Old Bamboo

The "Old Bamboo" endearingly refers to a long bamboo stick famously coined by Dick Van Dyke in his breakout role in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang through the song "Me ol' bamboo". More colloquially, the old bamboo can refer to a penis experiencing erectile dysfunction, possibly due to age related illness.

"Sorry love, me old bamboo don't work the way it used to"

bamboo-zled

Tricked into thinking you’re getting real bamboo when it’s actually just some cheap crappy imitation (think, using dried marsh-grass blades or cattail leaves for creating a basket, lamp-shade, or mat/curtain, instead of da genuine natural-plastic woven slats).

I hired a fly-by-night landscaper to plant a “tubular grass” fringe around my house, but the lyin’ shyster just stuck in a weedy thicket of Japanese knotweed --- I got seriously bamboo-zled on THAT deal!

bamboo republic

The Chinese version of a banana republic. A fake communist socialist economy that is in fact capitalist in nature, whereby the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class.

China and many of the Global South countries that follow their economic example are merely bamboo republics.
