booze mining

Booze mining is the practice of hiding a quantity of alcohol (and/or drugs) before the security goes up for an outdoor festival (say, like Lollapalooza) by burying it on the grounds, often with a geotag on the location, and digging it up after the show starts.

"What're you doing there?"
~ "I'm digging up my booze, man!"
"Dude, I so thought booze mining was an Urban Legend!"

the frost is on the pumpkin

Time for making love. After the hard work of the harvest is done, and to relieve the pent-up tension of not being able to mate because of sweltering August weather (you know - sleeping on the porch, all the windows open, etc...). Also copulation at this time traditionally brought pregnancy to term after spring planting but well before the next year's harvest.

When the weather's hot and sticky there's no time for dunkin' dickie; when the frost is on the punkin that's the time for dickie dunkin'! - anonymous pithy verse

Tim was over to Laurie's again last night - I guess the frost is on the pumpkin!

laager mentality

The idea that since every man (and his gun) is needed for the common defense of the group, any one man's behavior, short of murder, must be tolerated, even including mild insanity and such serious crimes as rape. (From the Afrikaans voortrekker word 'laager' - a circle of wagons forming a defensive perimeter, as when the days journey was done and the group settled in for the night)

When the cop shot the unarmed perp his buddies closed in with their laager mentality and made a thorough investigation of the facts impossible, intentionally misplacing evidence and confusing investigators.
