tickle the ivories

To play the piano.

When you 'tickle' something, you touch it lightly. 'Ivories' refers to the white keys on the piano, which used to be made from ivory.

Uncle George tickled the ivories all night long.

Someone who devours only hors d'oeuvre at parties

Sylvia is a total hors d'oeuvre-ivore, eschewing even the champagne.

Ivory swag

This is a white person who fits in with any ethnic crowd. This wizard of white people could pimp ho's with suga free after c-walking at a backyard boogie with with Dub-C, and then go hang with Billy Ray Cyrus and do a boot scootin boogie all over Miley, after salsa dancing at his Hyna's Hermanita's Quinceañera. Amazingly, these Angel Cakes can usually not only dance, but ball too!

When I think about ivory swag, I think about, Justin Timberlake, Paul Walker, David Spade, Julia Stiles, Will Smith and Tommy Chong.

Ivory

Cocaine in its solid form. Such as a rock or a brick.

Cut that ivory into skinny lines.
