help

A mythical being that will magically appear and render assistance. No one knows what help looks like as no one has ever seen it. I think it isn't fair to blame help for promises that other people make, and help can't keep.

That cabinet looks to big and heavy to move by myself, don't worry you'll have help. I'm not qualified to do this job, don't worry you'll have help. I don't have enough time for this project, don't worry you'll have help.

battlecar retardia

A junk car or truck ,that is driven like a tank by its' retarded driver. The driver forces his way into traffic, cuts people off, and does scary moves because he doesn't care if his ride gets into a wreck. Most battlecar drivers have no plates, no drivers license , no insurance ,and no brains. Normal drivers give way because they don't want a wreck.

Where are the cops when a battlecar retardia is loose?

pump bandit

Someone who drives away without paying for their gas. Some try to claim it's a form of social justice because "the oil companies are ripping us off." Basically it's stealing from the guy who owns the local gas station.

Thanks to the pump bandits you now have to prepay all the time.

dead horse

in the salvage trade a dead horse is something you got for little or nothing because the former owner really wanted to get rid of it. a pallet of computer monitors the bank gave away is a dead horse. the trick is to sell the best parts as horse meat, the not so best parts as dog food,and give the rest away before it starts to stink and you have to pay to dispose of it. making money on dead horses is a skill that takes years to learn.

old computer parts,old computer monitors(disposal costs), paint (disposal costs), anything that you have to pay to get rid of. i got a load of paint for $1 a can. i hope the paint is useable, or that dead horse will really stink.

Science class boyfriend

A friendship of convenience where a hot girl will team up with, and pretend to show an interest in a nerdy guy, because she needs his help to pass a tuff class. The girl will give the nerd false hope that there could be something between them, and drop the nerd as soon as she no longer needs him.

That poor guy doesn't realise he's just a science class boyfriend.

pack mules

The people who do the jobs and get the work done, that an organization needs to survive. A good boss like a good mule skinner is very concerned with the welfare of his mules because he knows his lively hood depends on them.

Bob really went to bat for our raises he knows good pack mules are hard to find.

east omaha tags

Home made paper in transit tags that are used to avoid paying to register a car. The date on the tags is changed from time to time in an attempt to make them appear legal. Real plates taken off a junk car or from the junkyard. Used to avoid getting required liability insurance.

Bob should change his east omaha tags they're turning yellow. I got busted because the car I was driving had east omaha tags, and it wasn't my car. Dave got nailed for east omaha tags, and no insurance.
