Carthage

Carthage (, , Berber: Kartajen, or Karthago, from the Phoenician (meaning new town) refers both to an ancient city in present-day Tunisia, and a modern-day suburb of Tunis. The civilization that developed within the city's sphere of influence is referred to as Punic or Carthaginian. The city of Carthage is located on the eastern side of Lake Tunis across from the center of Tunis. According to Roman legend it was founded in 814 BC by Phoenician colonists under the leadership of Elissa (Queen Dido). It became a large and rich city and thus a major power in the Mediterranean. The resulting rivalry with Syracuse and Rome was accompanied by several wars with respective invasions of each other's homeland. Hannibal's invasion of Italy in the Second Punic War culminated in the Carthaginian victory at Cannae and led to a serious threat to the continuation of Roman rule over Italy; however, Carthage emerged from the conflict at its historical weakest. After the Third Punic War, the city was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC. However, the Romans refounded Carthage, which became one of the three most important cities of the Empire and the capital of the short-lived Vandal kingdom. It remained one of the most important Roman cities until the Muslim conquest when it was destroyed a second time in AD 698.

ox cart

Slang term for a wheelchair, particularly a wheelchair that is used by an extremely fat and overweight person. The term has absolutely nothing to do with those ox-driven wagons that farmers in the old days used to haul grain and stuff.

1. Last night while I was at the strip club, I saved this one stripper from becoming a stripper in hell, by running up to her rich fatass cheese hog customer, rolling his ass out of the club, and disconnecting the batteries from his ox cart, leaving him out in the street crying.

2. Ayyo ni'a, if you keep being all over that greasy shit like a Tri Delt on cake, someday you gonna be so fat that yo' legs can't even support you and you'll need an ox cart to haul yo' lard ass around!
