A city in Staffordshire, England. Stoke is famous across the world for it's pottery industry. Many fine brands such as Wedgewood and Spode originate from Stoke.
However, the pottery industry is currently dying a sorry and painful death, due to Mexican sweatshops being a far cheaper source of plates and cups than England, with all it's health and safety laws and 'minimum wage' bollocks.
This has resulted in Stoke, formerly a haven for academic under-achievers due to the thousands of manual jobs in pot-banks, becoming a ghost town populated by recently redundant, now-unemployable, skilless (unless you see 'Fettling and Sponging' as a skill) troglodytes wandering about having fights with each other and/or students from the two local universities.
'Stoke-on-Trent' is also Mockney rhyming slang for 'Bent'. If you ever visit the place, you will see what a splendid aptronym-cum-epithet this is.

Grotesque act of social terrorism.
1) Spot someone you have little or no respect for at a social gathering.
2) Sneakily put your hand down the back of your own pants, and have a good rummage, exposing it to (how can I put this..?) ass-sweat.
3) Boldly run up to your target, extending the 'infected' hand for him/her to shake.
4) They are left with a stinky hand and complete ignorance of the insult they have been exposed to. You are left with an equally stinky hand, but also a sense of pride/victory.
Aka Shaolin Stinkpalm

Possibly fictitious sexual practice once mentioned in an interview by Corey Taylor of pretend rock band Slipknot. Dirtclodding (if it exists) involves one partner withdrawing his member from the other's dilated anus and then (please excuse me...) poo-ing into the gaping aperture.
Worryingly, Im sure that even if he meant it as a joke, many Slipknot fans have probably got bad infections trying it since.

Aka - The 'Jeff Goldblum Noise'. The phonetic spelling of that sound made by actor Jeff Goldblum to punctuate every other sentence he utters. A kind of smug, smirking exhalation through one's splayed nostrils, which makes the user appear superior yet self-depreciating at the same time.
"Holsten Pills... pffftt... Because all the sugar turns to alcohol!"
"You could tell that Jurassic Park 3 was going to suck ass because... pffftt... they couldn't even get an old whore like me to be in it."
