towel snapping

Any kind of stereotypically male banter or sparring, verbal or otherwise; from the habit of boys in high schoo locker rooms snapping towels at each others' butts.

I used to watch the political towel-snapping on "The McLaughlin Group."

long floater

A lengthy turd that don't sink.

I shat such a long floater that the toilet almost cloggged.

New York minute

Really fast, lickety-split; just ask me and I'll jump on it.

I can whip up some martinis in a New York minute.

one oar in the water

Not all there. tetched, a few sandwiches short of a picnic, bonkers, nuts, his elevator stops short of the top floor, etc.

Ever since he heard Dennis Kucinich speak, he's had just one oar in the water.

turnip truck

Metaphorical vehicle bringing rubes to Gotham. One who falls off the truck is hopelessly naive.

You know, I didn't just fall off the turnip truck! I know stuff about the Big City.

a little light on his feet

Effete, a bit of a poof, possibly homosexual

The fellow professes to be happily married, but he's a little light on his feet, if you ask me.

jug

Jail or prison; hoosegow, slammer, graybar motel, calaboose, up the river, the big house

You see a mug, lately outta da jug, and he's still lifting platinum fol-de-rol . . .
