rave funk 

Refers to the soiled, vestigial mixture of dirt, sweat, spit, and other substances or liquids collected at the bottom of one's Jncos, Kikwears, or other wide-legged pant cuffs at the end of a night, or early morning, of partying or raving, particularly in a warehouse. Other materials collected on pant cuffs include globs of chewed gum, or even stickers that have come off candy ravers' sweaty faces and fallen to the floor. Rave funk is often accompanied by a dreadful scent mixing perspiration, mud, wet feet, Vicks Vapo Rub, or perhaps lotion, if one was rolling around in an e-puddle earlier that night.

After we emerged from the Home Base warehouse into the parking lot at 8 a.m. after a long, bass-filled night of San Francisco trance, I looked down as I dragged my Adidas Shell-Toes across the pavement and realized I had rave funk covering the bottoms of my pants.

Rapebank 

A better name for the city of Burbank, Los Angeles. Credit is shared by many but it can probably best be pinned down to native Los Angelean Adam Carolla

The addition of the term "Rape" comes from the allegation that the city's police force is the most likely in all of the United States to give chickenshit tickets for road offenses. The police in Burbank, Carolla says, seem to revel in giving out frivolous tickets for jaywalking offenses, driving against left turn arrows, and the like.
Oh, look. I got yet another $180 jaywalking ticket because the crossing light turned red while I was 3/4 of the way across. I should have known not to cross the road; I was in Rapebank.
