1. The fourteenth song on Tom Waits' 1999 album, Mule Variations.
2. A term for any strange or disgusting new
food. If you can't figure out a
food's
name or ingredients, you may call it this.
Rattle snake piccata with grapes and figs
Old brown Betty with a
yellow wig
Tain't the mince meat filagree
And it ain't the turkey
neck stew
And it ain't them bruleed okra seeds
Though she made them especially for you
Worse won a prize for her
bottom black pie
The beans got thrown to the dogs
Jaheseus Christ, I can always make room
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
