The sensation you have when eating large amounts of exceptionally delicious and extremely decadent cuisine. Basically, an orgasm brought on by eating great food.
Michael Winner: Waiter! This steak is diabolical. It is clearly medium rare when I specified medium! The pasta course was unimaginative and barely tepid, and as for the soup, it was redolent of a Montmartre fille du joie's vaginal secretions after a hard night's work.
Waiter: What do you expect in a Travelodge? Bloody gastrognome. *spits on desert*
A combination of the words gastronomy and catastrophe; a gastrotastrophe is meal so ruinous with grease, fat, salt and/or hot sauce that you can actually feel your stomach lining peel away like old wall paper, simply at the sight of it. A gastrotastrophe is the culinary equivalent of the kind of thing Harry Truman would order to end a war.
Gary ate 7 pork rind tacos last night and then washed it all down with 9 'Mocha-Madness Mountain Dews" and a funnel cake. It was a gastrotastrophe. He's still on the toilet with a bowl of ice.
A restaurant with a serious attitude to the food ('gastronomy') and a casual feel to the physical space and aesthetics.
I am really engaged with the gastrocasual trend occurring on the Los Angeles dining scene. Serious restaurateurs are placing innovative menus into relaxed, casual spaces. The aesthetics are stylish but casual, reflecting the attire of the consumer. Diners and patrons no longer want to dress up to enjoy fine dining, and creative chefs and restaurateurs are responding with great food in a relaxed space.
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texaswill vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
That ol' gal of mine drives the 12lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
