We prefunked in our hotel room, then we went to the club. After the club closed we went back to the room to refunk till dawn. Boom.

Redundies

"Redundant Undies"

Underpants that have gone well past their use-by date, yet stubbornly hang around, taking up valuable space in your smalls drawer - too worn to wear, but much too loved to throw away.

"The President and his wife ... they can refudiate what this group (the NAACP) is saying." - Sarah Palin, on F-F-Fox News
