Yellow Bird

A signal or warning. Miners used to bring yellow birds (canaries) in the mines with them to detect poisonous gases. The birds had more delicate systems than the miners so when the birds got sick or died the miners knew there were poisonous gasses and they had to get out of there.

The Bright Eyes song "you're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for".

The Baby bird

After someone has a ridicules number of double shots of eggnog on the Opie and Anthony show, someone else will lay flat on their back while the eggnog-shooter projectile vomits into the lying persons mouth.
The act of doing this was dubbed "The baby bird" by comic Joe Rogan due to its similarities to a mama bird pre-eating, then feeding a baby bird

AKA "Sea of (screaming) laughter"

Early Bird

The ultimate way to start an all-day binge. Refers to being up and drunk within 4-6 AM and staying up for the entire day (until you would normally go to bed on a drinking day, sometimes taking you to 24 hours). Make sure you have atleast 1 great drinking ally or several drinking buddies for this veritable marathon of booze. Its lesser relatives are the 'Rise and Souse' and the 'AM attack'

You: I had a killer Saturday, it was a bonafide Early Bird. 24 hours of heavy drinking insanity.

Well-Informed Cockney Englishman: Remarkable! Nothin like getting shined to the tits, eh? Right proper job mate, you flunk your booze like a reg'lar champine.

You: Right on.
