tickety-boo

1. Going smoothly, doing all right. Copacetic.

2. Proceeding quickly.

This expression may have originated in Scotland, where it's the title of a popular children's song. A song called "Everything Is Tickety-Boo" was recorded by Danny Kaye as part of the film "Merry Andrew".

This expression is heard more often in Canada nowadays. May have originated in the British military. Possibly related to the Hindi expression "tickee babu", meaning "everything's alright, sir". Some people spell it "diggity boo" or "tiggity boo".

I and I

Also means "I, with God's help" or "I, with God-in-me". Often used in place of "me". Because the people's Identity was destroyed in slavery, Identity is very important in RastafarI -- so I gets capitalIzed a lot. They pronounce the I's strongly in reggae songs. Emperor Haile Selassie I is not "the First" but "Haile Selassie *I*."
I and I build the cabin
I and I plant the corn
Didn't my people before me
slave for this country?

fanservice

As stated above, "fanservice" came from Japanese anime, film, and music culture. Its definition is spreading to include any unnecessary visuals included simply because the fans, presumably, want to see them. Gratuitous nudity, male or female, but also shots of cute mascot animals (e.g., Chuchu the mouse in "Utena").

honey slide

1. A confection made with honey and LSD. Abbie Hoffman referred to it simply as Honey in one of his books.

2. A confection made with honey and marijuana fried together.

1 heaping teaspoon of marijuana.
2 or 3 tablespoons of honey.
Put grass in a dry frying pan. Fry the grass over a low to medium fire for about five minutes, stirring it to be sure it doesn't burn. It is done when it begins to turn brown and wisps of smoke appear. Heat the honey (Important). While the honey is still warm, add the fried grass and mix it well. The honey completely coats the grass, and when you eat it it just slides down your throat. Serves one.
During a concert in the mid 70s, Neil Young told how he made his voice deeper by eating honey slides, and gave the recipe.
