Ring Around The Rosey

1. A classic Nursery Rhyme always sung in preschools, day cares, and kindergarten classes all over.
2. One of the most gothic songs ever.

Although never confirmed, this seemingly harmless nursery rhyme is believed by many people to refer to the Black Plague in Europe during the Middle Ages. It seems quite strange, and even a little scary for 5 year old kids to be singing to this song.

Here's a breakdown of the song:

Ring Around the Rosey(victims of the plague would usually have a red, swollen ring around their eyes)

A pocket full of posies(people would carry flowers in their pockets to cover the lingering smell of death, and some people even thought they would ward off the disease)

Ashes, Ashes(this refers to the fact that they would take dead bodies and people suffering from the disease, throw them in pits, and burn their bodies to slow down the spread of the disease)

We all fall down(basically this means death)

Ring around the Rosey.
A pocket full of posies.
Ashes, Ashes.
We all fall down.

The thought of innocent children singing this song in their nursery schools is pretty bone chilling.

Ring around the Rubber 

The ring that is embedded on your wallet from having a condom in there for a period of more than 6 months.

This happens when you try to prove to your friends, or anybody that you get laid. You occasionally pull it out to show someone, but stupidly put it back in the same place so it can make an indent in your wallet.

This is usually prevelent in the High School age group. For some reason, future computer science Majors and Dungeons and Dragons' Players seem to have a high instance.

My mom still does my laundry. I had to quickly get my wallet out of my pants before she saw the Ring around the Rubber.

Ring Around the Congo 

Interstate 285, the beltway around Atlanta, Georgia. So-called because Atlanta is a majority black city with an African American mayor and thus is characterized as "The Congo," a large country in Africa. (Trucker usage)

"I'm a-heading to Charlotte, good-buddy, speedballing all the way on 85."

"Roger, that. Due to traffic conditions south-southeast, which is blocked up tighter than a faggot's ass during a Sunday sermon, I suggest you take the northern artery of the Ring Around the Congo."

"Roger that, good buddy."
