meatball surgery

A nickname for surgery that is meant to be performed rapidly to stabilize the patient as quickly as possible.
Amid technical innovations and changes of personnel, one thing that did not change was the MASH's basic function of performing what Capt. H. Richard Hornberger of the 8055th later called "meatball surgery." Speaking as Richard Hooker, pseudonymous author of M*A*S*H, he suggested that meatball surgery is a specialty in itself. "We are not concerned with the ultimate reconstruction of the patient. We are concerned only with getting the kid out of here alive enough for someone else to reconstruct him. Up to a point we are concerned with fingers, hands, arms and legs, but sometimes we deliberately sacrifice a leg in order to save a life, if the other wounds are more important. In fact, now and then we may lose a leg because, if we spent an extra hour trying to save it, another guy in the pre-op ward could die from being operated on too late. Our general attitude around here is that we want to play par surgery. Par is a live patient."

plastic sorgery

Plastic surgery that requires a form of sorcery to be successful. Said to be particularly helpful for individuals who's face is seen on TV, such as David Pakman, the host of The David Pakman show, who was asked by a caller to get some plastic sorgery to fix his face, in order to convince the caller to watch the show more.
David Pakman could use some plastic sorgery to fix his face. I would watch The David Pakman show on YouTube more if he did.

A party where people wear 10 pounds of makeup, the thottiest clothing they can get their hands on with a pair of vinyl stilettos and large fake eyelashes. A few minutes into the party and the place is covered with glitter, broken glass, and puke. The partygoers enjoy themselves with pink frosting, cocaine, and champagne. Fights usually break out during this time that involves hair being ripped out and free nose jobs. These parties usually end 2 days after it begins.
