin heads sure are a sorry bunch.

astroturf

v. The technique of using boiler plate text to advance a political agenda. "Astroturfing" is typically done by sending the same letter to every newspaper one can find. A certain number of newspapers will be duped into thinking that the letter is original and heartfelt when it is neither.

Many newspapers were astroturfed with the pro-Bush letters posted at the pResident's web site. Many newspapers were convinced that a number of soldiers worship Bush as the Messiah incarnate.

Thomas is often prophylactically sheathed in plastic in order to protect him from his admirers at that fine cross-town academic institution, the University of California at Los Angeles.

Did you SEE those Toe Jams crying all over their Cardinal and Gold jammies after Stanford spanked them?

crispy snoots

Pig snouts that are barbecued for a long time. Crispy snoots are a regional favorite in St. Louis, Missouri. Usually smoked over hickory, and served with crispy trotters (pig feet) and deep fried ravioli.

The best crispy snoots I ever ate were from a place in East St. Louis that used beer in their BBQ sauce. Mmmm good!
