delco tuxedo

A delco tuxedo is a system of dress popularized in Delaware county, particularly those communities east of Springfield and south of Drexel Hill (although the tuxedo is not as common in communities north of Drexel Hill, it has been seen in certain sections of Havertown, hardmore, and Drexel Hill itself). The tuxedo varies by season, and is characterized as best:

Spring/Summer Delco tuxedo featuring Notre Dame Fighting Irishman (on right calf), jean shorts or Jordan Brand basketball shorts, Timberland Boots or Jordan Brand sliders (typically Carolina blue), beater or baggy white t-shirt or Catholic grade school t-shirt (with sleeves cut off; e.g. a St. Eugene alumnus).

Fall/Winter Delco Tuxedo featuring baggy sweatpants (typically a light, never a heather, gray-also, spitter and cigs protruding from left and right pockets respectively), Bonner Rugby Sweatshirt (the green stench is always represented), and Timberland Boots (if there is no snow outside, an expensive pair of Jordan Brand sneakers can be substituted)

The delco tuxedo is NOT to be confused with delco sunday best, an entirely different (albeit similar) system of raiment. Additionally, in protestant sections of delaware county, mainly those accessible via Lancaster Avenue, the inter-ac tuxedo is the dominant system of dress.
There is nothing better than Memorial Day Weekend in Wildwood with my brothers from Delaware County. We all get to prance around with our freshly minted irish man tattoos, and can finally trade our Timbs for some fresh Jordan slides, a pure delco tuxedo.

Deacy

The Deacy is a small, Germanium transistor amplifier which was made from an old speaker by bassist John Deacon for use by Brian May when recording multiple guitar parts on Queen albums. An important part of the Brian May Tone.
Many Queen songs use the Deacy amplifier, but one of the best is the song 'Good Company' on 'A Night at the Opera' where the jazz-band effect is actually created by Brian May playing many, many guitar overdubs.

Death-Count Delay

In any given pandemic with exponential spread, the period of time that exists between reported cases and the onset of increased mortality.
Like I said, the increased case counts are just because of all the great testing we're doing; there has been no increase in death reported and soon there will be zero cases. We've got this TOTALLY under control.
Ummm, Sir...seems like we should wait 2-3 weeks for the Death-Count Delay before taking that victory lap.

Delcie

The craziest person you will ever meet (and no I’m not exaggerating). Your Netflix buddy and poker playing bestie. Kind to “most” people. And will be one of the few to survive the zombie apocalypse. All in all, beautiful, kindish, weird, funny, and great personality.
