Improvised prison comfort food.
This comfort food can be made using ingredients that can be purchased at a prison commissary. One common example is a bag of Fritos Corn-chips with canned chili poured over the Fritos while still in the bag — the bag being split open from top to bottom being used as a plate/container for the “Zoo Pie”.
But, they are many variants including using crispy ramen noodles, potato chips, kettle chips, or pretzels. The only limitations are creativity and having money put into your commissary fund by the four “F’s”: friend, family, fellow gang members, or a faithful wife or lover who hasn’t yet succumbed to loneliness and infidelity while you are inside. Commissary can also be deposited through lucrative prison activity outside of the scope of this definition.
The concept enters popular culture through the final season of Atlanta season 4 episode 1 where it is used as a clue to a scavenger hunt that leads Paper Boi to a “pop up memorial service” for experimental rapper Blue Blood.
Blue Blood was famous — in life — for dropping hints for impromptu concerts and appearances. Paper Boi hears the term “Zoo Pie” in the lyric of a Blue Boy song and orders one — not knowing what it is — from the BBQ joint shouted out in the Blue Boi rap song.

Man! I’ve been out for a minute but I still like to eat me a Zoo Pie now that I’m home. It’s one of the best memories of being inside. Everybody can’t make themselves a Zoo Pie. You have to have commissary to eat them joints!!!!!!

Get the pineaples mug.pile-o-tricks — How the word “politics” is said in Black Barber Shops in major metropolitan urban centers. The use of this word recognizes the “Charlie Brown” reality that “Lucy will move the American ball” whenever any minority group makes progress.
*** More women, and minorities in college: change the admission rules — pile-o-tricks!!!!!
*** More women in the workforce and not at home: change the abortion laws — pile-o-tricks!!!!!!
*** More minority voting: gerrymandering —pile-o-tricks!!!!!!!!!
*** Develop a work skill: the fine fine print of your contract has a non-competition clause. You can’t do the same job in 200 mile radius of your place of employment for more money — PILE-O-TRICKS!!!!!!
*** Too many immigrants: ignore the poem Emma Lazarus poem: New Colossus on the Statue of Liberty — PILE-O-TRICKS!!!!!
*** White Domestic Terrorism: Boys will be boys —PILE-O-TRICKS!!!!!!!!!!
It’s almost certain that no matter which side of the “football” you’re on; you can come up with your own examples. Just say the quiet part out loud!
The Charlie Brown analogy is based on the theory that Charlie Brown is a high-yellow Black child with Alopecia Areata — remember, we never see any of the parents in any Peanuts comics or cartoons. Prove me wrong.
Do the research!!!!!
And remember: “Grit your teeth Charlie Brown; lace up your shoes; screw up your determination; and, GRIT YOUR TEETH!!!!! Kick that ball Charlie Brown…KICK THAT BALL!!!!!!!!

It’s all pile-o-tricks and lawyers man! I found a tech job just like mine making twice as much money. Aced the interview and the test only to find out that my company has me under a non-competition contract; and, I can’t be hired by another company. They called where I worked and I got fired because they found out I was looking for a job. Pile-o-tricks, man…PILE-O-TRICKS.

Get the pile-o-tricks mug.German slang for penis. Less offensive insult and can be compared to the english term 'Wiener'. The word gained popularity in 2021 after a German politican was called a 'Pimmel' by a twitter user, resulting in a raid of that user's house by the police. The incident caused outrage by other users and politicians, as well as an onslaught of Memes, calling the measure unreasonable for such a minor insult.
