A chow hall at the United States Naval Academy that has terrible food. It is renowned for serving eight 3.5 inch chicken patties for a table of twelve Midshipman. It is only one of many parts of the Naval Academy that sucks at accomplishing its job, though this is not the fault of the workers, rather the person in charge of budgeting. The only quality foods you will find at this chow hall are the desserts. And you wondered why the navy was so fucking fat.
Since I ran out of money from my last $125 paycheck I've been eating at King Hall. In three weeks I've lost 30 pounds, had two cases of food poisoning and haven't been able to crap for three days, but hey, it's free.

Noun.
Historical definition:
During the Napoleonic wars, due to the lack of able seamen, sailors were recruited (press-ganged) by being paid a sign up fee - 1 King's Shilling.
Reluctant conscripts would be approached by one or more 'recruiters' who would ply them with alcohol until they were totally drunk. They would then hit them over the head with a 'cudgel' and place a King's Shilling in the drunkard's pocket. The inebriate would then be carried on board where they were woken up and convinced that they had joined in good faith. Any argument against the join would be discredited by the discovery of the King's Shilling.
Modern Usage
Discreet gay proposition.
