Time marches on

The frenzied scramble for change at a toll booth when one realizes that there is no money in the vehicle console. Usually involves digging with one's hands around the seat in hopes that some change will be discovered.

A.k.a. "balky bowel". Refers to where you remain sitting on da porcelain throne for a long time in an attempt to get "that last bit" to come out, but no dice... you're obliged to "pay a toll of toilet-paper" to progress any further, in that you hafta actually wipe yourself to get said "stubborn blob" to make its messy exit. But then, of course (and ONLY then --- again, you can have worked your sphincter muscles all you please, but the remaining poop still won't budge) you will discover that there are still some of Ollie North's "residuals" up inside your anus, and so you will hafta use even more of your precious costly Scott 1000-sheet roll to wipe repeatedly till you finally get it all out.

The dollar amount that a prostitute charges for sex.

A public High school in Warwick, Rhode Island. Student population of about 1,200. It’s all the kids who went to Cedar Hill, Drumrock, Greenwood, Scott, Wickes, and Robertson combined. You go to middle school at Winman Junior High School if you live in the Toll Gate District. Most of the teachers here suck at their jobs, with the exception of a handful. Out of the three public schools in Warwick, Toll Gate probably has the nicest campus, which isn't saying much considering minimal renovations have been made since it opened in the early 70's. There is a separate hallway for every grade’s lockers, with seniors getting their own in a separate building from the other three classes. The sports at TG are usually decent, with one or two Division I teams. Best football team in the town besides Hendricken.During the school year, fights happen about once a week, usually between some freshman kids who think their badass over a girl or something else stupid. There is a cop specially assigned to this school because of it, as well as the constant smoking and drug use there. Some of the kids who go here say they hate it, but once you become a senior and realize you’ll have to leave most students start to like it. The kids at Toll Gate know how to party and get away with doing things against the (very few) rules there, so most of the time there is a way to have a good time.

A rule used primarily in stand up comedy which assesses a comedian's ability to make jokes about a recent tragedy. The basic rule is: as long as the death toll is rising, jokes are out of bounds. The rule is commonly broken by many comedians as we all know jokes surrounding tragedies are the funniest.

As soon as the toll stops the subject becomes open for comedy, as seen in many recent tragedies.

Someone who has a small insignificant amount of power like a toll booth operator feels the need to exert there power absolutely. Even in a ridiculous circumstance.
