Black and Tan is a drink made from a blend of pale ale, usually Bass Pale Ale, and a dark beer such as a stout or porter, most often Guinness. Sometimes a pale lager is used instead of ale; this is usually called a half and half. Contrary to popular belief, however, Black and Tan as a mixture of two beers is not a drink commonly consumed in Ireland. Indeed, the drink has image problems in parts of Ireland and elsewhere due to the association with the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force which was sent into Ireland in the early 1920s and nicknamed the Black and Tans.
In the Republic of Ireland a Black and Tan is normally made from a half pint of Smithwick's topped off with Guinness. This version is also sometimes referred to as a "Blacksmith" or a "Light and Bitter". During the summer months stout drinkers may order a black and tan due to its lighter texture. Likewise ale drinkers may order a Smithwick's with a Guinness head. This is an ordinary pint of Smithwick's with the last inch or so topped off with Guinness.
Example (A Great Irish Song): I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums did beat,
And the loving English feet walked all over us;
And every single night, when me father'd come home tight,
He'd invite the neighbours outside with this chorus:
Chorus:
Oh, come out you Black and Tans;
Come out and fight me like a man;
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders;
Tell her how the I.R.A. made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes in Killeshandra.
Come, tell us how you slew
Them ol' Arabs two by two;
Like the Zulus, they had spears and bows and arrows;
How you bravely faced each one,
With your sixteen pounder gun,
And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow.
Chorus
Come, let us hear you tell
How you slandered great Parnell,
When you thought him well and truly persecuted,
Where are the sneers and jeers
That you bravely let us hear,
When our heroes of sixteen were executed.
Chorus
The day is coming fast
And the time is here at last,
When each shoneen will be cast aside before us;
And, if there be a need,
Sure my kids will sing "Godspeed!",
With a bar or two of Stephen Behan's chorus.
Chorus

A device used by phone phreakers to fool the phone company into giving you free long distance service.
It does this by changing the voltages over the lines to a state where the phone company doesn't monitor and bill.
I use my black box to get free long distance.

The "black top" is refering to the street.
Asphalt street roads are black, hence black top.

Usually a young male, although shows acts of chivilary and kindness, usually has little regard for rules and regulation, and adopts a roguish attitude to his ventures. Often the antagonist of a White Knight.
"That guy just rescued 30 people from a bank siege! After he beat up the criminals, he found out the bank manager was the one who organised the holdup, so he kicked his ass and stole his wallet and car! That guy was such a Black Knight"
