candy flip

Practice popular at raves of taking ecstasty and LSD simultaneously. (A British band, Candy Flip, popular in the 1990s, was named after this practice).

It looks like EVERYONE here, except the cops at the doorway handing out water, did a candy flip.

gerbilling

(vb) An imagined act, (obviously homophobic in origin) in which people (presumably gay men) engage in sexual thrills by inserting a live de-clawed gerbil into the anus of the other person (by the means of a tube). Urban legend asserts the frantic movement of the poor furry creature trying to escape causes sexual stimulation. Although the rumors of this practice have been around since the early 1980s, with thousands of Google references to this, not one documented case of the practice exists. Reference to "gerbilling" is nearly always done with knowledge that the tale is false; it is simply a malicious and hostile disparagement of gay people.

Out of all the internet references swearing to the veracity of gerbilling, it is telling that in almost instances, purveyors of the rumors are

Anonoynmous peddling of trashy rumors meant to disparage is really chickenshit. It is about the lowest thing a person can do. (This entry is NOT ANONYNOMOUS -- if you have a problem with it, please feel free to contact me.)

bitch slap

To disrespectfully slap someone in the face with an open hand. The implication is that the person being slapped is not manly enough to be worthy of a real punch. Term is used figuratively to mean putting someone in their place (or diss) in no uncertain terms.

A figurative example: Al Franken was on TV last night and bitch slapped Bill O'Reilly.

When you bitch slap someone, you make them a punk.

Those silks look good, man. What they set you back?

eighty-six

Restaurant lingo meaning "take an item off the menu." By extension it can also mean to get rid of almost anything (including doing away with somebody). The Urbandictionary entry attributing the term to the 1980s is erroneous. I worked as a short order cook in the late 1960s and it was in use in a half dozen NewYork city joints where I worked. Oldtimers say the term was around in the 1940s and that the derivation is Article 86 of the New York Liquor Code which describes the circumstances under which liquor should be withheld from a customer.

Restaurant manager: "we ran out of chipped beef . . . eighty-six the shit on a shingle."

andro-dyke

Gay slang abbreviation for “androgynous dyke.” A lesbian who is neither “lipstick” or “butch”, ie., neither overly masculine or feminine. The term "andro-look" and simply "andro" are also commonly used.

Andro-dyke self-identification can be traced to the 1970s.
