That's the summation of this place based on an actual establishment. I get the sense the hoakey small town center like any old thyme town center has been abandoned to tiny gift shops while the suburbs were built up around it. Life there is a purgatory for grown up suburban kids where they drive from their apartment block to a gas station, to a office block, to Applebees, and back again. They watch Netflix and wait to die, keeling over from a broken heart 2 weeks after retirement realizing what I just said.
"You're 47 years old. It's finally time you get your own apartment."
"Ok mom, I'll move to Vancouver, Washington. Can I borrow the car?"
a man’s hairstyle that is bald on the top but with long stringy hair hanging over the collar in the back (elderhostel up front, party in the back)
This is a modification of the 80’s mullet. It is worn by the diehard that refuses to give up the long hair that he sported back in high school.
Bob: Did you see Jim Rickards on Fox Business talking about the demise of the US Dollar?
Dave: Is that the guy with the waning mullet?
Bob: Yeah, that’s him.
It's when a mafioso, OG or gangsta puts a phonebook on someone's chest and fires a medium velocity handgun right against it. Thick phonebooks are known to stop .22, .45, and .38 bullets. It's common practice among goodfellas.
That guy got a Wiseguy Warning, he payed his dues not too long after. Rocco was ordered to give the guy a Wiseguy Warning.
Never trust a woman wearing a belt with her outfit (not on her trousers but a belt that comes with a top or jacket that crosses at the stomach)
I went on a date with a woman and she was wearing a very nice almost see through white top with a belt and had a black lace bra underneath
She looked to be fairly flat chested but what I didn't realise until later that evening was that her breasts were coming from underneath the bra and then being secured by her belt. Her nipples were literally poking out from under the belt at the same level as her belly button
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
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.
