hill of beans

In U.S. Marine jargon, comparative for something worthless when you can't say "isn't worth shit" or "isn't worth a rat's ass"

This equipment isn't worth a hill of beans, sir.

UFO

Unidentified Flying Object. Originally a catchall term for anything flying that could not be identified by Civil Air Patrol observers during World War 2. Since then, taken over by lunatics that believe that for some reason, advanced alien civilizations have come to earth, are studying our assholes, and make contact with Roscoe and Billy Bob near their moonshine still in West Virginia. See buy a fucking vowel.

Dang, Billy Bob, give me some of that thar yor drinkin and I might see me some UFO's too! Hot Damn!

potzrebie

Mad magazine equivalent of the computer programmer's foo, that is, a word which can be used to stand in for any other (as in, for example, fictitious brand names, etc.)

The label said to induce vomiting, so I applied the Potzrebie maneuver.

I'm sorry, Ms. Jones, we're going to have to charge you $500 dollars for this repair... your, uh, Potzrebie device was broken. Yeah.

on blocks

Taken from the practice of leaving a car which has been thoroughly stripped up on concrete blocks. Something is said to be 'on blocks' when one comes back and finds it has been ransacked thoroughly.

I told you not to let anyone in--now my whole room's up on blocks!

Wait til Oscar gets back and finds his DVD collection up on blocks . . .

bel air

Boring ass town in Maryland where the highlight is Harford Mall which is the smallest piece of shit mall I've ever seen. Kids drive around all day pretending to have somewhere to go and occassionally hang out in a parking lot and talk about their cars with loud mufflers. The girls are snobby sluts who start having sex at 13. Everyone has had atleast 1 STD that they all get from the same person. Everyone is an alcoholic because there's nothing else to do and most white kids think they're black.

hey i just copped some phat ass gonja u tryin to smoke?

eight ball

The problem person in the group, or one who stands out.

Well, we had a good turnout of volunteers--if you disregard that one 8-ball who smelled like a goat.

What the?!? Why do I get stuck dealing with all the 8-balls around here?

turd knocker

Military slang term for gay male, referring to the act anal sex. Often used by military wives who have (or had) no idea what it means.

I tried going to the county commission, but the mayor is just some big fat turd knocker in a bad suit, and he won't help.
