A popular main road strip, and now teen hang-out, on the southside of Cape Cod MA where decades ago there were a string of kiddnappings. Hence the name "Snatch" Alley.
Name of a 4-piece rock band from South Weymouth, Massachusetts that played local area school dances and won a "Battle of the Bands" in Hingham, MA. This is 1971-1973 timeframe. The band name comes from a place in West Dennis on Cape Cod where most of the band members hung out during the summer: "Snatch Alley". (Generally speaking, Old Wharf Road at Glendon Road Beach. See "The Snatch Alley" for a more detailed description of the place.)
Six bands competed to win the Battle of the Bands, but after Snatch Alley finished their set, the judges just threw the trophy at them!
Old Wharf Road in Dennisport Ma. called this not because of kidnappings but because of the availablity of young girls in large amounts all looking for boys in hot cars. It was a reference to the desired part of the young womans anatomy, It has been called this for as long as i have been alive and at least into the early forties according to cousins older than I it was a stretch of road that ran between several "campgrounds" Large groups of cabins that had started out as tent sights and has turned into cabin villages. these were often rented out for family vacations and all the kids would go out at night and wander on "snatch alley"
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.
Short-hand for the word floccinaucinihilipilification, meaning the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).
