THUMP

Expediting matters appropriately at last recourse, generally meted out to a deserving party.

"Richard triggered a huge barfight by hitting that poor musician right in the middle of the face for nothing.

Boy, when I saw that, I wrapped my belt around my right hand, walked right into the melee, and 'THUMP!', one blow to the back of that bastard's skull, and everything was square again.
Soon, we could all go home."

The place cleared out, someone went for ice and towels; others cleaned up the broken glass and righted the tables.
Then, my pants fell down.

humboldt park

A big old park designed by Olmsted, in Chicago near Division (St.) and California (Ave.), located in the middle of what has long been a highly dysfunctional neighborhood; the most dangerous part of the city; now with a growing number of yuppies moving in, but the old crew hanging on as well.
A good percentage of the buildings on Division Street have been burned since the 1970's, giving the neighborhood a semi-rural feel. But, don't be deceived by looks, nor stay around there after dark. It is still a pretty bad place with big trouble lurking here and there.

"Humboldt for a rumble."

Roberto Clemente High School, the school with the highest rate of violence and teen pregnancies, lowest test scores, and largest number of dropouts in the city, is in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood.

Humboldt reminds me of, "Rip-Off Park", from the old 'Freak Brother's', comics.

Hole In The Head

The last thing you'd ever want, used as a simile.

"If the zoning board rejects our proposal, we'll be forced to allow the superhighway to divide the property, and then 9 holes might be on one side, and the other 9 holes on the other side. We need that like we need a Hole in the Head."

wing

Verb. To hurl a penny really hard, usually at the back of the head of someone sitting in front of you. A popular school prank.
A nickel might do more damage, but it was never worth throwing away 5 cents if you missed.
(Don't try this in college)

A penny can fly fast and hard if you wing it, especially if you held it like you're going to skip a stone, then put a snap to your wrist like a whip.

"Tee Hee, let's wing that guy in English Class again, (you know the one the principal caught beating off in the bathroom.")
Good penny wingers ought to be on the pitching staff of the school team, instead of in detention.

Barry (to Mike): He dinged Richard. (Ha ha ha.)
