Black Magpie Theory

The belief by pirates in the 1500's and 1600's that black magpies native to the Caribbean would detect and seek out the fermenting alcohol of naturally occurring molasses from sugar cane plants which produced natural rum. During specific times of the year, P. hudsonia would roost in the Caribbean during migration. The migration traverse would lead the birds to search high energy food. Of particular interest to pirates was rum. The pirates would watch the seasonal migration patterns of the birds as well as roosting locations in hopes of finding free alcoholic booty to trade on the high seas as well as use for personal inebriation. The alcohol was easily captured and stored for ocean voyages.

Currently being used as slang for people too cheap to buy their own liquor when going to parties who steal from others.
The Jolly Roger is circling the east coast of that island because of the Black Magpie Theory.

Darker than Black

Used to describe a story that is so hopeless, grim and edgy that it becomes aggravating. The worst examples of these are stories where the characters are also really bland and you stop caring about what happens because you know everyone's going to have a terrible end anyway.
I stopped reading your novel because it was darker than black and I lost interest in everyone because I know it will end horribly.

too black to drive

Occurs when a vehicle operator is too preoccupied with his or her own ethnicity to adhere to or care about local driving laws and regulations; "keeping it real", checking the status of one's weave or afro, adjusting the ridiculously loud car stereo, or making sure that others are aware of his or her presence, or all of the above, supercedes safe driving practices.
If I turned up my bump that loud, I'd be too black to drive too.

Is that guy having a stroke or is he just too black to drive?

What an asshole! Either she wants me to slap the hell out of her or she's just too black to drive.
