Gingham

A medium-weight, plain-weave fabric with a plaid or check pattern. Word derived from Italy "Ging-gang" meaning "striped". Medium or fine yarns of varying quality are used to obtain the checks, plaids, stripes, and plain effects. The cloth is yarn dyed or printed. The warp and the filling are usually balanced and if checks of two colors, usually same sequence in both the warp and the filling. It is strong, substantial, and serviceable. It launders well but low textured, cheap fabric may shrink considerably unless preshrunk.
Jack Palance: Pick up the gun

Sheepherder: 'Mister, I don't want no trouble. I just came downtown here to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about ten rolls a week of that stuff.

Robo-Gina

1) An apparatus used by highly intelligent men to climax in a sexual manner.
The Robo-Gina was first introduced to the public by two highly acclaimed German scientists in 1987. Bernard Trevor Clemmont and Johan Dinever Knapenstein created this machine after both discovered their inability to correctly perform the act of sexual intercourse. To this day, a giant sculpture of the first Robo-Gina stands tall in Berlin, next to the guy from Baywatch's memorial, to remind citizens just how rich their heritage can be.
2) Verb - To Robo-Gina or in past tense robo-gina'd, is to put to use that ingenious piece of machinary 'up in a bitch, yo'
Noun - Susie convinced Ted to just buy, "one of those damn Robo-Gina's cuz you sure as hell ain't doing your job you limp son of a bitch!"

Verb - Man, i just couldn't keep going last night and she wanted more so i robo-gina'd the shit out of her.
