The act of paying for drinks or
tipping the bartender. Refers to the mahogany wood with which many
bar tops are made.
(The bartender may give this not so subtle hint if you leave a
stingy tip)
1. "Hay
Joe, its
Wednesday, your turn to decorate the mahogany...Anther round please"
2. Patron: (Puts a quarter down after ordering 5 drinks)
Bartender: "That 2 bits is better off in your
pocket than mine, you gotta decorate the mahogany"
