A medium-weight, plain-weave fabric with a plaid or check pattern. Word derived from Italy "Ging-gang" meaning "striped". Medium or fine yarns of varying quality are used to obtain the checks, plaids, stripes, and plain effects. The cloth is yarn dyed or printed. The warp and the filling are usually balanced and if checks of two colors, usually same sequence in both the warp and the filling. It is strong, substantial, and serviceable. It launders well but low textured, cheap fabric may shrink considerably unless preshrunk.

Sheepherder: 'Mister, I don't want no trouble. I just came downtown here to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about ten rolls a week of that stuff.

Getting off to either a certain fabric pattern, or to seeing a cute chick wearing a dress of said "country tablecloth" design.
Horny stud: I always have a major ginghasm within seconds of seeing any pretty farmer's daughter wearing dat simple-but-elegant basket-weave pattern, and so in order to not "waste my load" and make a huge mess in my shorts, I hastily ask said colorfully-clad cutie to lift up her nice cross-striped skirt and spread her legs for me so dat I can "deposit my eruption in da right place".

Side Quest 

Any period of time where you and your friends go out without initial purpose or expectations. Usually in the early hours of the morning or late at night, side quests last as long as everyone is still out away from their home, dorm, or common meeting space. Side quests usually happen after a "main quest," scheduled hang out or party and usually feature less people than the original main quest.

Collective 600 pound gorilla 

A group of people that rolls 600 pounds deep, which is really no different than if one person acted like the 600 pound gorilla all by themself, it's just bullying spread around a group to fuck with somebody. Just like each person has an asshole, and to some degree is an asshole, a collective 600 pound gorilla has a collective asshole so that no one person has to take responsibility for being the asshole or the one who said this or that.
The collective 600 pound gorilla was punching its chest, showing who the alphas were.
