(pronounced O-con-o-mo-wok)
An Indian word that originally meant "falling water", currently the name of a mid-sized town in southern Wisconsin, almost directly inbetween Madison & Milwaukee.
Oconomowoc is best known for its unique & unpronounceable (to those outside of Wisconsin) name. Geographically, it's a beautiful town with more than its fair share of lakes, parks & beautiful homes. Socially, it's a stereotypical Lynchian nightmare of seething angst & frustration which bubbles just below the surface. Anyone who believes that Americans do not embrace class prejudice (like our British cousins) are invited to spend some time there to see first-hand just how important one's tax-bracket is to their community standing.
It also helps to be a staunch Catholic, but in word, not deed.

Pat: Be sure you've got your fishing license, dude. They'll actually come out to your boat & ask to see it.
Dave: Fuckin' fish Nazi's.

A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.
Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.

A rich yuppie white town in southeastern Wisconsin. Beautiful scenery with stuck up snobs polluting the natural beauty.
Do you want to go to Oconomowoc after work? No thanks, I got enough weird looks from people at work today.
