a really low paying job, like a Mcjob. A job that only brings in, if your lucky 2/3 of what you need to live on a month. But you keep it because there isn't much else out there.
Another way of saying someone isn't playing with a full deck, aka someone who's not too bright. The phrase comes from the fact that pinochle is played with only 48 cards in a standard 52 card deck. Therefore, while playing pinochle, one is literally not playing with a full deck.
"You know how Jason had to take a DNA test to see if he's the father of Cassandra's baby? Well, he asked why she didn;t have to take a DNA test to see if she was the mother. My god, what a pinochle player."
Another word for having sex. Some people may remember this wird from the episode from Futurama. In that episode, the Doctor tries to seduce the controller from an old woman called "Mom" in order to save the world from a robot attack.
A joke popular with people who oppose communism or socialism (or otherwise any kind of planned economy), referencing how former Chilean army general, Augusto Pinochet was notorious for throwing the dead bodies of commies into the ocean out of a helicopter.

Dictator who ruled Chile with an iron fist from 1973 to 1990. Pinochet headed the military junta that controlled the country after a coup that deposed the democratically elected president Salvador Allende. During his reign, Pinochet ordered the violent suppression of all political opposition to his government. A commission determined that his military and government were responsible for human rights violations, including more than 2,000 deaths and untold numbers of disappearances.
All opposition parties were banned, the press was censored and dissidents up and down the country were abducted and executed without trial. The notorious Caravan of Death, an Army death squad flew the length of the country by helicopter in October 1973, extinguishing 97 influential opposition figures. Even dissidents that had fled the country were not out of Pinochet’s reach. Operation Condor, tracked the numerous Chileans that had fled into exile. No-one was safe from Pinochet’s paranoid anti-communist drive. General Prats, Augusto Pinochet’s predecessor in the role of Commander in Chief, was killed in Buenos Aires in 1974.
Pinochet is pronounced Pino – Chay. The t is silent.
