An insult coined by democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg in a series of tweet exchanges between himself and President Donald Trump in 2020. Both are from New York.
Michael combines two insults. A carnival barker is an employee in cheap showy clothes, "barks" (yells) to attract patrons. He is usually position in a stand in front of decrepit attractions, such as freak shows and erotic dance shows.
"Clown" is just added as a typical New York put-down.
@realDonaldTrump
- we know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune & squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence.
I have the record & the resources to defeat you. And I will.
Uncommon British slang. Slightly insulting way of saying "using your head" or "use your brains"
Mutton Jeff is Cockney rhyming slang for deaf, or someone who refuses to listen,
Jugs refers to jug handles, meaning your ears.
What's between your ears? Your head.
"Spot on. That's using the old loaf, mutton jugs."
Or in American English: "You're right. Way to use the old gray matter, meat head."
"Hip pocketed" means keeping anything around for easy access.
A technician may keep a Swiss Army knife in their hip pocket, just in case.
It does imply the person carrying the thing has complete control of it, so if someone's in you hip pocket, it means they are in complete control of another person.
It's become popular in Hollywood for an agent to "hip pocket" an aspiring actor or writer.
The talent may say an agent is "hip pocketing" them. It's not the best or optimal professional relation, but as they say "something is better than nothing."
A producer sends a script to an agent, if the agent doesn't have a client that fits the role, he may give a "hip pocketed" actor the script, and a verbal guarantee that the script was authorized by the producer.
For a writer, it is reversed. You informally give an agents scripts. If a producer asks for a particular idea, the agent may give the producer the writer's script.
If the actor gets the role or the writer sells his script, they sign paperwork and become a client. If not, the agent may continue "hip pocketing" you, sticking to verbal agreements only.
It sucks to live in LA. I'm 30 years old, and agents keep hip pocketing me.

Combination of the drug Zanax/Xanax and Grandpa. It's an old guy who looks good. Simalar to "a silver fox", but more street cool.
Coined by late night host Stephen Colbert, when talking about "Faceapp", a dodgy Russian phone app which creates an aged version from any photo.

The biggest trend buzz this week is the social media craze "FaceApp." You upload a photo of yourself and it shows you what you'd look like way older. Everyone is doing it, including me. Got to say "Not bad. Hello Zandpa."
Now this is the only fun thing to happen this week, so of course there's a nefarious dark side...
Summary: Russians own all your personal information on your phone legally forever.
Called a sucker punch in the US, a King punch is the same thing throughout the UK and former colonies. A person uses a fist to punch a victim without warning, often from behind, and usually to the back of the head. It's extremely dangerous to the victim, even fatal.
The news said he was charged with murder, after using a king punch during a bar brawl.
Using "poly" is ill-advised. It could mean polyamorous, but it could be the very racist shorthand for Polynesian. If you say it around anyone from the Pacific, you might get punched.
"Those steam punks are all poly."
"What did you just say?"
"I said they're all poly. They like to sleep around."
"Oh wow. You're racist as fuck."

Methamphetamine is commonly sold in standard weights known as "points", "grams" and "ounces". Points are also known as "Dots", "P's" or "Spot bags". Point bags are small plastic bags that measure approximately 2.5cm x 3.5cm. They come in a wide range of patterns.
The police searched me and found the point bags.
