Little Black Sambo

Contrary to popular belief, this is not just an insult.
Little Black Sambo was a series of children's books from the early- to mid-20th century. It centered around the titular character--a little African-American boy named Sambo--playing in the dirt, having a slice of watermelon, and doing many other things. As you may have guessed, this series is and was EXTREMELY racist. However, at the time it was considered very popular. If your parents or grandparents were children during the 50's or 60's, then ask them about Sambo, because chances are they'll remember him.
It can also be used as a derogatory term, which is explored to a greater length in the other definition of this word.

My grandmother gave me a book that she had as a little girl called Little Black Sambo. It was kind of racist...

Sambo

An international man of mystery. Where is he from? Nobody knows. How many languages does he speak? Impossible to count them all. He's a modern nomad--you never know when or where you'll cross paths. But one thing is certain, the attraction will be instantaneous. Tall, dark, handsome, and smart as a whip; be mindful of your drooling. And as for matters of the heart, there too he is skilled. A few kind words, a smile, and that gaze, and you'll want to tell him every secret you've ever kept. He's a rare bird, this one. Should you ever experience him firsthand, count yourself one lucky girl!

Me: "I just had the strangest dream...I could've sworn I met a Sambo. But that's impossible. Sambos are urban legend..."

Sambo: "Everything is going to be okay. You've just fainted..."

shambo

A sudden involuntary jolt that occurs as one is about to fall asleep. Relates to the nervous system. The term most closely relates to falling asleep in a classroom or public setting. However, a shambo can occur anywhere and can be of varying intensity. A minor shambo is surprising yet most often goes unnoticed by bystanders. More severe shamboes can result in anywhere from minor to major bodily injury of the afflicted or those around them.

"In third hour I had a huge shambo that shook my whole desk."

"Last hour I shamboed so bad I almost defacated in my pants."

"Last night I was about to go to sleep, but then I had a major shambo. I couldn't get back to sleep after that."
