Same as Cruisin' the Gut, though it wasn't limited to Appleton, Wisconsin. In the 1960s, teenagers in Battle Creek, Michigan, would "cruise the gut" or "go cruising the gut." They'd load their car with friends and drive slowly along Michigan Avenue, the main downtown shopping street on Friday and Saturday nights throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
As in Appleton, cruising the gut was primarily social, a chance to show off your car and how cool you were...and to eye everyone else, too.
These days, classic car collectors seem to have taken over the term. There's an annual "Cruise the Gut" event in Battle Creek, and a larger "Cruising the Gut" classic car show in Vancouver, Washington. Another regional variant is "Dragging the Gut," as celebrated in McMinnville, Oregon.

Get the cruising the gut mug.The name given to an event that occurred back in the mid-1990's when the game "Cornhole" became a popular pastime in Ohio and many residents of Kentucky began a mass migration across the state line in confusion, mistakenly believing that people were butt-fucking in the streets.
In actuality, Cornhole is a game in which you toss CORN-BAGS at a playing board, trying to score by either making your bag into the hole, or knocking your partners bag into the hole. You can also "block" a score by the opposing team by knocking your opponents bag off the game board.
Tough luck Billy Bob. Looks like your cousin Jeb better grease up!!

The cornhole crossing put a major strain on Kentucky's ky jelly industry, but Ohio got a boost in sales!

Get the crossing out mug.Crossing the Delaware is when you and your friend/partner board an airplane sitting in seats opposite one another across the isle with powdered wigs ready to be worn. It’s important to store said wigs until you’re in takeoff to avoid suspicion. Once the your plane begins takeoff and the fasten seat belt sign is on with no flight attendants in the isle, you and your buddy start by donning your wigs. Then, jack each other off another across the isle to full completion. If you can both finish before the flight attendants resume working in the isles, you have successfully crossed the Delaware. If not, America loses the revolutionary war. Move with purpose.
