carry-on

A carry-on is when you, and others if you like, go out drinking on say a friday night and you roll in to the next day and even the next night still getting on it, whether it a drug fuelled binge or a alcohol binge, both are classed as a carry-on.

Carry-ons (if your hardcore) can last for several days.
Dave: 'lisshen Steve, It'z 2pm now and weeez gotta meet Leo at the pub at 6pm so we may aswell do a carry-on.'

Steve: 'O shit yeah! Repent and carry-on!'

Corky

An American president in office from 2001 thru 2009, so nick-named due to his resemblance to an 80s TV character of the same name from the hit TV series "Life Goes On".
Person A: Check it out. Corky's on the TV.

Person B: I thought that series was off the air since 1993.

Person A: Not that Corky. The other one.

carry on

A series of knockabout comedy films made in England and aimed at parochial audiences, but which gathered a worldwide cult following among Anglophile comedy fans. Thirty films were made between 1958 and 1978 (1992's 'Carry On Columbus' was a misguided attempt at reviving the brand for a modern audience, and is best forgotten) and featured a core cast of regulars, including Sidney James, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Connor, Kenneth Williams, Bernard Bresslaw and Peter Butterworth. The best series instalments are generally thought to be Carry On Cleo, Carry On Camping, Carry On Up the Khyber and Carry On At Your Convenience, whilst the worst are usually cited (not without good reason) as Carry On Jack, Carry On England and Carry On Emmannuelle. The series lives on through DVD releases, edited compilations and a strong internet presence.
