ghetto palm

Ailanthus Altissima, a tree that is commonly found growing in abandoned lots and around poorly-maintained properties. When young, looks somewhat like a palm tree, with a long trunk with a tuft of leaves at the top.

A grove of ghetto palms were growing out of the cracks in the asphalt around the old parking lot.

peeance freeance

A phrase made up by Dubya, used to refer to Iraq. From context, it apparently has a positive connotation, but is distinct in meaning from "secure". Most likely means something to the effect of "peaceful and free".

A peeance freeance secure Iraq in the midst of the Middle East will have enormous historical impact.

lluo

Nonsense word combining the Welsh "ll" sound (as in lloyd) and the Mandarin Chinese "uo" dipthong. Pronounced in the first tone (high, flat). Used as an exclamation, but does not express any particular emotion. Can be said for no reason.

lluo! lluo!
