G Ho is the street name of Garden Home Recreation Center, located at the most white suburb wanna be gangster west edge of Portland (P-town), bordering Beaverton (Beavertron, the Tron).

Since its on the border of Beavertron and P-town, Beavertron cops don't roll through, and P-town cops don't realize that G Ho is still P-town, leaving G Ho a no-mans land of straight up danger and ghetto gang banging, pee wee soccer, and kids after school clubs.

"To G Ho" may be used as a verb, meaning to go to Garden Home Rec Center to meet up with friends to play basketball, soccer, other sports, or smoke crystal meth. "To be G Ho" can also be used to identify an individual living within the boundaries of the G Ho area who embodies the G Ho culture.

G Ho proper has prominent neighbors such as Lamb's Thriftway, Shell, Dairy Queen, 7-11, and Shari's Restaurant.

The true G Ho area boundaries are commonly considered SW Scholls Ferry Rd to the west, the Vermont St intersection to the north, Taylors Ferry Rd to the south, and Multnomah Village to the east. Those to the east of the Beavertron School District line are less legit and should seldom be trusted.
Noun:
Man1 was passing through G Ho when he saw Man2 on the sidewalk being the G Ho thug that he is.

Verb(1):
"Hey lets G Ho at 4:20"
"Sweet, I'll call the G Ho crew and bring a ball"

Verb(2):
1-"I live near Garden Home"
2-"You mean G Ho? What school district are you in?"
1-"Portland"
2-"I dunno if you're G Ho"

"You Can't spell Ghetto without G Ho"

G's up, Ho's down 

This comes from the streets, man! Often referred to in rap songs. It indicates the need to have the gangsters "up" or on top of things, and keep the Ho's (bitches) down. Thought to have originated from pimps who would say it to indicate their whores were on their backs making the money for the pimps. Often said when greeting a fellow G, or upon entering a room or party. Meant to re-assure
G1: Greetings. G's up, ho's down.
G2: Fo' shizzle, ma' nizzle. Word.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
