Natalie Dokic 

An evil-spirited, hawk-nosed, blonde-headed CUNT!
Mike: Hey, man. I just met this girl for the third time, and she still forgot my name. She later went to the bar and hooked up with two guys that night. I don't hate on anyone, you know me, however, this chick's the definition of a cunt. Look her up on Urban Dictionary and her picture is there.

Joey: Bro, you're dealing with a Natalie Dokic. Blow it up and let her slut around.

Mike: Who said I was ever interested? I'm just really bothered. Oh, and I know a Natalie Dokic, she's a hawk-nosed cunt that needs ten pounds of make-up to look presentable.

Joey: Ah, what a coincidence. So we both know the cunt.

Mike: Sure do.

Joey: Dudes.

And with that Mike, Joey and the gang went off into the night.

Dorchester Mudslide 

A mixed drink created by mixing Nesquik with a nip of Baileys, preferably in the Nesquik bottle itself. Named for the notoriously crime ridden Dorchester neighborhood in Boston, the original home of the drink.
The cops have been cracking down on public drinking, so I've had to start subtley pounding back Dorchester Mudslides. Looks like Nesquik, tastes almost as good.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
