homeboy ambulance

noun; A car which is used to drop off victims at a hospital or police station. The vehicle usually drives into the ambulance bay, or to the front of the hospital, where the patient is pushed out, and the 'homeboy ambulance' leaves quickly, without making any contact with hospital staff. Most patients dropped off by these 'homeboy ambulances' are gang members or hookers. Usually seen in urban areas and county hospitals.

Grass widow

When a woman becomes a widow NOT BECAUSE HER HUSBAND DIED but due to other circumstances. Those reasons may also include a husband (and father, if kids were involved) that leaves home abandoning his wife (and child/ren) never to return. The term "grass widow" was introduced in the 1920s/30s.

For years, Katie Moreland didn't tell her only son Meredith, that his father didn't in fact die. Lane Moreland didn't want to bear the responsibility of raising a family so young, so he packed up his stuff and left, leaving Katie a grass widow.
