walking the bar

The practice of rhythm and blues horn players (quintessentially tenor sax players) to literally get up on the bar during a tune and walk it from one end to to the other, riffing and honking. Typical in the 1940's and 50's, it was deemed a display of machismo and virtuosity.

A friend of mine reported seeing tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet walking the bar in St. Louis. He moved along. playing and kicking over drinks as he went. One patron, objecting to the endeavor, pulled a switchblade knife out and stuck it into the bar in Illinois' path. When Jacquet came to that spot, he peered over his horn at the knife, turned around, and continued to play as he retraced his path.

C Bar

Having or spending $100. C stands for "centum" the Latin word for 100. Bar stands for a bundle of bills. A C bar is different from a C note because it is multiple bills.

I dropped a c bar when I bought these pants.

My iPhone cost 4 C bars.

10 C bars = 1 G bar

bar wife

a female friend- not relative- that acts as your girlfriend/ wife, on nights that you were either too lame to get a date, or just cant get one. a bar wife can be used for a cover against a fat or ugly girl, but also as a wing man. And of course the night will end with no sex.

guy "hey, ashley wanna come be my bar wife tonight?"
girl "sure, but your not getting laid, and have to buy my drinks."
guy "i, know."

barred VCR

An any-tape VCR turned to a VCR only for a porno when a porn tape is in the VCR and it gets stepped on.

I'll tell you the tale of barred vcr... Once R was home alone watching a barred and he forgot to take it out. The VCR was sitting on the floor when his mom stepped on it. It became a permanent porno-VCR... hence: barred VCR.

Dude, does Dan still have barred VCR?
