Murder Inc. 

The Ocean-Hill/Brownsville Combination, Brooklyn gangsters in the 1930s and 1940s.

Specializing in labor racketeering and murder for hire, this bi-ethnic Jewish/Italian gang had some of the greatest nicknames in the annals of crime:

Lepke Buchalter
Dasher Abbondando
Tick Tock Tannenbaum
Kid Twist Reles
The Mad Hatter Anastasia
Gurrah Shapiro
Buggsy Goldstein
If Murder Inc.were alive today, Messrs. Rule and Cent would be swimming in Loch Sheldrake chained to a slot machine.

ba'al teshuvah 

A Jew who becomes more frum later in life. Plural is ba'al teshuvot.
No more calamar' for the ba'al teshuvah.

Delta One 

In financial derivatives, where the hedge position corresponds one-for-one with the notional of the derivative.

This is always true of forwards and swaps: thus, Jérôme Kerviel, as a swaps trader, was on SocGen's Delta One desk.
The amount of money that Kerviel was making, as a Delta One trader with a 500K risk limit, was suspicious.

forty deuce 

Forty-second street in NYC, back in the day before it was all Disnified. Whores, drugs and crime, which is way better than tourists, the Lion King and theme restaurants.
Yo, let's go to forty deuce and score some angel dust.
Sovereign Wealth Funds, governmental or quasi-governmental investment funds such as Singapore's TEMASEK or Abu Dhabi's ADIA.

First few times I saw the acronym, I was definitely confused: who were all these single white females giving billions to brain-damaged US banks? And, more importantly, what were their phone numbers? Damn was I disappointed when I figured it out . . .
Abu Dhabi's SWF just put up another billion of C convertible preferred.
SWF by goyische shitheel January 31, 2008
The zipcode for Manhattan's Upper East Side (UES), the debutard capital of the planet.
All of the 10021 showed up at the Fake Trust-Fund Artists Who Can Still Live in Manhattan Benefit at the Metropolitan. After all, it was hosted by (gasp) Tinsley. Again.

no penny tax 

In kids' games, no do-overs. If called right after choosing sides, selecting who's it, who goes first or the like, it prevents the other side from trying to redo.

Confined to New York, maybe even just Brooklyn and Staten Island.
. . . and you are not it. Tony, you're it. NO PENNY TAX. (Tony is it. Period.)
