smiles per gallon 

A play on the metric miles per gallon. Describes the overall fulfillment and enjoyment of a driving experience, rather than fuel economy. Used often in the car enthusiast community, when referencing vehicles that focus primarily on performance rather than daily drive-ability and convenience.
That car may suck up gas, but it makes up for it in smiles per gallon.

Gallon Red 

The nameless overly sugared crimson ambrosia of your local corner mart. Like kool-aid, but much cheaper and thicker. Gallon red refers to the red cherry/tropical flavors, but can be in other flavors as well: green (lime), blue (blue raspberry), orange, and questionably black (grape). Always cheap, never filling.
Yo lets hit up the corner mart and get some gallon red

John Gollop 

A distinguished member of the States of Guernsey. One of the only politicians who works for the people and knows what he is talking about. Also a great character who turns up at any social event he can.
Lol is that John Gollop?

Yeah, yeah it is. What a legend!

gish-galloper 

The Gish Gallop is a a debating/rhetorical technique that involves barraging an opponent with a haze of falsified statements, outright lies, and straw-man arguments. The unsuspecting opponent typically feels defenseless and frustrated against the attack and is unable to deflect it on the spot. It is named after creationism activist and professional debater Duane Gish.
Newt Gingrich is a notorious gish-galloper. In an exchange with Howard Dean he grossly distorted the facts concerning the number of Americans who would be forced into a government health insurance plan by making up the random number of 131 million:

"The way the bill in the House -- and we're talking about a specific bill -- the way the bill in the House would work, if your company didn't offer any insurance, they would pay an 8 percent tax on their personnel cost.

For most companies, that would be a net savings of 3 percent, 4 percent or 5 percent. One estimate by Lewin Associates (sic) is 131 million Americans will lose their private insurance and be pushed into a government plan."
