White Lightning

1. Very high proof Moonshine. Borders on being 200 proof; it's pure grain alcohol and is illegal. White Lightning is the subject of a hit George Jones song.

2. White Lightning is also a term for LSD.
1. "Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew,
White lightning 'stead of mountain dew,
I took a little sip and right away I knew,
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue!
Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin'
Shhhoooh . . . white lightning!" -George Jones

2. Suzy was tripping on White Lighting.

White Lightning

Cheap, clear cider. Tastes like distilled urine. Probably is distilled urine. Carreis the stigma of being an under-18s-down-the-offy drink and of being taken (in huge amounts) by chavs.
And Johnny took a sip of White Lightning and spat it right back out again. "This is shit! And all those wannabe MCs drink that? Blimey, no wonder their rhymes were crap and their eyebrows fell off!" he said.

White Lightning

The default nickname for a white guy who can really run run. Kind of strange considering lightning is already white.
