Vine

In a sense taken from the music of Tom Waits, a vine is a man's life, and more specifically, his love life.

If one were to listen to the song Another Man's Vine, a song of envy and infidelity, you would hear that a man's lover is a rose on his vine, and when she is unfaithful...Another man picks that rose.

An excerpt from Another Man's Vine,
From the album Blood Money,
By Tom Waits-

"Golden Willie's gone to war
He left his young wife on the shore
Will she be steadfast everyday?
While Golden Willie's far away
Along the way her letters end
She never reads what Willie sends
I see a red rose
I smell a red rose
Red rose blooming
On another man's vine"

Heartattack

A term coined by Tom Waits. It's quite obviously just heart attack without a space, but it is taken to mean a life and death of shit and revelry. The word was used in the title for his 1980 album, Heartattack and Vine, which had a song of the same name.

An excerpt from Heartattack And Vine
From the album Heartattack And Vine
by Tom Waits,

"See that little Jersey girl in the see-through top
With the peddle pushers sucking on a soda pop
Well I bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty-five 'til nine
You can see a million of 'em on heartattack and vine

Better off in Iowa against your scrambled eggs
Than crawling down Cahuenga on a broken pair of legs
You'll find your ignorance is blissful every goddamn time
You're waitin' for the RTD on heartattack and vine"

Pastika

The Germans' fabled Nazi-era version of alphabet soup. It is said that instead of making the pasta into letters, it was made into Swastikas.

"Ok, one last little one I can't leave without saying. During World War Two, in Germany they had,like alphabet soup, only over there instead of the alphabet they had little tiny Swastikas. Made of pasta. They called it Pastika. I wouldn't shit you about that." Tom Waits in concert

OHSHIT moment

An OHSHIT moment is the instant between the pain and screaming, or the first time you smell Paris Hilton's cooch. (Maybe a mix of both.) Any sort of moment where you are bound to freak out has an OHSHIT, big or small. Here you may yell out a shitplitive, begin to cry, or crap yourself. Or all three.

(An example of an OHSHIT moment)

In Johnny's head-

'OHSHIT, definitely not having kids now.'

Future Fucked

Some who is future fucked or who is future fucking people up,

1. (n) Can be a kid from birth to 10 that follows current clothing, music, and television trends.

2. (v) Someone who forces all of the current trends upon their children or the children around them.

They will be idiots when they grow up, and they will have no real culture of their own.

1. Little Johnny knows all of the rappers, wears baggy jeans that show his boxers, he loves MTV, and he thinks he has bitches and homies. He's definitely Future Fucked.

2. Johnny's parents are Future Fucking him, by buying him gold chains instead of food, teaching him rap songs instead of grammar, have him watch MTV instead of Sesame Street, and letting him hang out with all the bad kids.

Frank's Wild Years

This album was Tom Wait's 1987 release. In all actuality, it was the soundtrack to a play of the same name that Waits had written and starred in, it was about a murderous accordion player. One of his most popular songs, Innocent When You Dream, is on the album. More Than Rain is here with I'll Be Gone, as well. It is a sad sort of album, but with plenty of up tempo music and a bit of old style jazziness to it.

An excerpt from Frank's Wild Years'
Straight Up To The Top (Rhumba)-

I'm going straight up to the top
Up where the air is fresh and clean
I know that I will never stop, no no
Until I know I'm wild and free
I'm like a champagne bubble
Pop pop pop
