Long pig 

The flesh of a man intended for eating.

Derived from 'puaa oa', a phrase originating in the Marquesan language to euphemistically refer to cannibalism.

The phrase first appeared in Fredrick O’Brien's 1919 travelogue of French Polynesia, "White Shadows in the South Seas".
"Upon it once stood the temple and about it were enacted the rites of mystery, when the priests and elders fed on the 'long pig that speaks,' when the drums beat till dawn and wild dances maddened the blood." (p. 175, ibid.)

long butt 

A condition highly prevalent in the 1980's. Someone (typically a woman) wears pants that are pulled up above their navel, as was the style of the times. This, viewed from behind, results in the phenomenon known as "long butt" where a normal butt suddenly seems much longer than would be thought healthy.
Dude, check out that chick!
Wow, that's a serious case of 80's long butt.

Long Talker

Long Talker: also known as "Long Talkers" (couple) and "The Long Talker", referring to the idiot that won’t shut up. “Long Talking (verb)”

A “Long Talker” is a person who can't shut up, usually spewing on about themselves and/or their day. They typically don’t know when they are “Long Talking” and/or how much the other person and/or people who are listening to them want him/her to shut up.

Most “Long Talkers” had broken childhoods and/or had/have very few friends. They pad their Facebook, MySpace or LinkedIn accounts with people the vaguely know and/or briefly met in passing. Most befriend these “Long Talkers” well before any lengthy discussions took place. Otherwise, well, they wouldn’t have befriended them.

Be careful of “Long Talkers”, as they can be impossible to identify right away. Very hard to de-friend and have stalker-istic tendencies.
Gina comes over to your house at 8:00pm to "drop something off". After a minute or so of catching up, you state how tired you are or how you need to get back to anything else but this conversation. Gina, apparently oblivious to your hints, keeps talking, sometimes so fast you can't get a word in.

After 5-10 attempts to close the door mid-speech, Gina still has one foot in and continues to talk.

This is a Long Talker.
