Gruv's Disease

A neurological condition in which a patient suffers sporadic outbursts of anger starting in one's middle age.

Sufferers are known to be calm throughout their lives and never get angry until some time in their 40s thru 60s. This all ends with an outburst of verbal anger, typically directed against those known to the patient, in which victims feel threatened.

After first outburst, a few years will typically pass until the next outburst. Intervals between outbursts will divide in half from then on, until patient becomes unmanageable and must be institutionalized.

There is no known cure or treatment for this condition.

Not inherited, but occurs in white and black people, mostly those of Slavic, Mediterranean, and African descent, and never in Asians or Native Americans.

My brother had to be put in a nursing home because he had Gruv's Disease.

pooping bus

A public bus (usually an intercity route) that has no bathroom and that goes for a significant amount of time (say an hour or longer, sometimes several hours) without making any stops to allow passengers to use the restroom.

These buses are called pooping buses because not everyone can hold it in for the long ride, leading some passengers to go in their pants.

When riding on a pooping bus, wearing a diaper is recommended.

pinch

Evict.

Refers specifically to eviction from rented residential property for failing to pay rent.

Occasionally, landlords will warn their tenants who are behind on rent with this euphemistic term.

The landlord is going to "pinch" the tenant for not paying rent.

During the recession, lots of people cannot afford their rent, so they are being "pinched."

He is behind on his rent; therefore, he is facing "pinching."

According to some interpretations, the song "Pinch Me" by the "Barenaked Ladies" uses this term with this meaning. The narrarator is unemployed and cannot pay his rent, and he is resigning himself to his inevitable fate of homelessness.
