up to the maker's mark

To be at the apogee of the sexual act; to be fully inserted into one's partner. Said to be from the data plate found on the sides of various pieces of hydraulic drilling equipment. To be up to your nuts in guts, to bottom out.

Chuck was up to the maker's mark in Cindy last night - that must explain why she's walking funny today. - Sol R.

Mark Ecko's getting up

Really a great game that didn't get the publicity or recognition it deserved for two main reasons; it's just bad publicity for any store to advertise a game about graffiti, and the sad fact that since he helped fund it, Mark Ecko has his name plastered throughout the game. This simple fact turned off almost the entire subculture it was really designed for.

The basic plot line is that Trane, the main character, is an unknown in the heavily prosecuted graffiti underworld of New Radius city, he is soon sucked into a world of government conspiracy and must expose the truth through the uncensored medium of graffiti.

The game features a number of graff legends (voiced by themselves) from Cope2 to the social experiment OBEY. Each legend also has a background log into your black book

Guy1: Hey, you play Mark Ecko's Getting Up yet?

Guy2: No man that fucker Ecko's all over it beginning to end.

Guy1: Sad but true, still, if you can look past that it really is a great game.

Guy2: Alright, I'll try it, but I'm not spendin' $10 on it, I'm borrowing it from you.

Needless Markup

Slang for Neiman Marcus, a very expensive department store.

I spent $5 for my t-shirt at Target, but she spent $105 for the same shirt at Needless Markup.

That's an 800% markup.it’s outrageous.

needless markups

Slang for the department store Neiman Marcus

Why go to to Bloomingdale's, when you can go to Needless Markups & pay double the price, for the same pair of Billy's!!

Neiman Markups

A department store where you can purchase the same items as in other stores for twice the price.

My mom bought me a pair of gay shorts for $80 at Neiman Markups. I saw the same shorts at Foley's for $40 and they were just as gay.
